In a video posted Monday at Townhall, Obama told Matt Lauer that people are frustrated because he has not been able to "force Congress to implement every aspect of" his radical agenda.
"Our Founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes,” he said.
But he promised to keep "plodding away, very persistent."
"And, you know what? One of the things about being President is you get better as time goes on," he added.
A post at Freedom's Lighthouse notes:
Uh, that’s because the Founders were trying to prevent exactly what you are trying to do, Mr. President. They did not want the Federal Government to dominate the life of every citizen from cradle to grave. They wanted people to be free – to earn their own keep and keep what they earn. What a concept.
"All hail the king--in his own mind," wrote Greg Hengler of Townhall.
So far, President Obama has blamed George Bush, the Internet, ATM machines and a "messy democracy", among others, for his total failure to lead.
Now, it's all the fault of those pesky Founders who designed a system to ensure America never has a dictatorial chief executive. But not to worry. If he gets re-elected, he'll work on that as well.

There is one thing that no president should ever take away - Personal Liberties and Human Rights. Unfortunately citizens of this great land already lost much of it. President Obama is as guilty as a president before him.

Complete and utter nonsense. Just looking at the present nincompoops in Congress wins the President's argument for him. He's stating fact not blaming anyone. He'd be the first to say we have the best system of government in the world, but it is by no means perfect. What is?

It's called checks and balances...It isn't supposed to be all about one person. That's called dictatorship.

Well, he is the fourth best President ever, better than any of them. According to him.

How do you get, "All hail the king--in his own mind," from a prosaic description of how our government works and the difficulty of moving bills through Congress if one side is determined that no bills will move through Congress?
