Can we set an agreed upon point in time, at which President Obama should be held accountable for the bad things that occur during his presidency?

Example: According to many liberals, everything going on that's bad is Bush's/GOP's fault. When does Obama/Democrats get assigned at least some, (even less than 1%) of the blame?

Is it 3 1/2 years? 6 years (if he gets reelected)? What point in time is Obama responsible, even if for less than 1% responsible.

Is he still blaming someone else, specifically, Bush?

I guess it doesn't matter since those who fall for that nonsense don't have 2 brainwaves to rub together.

They also go back to blaming Roosevelt and sometimes even Abe Lincoln for all the ills today.

Right after we cure the crap Bush put on us. They say it will take ten years at least to put this behind us.

When the rebpublican congress decides to STOP doing everything in their power to paint Obama as a failure, and to block every proposal that Obama makes in order to heal the economy, THEN, we can start holding Obama responsible for the results.

Your never going to get an anwser. Basically, good leaders lead without crying about who's fault it is, but rather focus on solving problems and writing the ship....whereas incompetents look for excuses to blame failures...

Excuse, excuse,....being President reequires dimplomacy and ability to win others to their line of reasoning. If one can not do that then they have to change their vantage, try to implement different policy ideas, compromise more or move on....we elect Presidents to get the job done, not just to come to the table with ideas. An ability to execute and inspire others is equally important...that is called Leadership

he inspired and motivated the majority of Americans. He was (and is) not perfect, but neither is anyone else. You know as well as I do thatf as soon as he was elected, and before he had a chance to do anything at all, the republican congress vowed to block everything he wanted to do, regardless of how much he compromised and searched for a "middle of the road" solution. If you cannot see that clearly (although I know you will deny it) you are just lying to yourself!
