Ever since November 2010, when the Republican Party resoundingly capitalized on the nationwide frustration with President Obama, liberals have thrown around the same old tiresome narrative. It’s not the President’s fault. He can’t get anything done because of those stubborn, unwavering House Republicans with no heart, or brains. They’re out to get him for some reason and he can’t do anything about it.

In 2010, it just wasn’t his fault. In 2011, it wasn’t his fault, either. Last year, it definitely wasn’t his fault. Well, what about this year?

How long will these loudmouth liberals blindly keep up the charade, engaging in excuse-making as the sturdiest foundations of the Obama Administration — all of that pre-election buzz and excitement for another magical term — turn into indiscernible rubble? President Obama hasn’t scored a major legislative victory since March 2010, when he proudly signed Obamacare into law to conclude a months-long ramming of that convoluted hodgepodge of rules down Republicans’ throats. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was his supposed masterpiece and the signaling of the Left’s new dawn in this country — decades from now, the President might still be sporting a “That Was Me!” grin on his face. Well, what’s happened since then?

In the many months following that signing of Obamacare — an altogether confusing statute with more and more downsides by the day, and one that should be repealed before it’s too late — what has happened to the transcendent Obama presidency that so many were expecting? To date, nothing’s really been done about immigration reform, climate change, or college costs — all top national priorities, according to Barack Obama, the campaigner. Any hope of a bipartisan immigration bill is falling apart as we speak, the environment has taken a permanent backseat to who-knows-what, and interest rates on a good chunk of college loans just doubled in burden (while Senate Democrats do nothing about it).

As I’ve noted before, this country’s chief executive has yet to establish any sort of workable, even friendly relationship with a Republican on Capitol Hill, whom he could theoretically turn to in a time of political crisis. The President is unceasingly aloof in the Oval Office, clinging to what’s familiar to him and letting the forces of polarization run their course. He sits above the fray, just so long as his domain doesn’t get damaged.

And the result is perpetual inaction combined with a steady lack of presidential leadership. In fact, it’s worse than that. Benghazi is unresolved, and now Egypt falls into disarray once again. Syria is as bloody and as messy and as hopeless as it’s ever been. The IRS scandal shook the trust of millions. And then the Justice Department shook it again, while the President did nothing to ease the shaking. Oh, and where’s Edward Snowden and what’s being done about that?

In the middle of July 2013, the President has nothing to show for any big-name issue of interest, save health care — and his solution to that debacle of soaring costs is falling apart day by day, delay by delay. On top of the incompletion, numerous scandals have slowly instilled grains of doubt into even the most partisan of liberals. Some fervent Obama supporters might even start to question and reconsider. All the while, the President sits idly by in the White House with some of his closest liberal allies, wondering why the Republicans dislike him so much and how fancy campaign promises turned into dreary piles of nothing.

But, I guess that it’s still not his fault, almost a full year into his second term with basically nothing to show for those heartwarming campaigns in 2008 and 2012. Just blame those angry, stubborn, delusional, stubborn, close-minded House Republicans. Did I say stubborn?

And some liberals will continue to do that, even as the next scandal hits the press and Obamacare faces yet another setback. They stick to the same narrative through thick and thin, deeming the President untouchable. When immigration reform falls through, you blame the Republicans. When health care reform hits another snag, you blame the Republicans. When the Middle East shelters another military coup, what do you do? Well, you blame those bloody Republicans.

It’s getting old. At some point, you blame the leader overseeing it all. How much evidence to the contrary does it take to finally flip the narrative?

Hopefully, embarrassing scandal after crippling failure after stagnant inactivity, the blame finally begins spreading elsewhere. When stuff really hits the fan, maybe some of those loudmouth liberals might finally criticize the President of the United States — because, I mean, he is supposed to be a leader after all. Well, that might be asking for a little too much.
