When things improve who ever is in the WH will get the credit and ditto for when things don't go so well.

What I would like to see is if the claim is things are improving because of Obama, how about tying the progress to something he did that resulted in any improvements.

What Obama is experiencing is what we called the lake effect improvement. That meaning if Obama is captain of the ship in a shallow lake that is rising to improve ship movement it is not because of anything he did at all. Any boat that happens to be on the lake will rise as well. And that is what is happening to the economy; the improvements as slight and as fragile as they are are not traceable to any money pay out programs.

Does anybody really believe the auto industry is seeing improving sales is attributable to the auto bail out?
