I judge Obama by the decisions he's made, not by the events that have happened to the country under his watch.

In the real world, rather than parallel fantasy worlds, we deal with absolute results. This universe is not one of what might have been or what could have been, as that is impossible to determine. Hitler may have become a Budhist priest in another life or persued his interest in art. However, he did not. What we can say is what is real and present today. That is the measure by which we have evaluated every other president in US history and Obama is not exempt from examination. He, and his policies, have failed.

By that logic, we should blame Bush for 9/11, since he failed in acheiving absolute results.

To Bush's credit, he actually cut unemployment and improved the economy after 9/11 and the "dot com" bubble.

And he did it by increasing the level of private debt in our economy , which caused it to crash in 2008.
