President Obama says that he cannot change Washington from the inside

Both Parties are bought and paid for

Here is President Obama on Univision talking about how you can get change in Washington.

“And the most important lesson I’ve learned is that you can’t change Washington from the inside. You can only change it from the outside. That’s how I got elected. And that’s how the big accomplishments like health care got done was because we mobilized the American people to speak out. That’s how we were able to cut taxes for middle-class families.

So something that I’d really like to concentrate on my second term is being in a much more constant conversation with the American people so that they can put pressure on Congress to help move some of these issues forward.”

But didn’t you, President Obama, promise us “hope and change”, “change we can believe in”, “change the way Washington works”?  Isn’t that why we elected you four years ago?  Now you are telling us, four years later, that you can’t change Washington being President?!  If such is the case, then why do we need you at all?

Sounds like the biggest alibi I have ever heard, Mr. President.
