Schadenfraude. The economy doesn't belong to the President. It's more a matter of timing. Clinton got lucky with the Y2K tech build-out and internet explosion. Bush put us into 2 stupid wars, while the debt bubble expanded at home aided by deregulation pushed by both parties.
The difference is that we've never had a President quite like Obama, who ignores the complicity of his own party while continuing to blame the previous party and President almost 2 years into his administration. It's become laughable at this point. Does anyone still buy anything this President has to say.
