President Obama Owns This Economy

[deacon blues]

I believe he has for at least two years, but he got a pass from the media and his voters. With the next four years belonging to him in the White House, George W will be a distant memory. "It's Bush's fault" won't work anymore. We will finally see if Big Government economics can turn this economy around. I am skeptical that more taxes, not enough real cuts can dig us out of the hole, but we'll see. I hope it works because if doesn't, it's going to be difficult for all of us for a very long time.

So you have your excuse ready before anything has happened? Would you be willing to assign blame to Obama and the Democrats at any point if the economy doesn't improve? Is the president ever required to be a leader and find a way to get even his opponents tom work with him? Bill Clinton led as president and worked with a GOP Congress. Is Obama capable of leadership, or only blame?
