There is an idiot here who is proclaiming that Obama is responsible for the current financial crisis or the unemployment wrought by the ensuing recession.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The international bank and credit meltdown that lead to this recession was created during the Bush administration!
Many of us remember McCain and Obama traveling to Washington D. C. to attend a cabinet level meeting to deal with the situation. MeCain even went so far as recess his entire campaign as a result of the meeting, although while there he turned out to have nothing of substance to contribute while Obama asked good questions and seemed to be well informed about the financial situation.
In fact, McCain had led in the major polls going into this meeting, but as a result of his lackluster performance and Obama's command of the situation, within days the polls turned and Obama overtook McCain who never led again. Most of us remember this, and know what has happened since with a Republican Congress refusing repeatedly to pass a stimulus package that two Nobel Winning Economist have said was necessary for a robust recovery.
So as a result of this Republican intransigence, amid foolish claims of the need for austerity there has been nothing that would allow the economy to recover coming from a Republican Congress. Indeed, the Republicans have been proud of the fact that they have done everything possible to avoid a recovery or at least stall it. So anyone who wants to claim that Obama is responsible for the unemployment or that he had anything to do with causing the current recession should stop talking out their ass. But since people doing this currently are misogynists, racists and homophobes I doubt they have any inventive to take such action!
