Greg Corombos of Radio America and Jim Geraghty are pleasantly surprised to hear New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg tell protesters on Wall Street that Congress deserves the real blame for the economic crisis of 2008.  We also slam President Obama for telling one interviewer he’s not interested in allocating blame for the economy while telling another Congressional Republicans are to blame.  And we assess the latest Herman Cain statement that may suggest he’s not quite up to speed on national security.

President Obama has issued a number of new executive orders on issues ranging from student loans to mortgage refinancing to prescription drugs.  His argument has been that he must act because Congress refuses to work with him.  That’s ridiculous according to Pennsylvania Rep.

Joe Pitts.
