But as Greg Sargent explained, the president’s willingness to make these arguments publicly is important: “I’m not sure Obama has ever gone so directly at the idea that today’s GOP has become what some of us have been calling ‘post-policy’; that the basic imbalance resulting from that is the primary cause of reigning Washington dysfunction; and that on a fundamental level, press coverage is failing to reckon with these realities.”

There are those who choose not to believe this. Many in the Beltway – perhaps out of habit, perhaps out of laziness, perhaps out of blind adherence to a misguided ideology that dictates “both sides” are always to blame, facts be damned – prefer to believe that if radicalized congressional Republicans refuse to govern, Obama must somehow be responsible.
