Blaming President Obama for all of the bad things in the economy is just absurd. If you want to blame someone, feast your eyes on the Republican Party.  George W. Bush and the GOP Congress watched and congratulated themselves as the mortgage bubble grew and then burst, causing the Great Recession, the worst downturn in 80 years.  Obama and the Democrats were able to stop the bleeding and restore a semblnce of order to the economy, but a population that expects instant results wasn't satisfied.

The GOP was elected in 2010 to get things moving even faster, but they've largely stood by and done nothing for almost two years now.  For example, a year ago September 8, President Obama submitted the American Jobs Act to Congress, and most of the bill still sits in the House. They won’t take it up, they won’t discuss it, and they won’t even offer up an alternative. It just sits there, because they can't bring themselves to do anything that President Obama may take credit for.
