The Old Two-Step

Like a lot of politicians, Governor McCrory wants to blame somebody else for all things bad and claim credit for all things good. Yesterday, he set a land speed record by doing both within a matter of minutes.
 
First, speaking to a business group, he claimed credit for North Carolina’s unemployment rate dropping 2 percent last year. Then, talking to reporters right after his speech, he blamed the Perdue administration and Obamacare for DHHS’ Medicaid-mailing disaster last week.
 
We feel compelled to ask: If he can get an entire state economy straightened out in just one year, why doesn’t he fix DHHS?
