I've said it before and I'll say it again...you give the president WAY too much credit (rep or dem) if you think he is responsible for the current economic situation. If you're going to blame the pres for the current recession, do you also give him credit for the unparalleled economic growth of the last 5 years?
Greenspan is FAR more to blame than the white house, and he was chairman for both the reps AND dems, so go figure. The Federal Reserve stood by and let Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac underwrite billions of dollars in subprime loans and wrap them up in neat little packages with the rest of thier good loans, and the current situation is the result. If you want to point a finger, that is a better place to start.
Besides, if you aren't willing to get involved in politics, then you're just tilting at windmills.
But at least you cast a line and H2SNOW took the bait!! Fish On!!
