It sure is hot today, must be Obama's fault.
I think it's going to rain tomorrow, might even flood. Must be Obama's fault.

No-one comes out of this well: as I understand it, the White House assumed that al-Megrahi would be free in Scotland but not returned to Libya; the Scottish government then disabused them of that assumption by (a) freeing him and (b) bunging him on the first plane ot Libya they could find.
