President Obama, at his campaign stop in Pennsylvania earlier this week, to the obligatory pot shot at Republicans - and it ended up backfiring on him.  While declaring that the "time for talking was over" President Obama said...

“I got all my Republican colleagues out there saying ‘No, no, no, we want to focus on things like costs.’ You had 10 years. What happened? What were you doing?”

(Video after the jump)

Now my friend Ed Morrissey (HT to Ed for the video) sees yet another "Obamateurism" in the comment....

Ten years? Republicans held the Congress and the White House simultaneously for six years, 2001-6 inclusive — and for over a year at the beginning of that period, Democrats controlled the Senate.  Republicans controlled the House for twelve years, but six of those were when Bill Clinton was President, and they only won the House after Clinton tried jamming a massive government takeover of the health-care system down the throats of Americans, who clearly didn’t want one.  Democrats controlled Congress for the last four years, but they didn’t seem terribly keen on suggesting that they work with George Bush on the problem during the last two years of his administration, either.

And while Ed is absolutely correct, my first thought was centered more around this comment....

“we’ve been talking about health care for nearly a century,”

...and during that century DEMOCRATS have had control of both Houses for as much as 15 years consecutively and there were three Democrat Presidents in that time period (Jimmy Carter, JFK and LBJ).  What happened then Mr. President?  What was your party doing then?  If the GOP is disqualified from having any input for not doing anything on it for the "ten years" the supposedly had control, how much more disqualified are the Democrats with their 15 years of consecutive control when they didn't address it?

We won't hold our breath waiting for the President to answer that particular question....
