I understand the democrats in Congress blaming the republicans and vice versa, but the president should address the failures of both parties.  Taking a partisan position at this time is deplorable.

You must be aware that Obama is a Democrat, right? And you're suggesting he call out his own party for political and socioeconomic missteps? Well, shucks, if it were that easy...

Are you suggesting he follows the Republicans lead, and cut out this partisanship ,work together and of course share the blame.

Oh wait they don't do that either!
