Inhofe Admits Obama Is ‘The Problem’
Inhofe: ‘This is not an Obama-bashing meeting. … It is, really.’

CATOOSA — U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe had a simple explanation for just about every ill on Tuesday.
President Barack Obama.
“This is not an Obama-bashing meeting,” Inhofe told about 50 businessmen and women at the Tulsa Port of Catoosa, then caught himself. “It is, really, with me here, I guess. It’s not meant to be. But there’s where the problem is.”
From crumbling highways to higher business costs to Vladimir Putin, the blame for all was laid at the feet of the president.
“I forget your question, but that’s the answer,” he said after one particularly long response tying Obama to decades of deferred maintenance on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System.
