When you hear that both sides are to blame, you look at who is making that statement and that will tell you which side is losing the battle.
I will damn sure tell you that if the Teabaggers and their republican pawns thought they had a chance in hell of winning this thing, it would only be the Democrats fault. They know they are wrong and deep in a hole so, the only thing they can do is try to spread the blame.

Doesn't feel right equating our President with a waiter.
