I would like to have CBS start a new poll. What will be the official date that BO actually assumes responsibility as President.

Bush's and Congress at fault when he was in charge, and now Obama and Congress are at fault.

Bush created the biggest government and spending ever, but Obama didn't make any changes. All he did was to double or triple Bush's spending.

He has already assumed responsibility for fixing the mess, but if he said he created the mess he would be lying.

I think he's responsible now.... But it's not his mess. And almost every reputable economist (non-political hack economist) and a larger percentage of Americans agree. But Americans are impatient and wanted the economy to turn around immediately-- But it never does.

Interesting -- at least when it comes to jobs-- that the trend reversed upon Obama's inauguration and the trend has continued to improve consistently through his presidency so far...

Sorry to confuse your anger and agitation with actual facts that undermine your Obama hating world view:

Laying blame on others is the mark of an unsuccessful person.

Indeed. It is like the same chart, but in reverse

How far do you have to twist every fact till until you find an anti-Obama spin. You realize, of course, that after a while it makes you look ridiculous and one dimensional.

I don't support Obama on everything. I feel like he should have shown better leadership on healthcare, should have led the way on tighter regulations on Wall Street immediately, and has been to bipartisan when its obvious the efforts were fruitless.

However, I don't ignore facts and twist them so I like them better. That's apparently what you are doing, and it makes your side of the debate dishonest and nonproductive.

No doubt. The real numbers are hidden in a vault at FOX headquaters, and they will be revealed when the time is ripe.
