So if you're going to blame one president for things that are happening, even for things that happened before he got into elected office, it's doesn't seem right to flip back and forth and credit prior Congresses for being responsible for good times and then blame individual presidents for bad times, is it?

In your defense of Obama, it almost sounds like your suggesting he has no responsibility or accountability for what happens during his watch and under his stewardship. What happens matters and leaders are ultimately responsible and accountable for the state of the union during their tenure. Responsibility and accountability cannot be passed beyond a certain point. Remember where the buck stops?
