<div>This is exactly the kind of excuse one continues to hear from kids, slackers, misfits and everyone else who simply will not accept responsibility: "Yeah so I screwed up on this that and the other. What about all the good stuff I did?" I don't care about the good stuff - that's what you agreed to do. Thanks for sticking to your agreement. Enough said. Now lets look a what I really do care about, and what really matters, and that is the stuff you said you would do and didn't.</div>

<div>I'm not saying Obama is making excuses. I doubt he will even acknowledge there is a problem. What I am saying is Mr Hanses seems to think it's perfectly OK to excuse bad behavior by lauding good behavior in its wake.</div>

<div>Totally irresponsible. <br></div>
