When in Doubt, Blame the Democrats

As Benen points out, the Republicans are blocking healthcare for the 9/11 heroes. But the heroes are also blaming the Democrats for some reason:

Responders blame [Republicans] most, but are getting tired of Democrats putting it all on the GOP -- noting Democrats control the Senate, where New York Sen. Chuck Schumer is in charge of policy.

"I simply cannot fathom that a Democratic-controlled House, Senate and White House cannot get our bill passed," [John Feal, founder of the Feal Good Foundation] said.

And you know what? I blame the Democrats, too. But not for the same reason. The Democrats ought to be on TV everywhere screaming about this like maniacs, and so this misunderstanding persists. Where's the president on this one?
