WHOA...nobody is blaming him for 200 years of failure, BUT this is one area where he promised great gains, AND he has dragged his feet...and this is the big one FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.
If you read the articles, any of them...it is a big deal now because they are now talking legalizing drugs and if you read because he dragged his feet China is making inroads.
He basically criticized Bush on his policy there and then just simply did nothing more than talk.
Nobody is blaming him for all the problems, but he has done nothing to even try to improve it and now it has gone down hill and you dont think that is something to consider in our President.
I dont know how you make these leaps and why you continually, under any and all circumstances blame somebody else for everything this man does.
NOW...editing so maybe I can make the point I am trying to make and at the same time show something good that came out of something...this is from last week...
"Today President Obama again took credit for others’ policies, trumpeting free trade agreements with Colombia and Panama, while neglecting to acknowledge how he campaigned against the very same free trade agreements that he promoted today.
Obama bragged today in a White House fact sheet that NAFTA created $18 trillion in goods and services, but failed to acknowledge that he said in 2008 that “it is absolutely true that NAFTA was a mistake.”
Also, the White House boasted that passage of the Colombia and Panama free trade agreements “underscore the President’s commitment to creating new opportunities for U.S. exporters.” Omitted was the fact that candidate Obama said, “I will oppose the Colombia free trade agreement if George Bush is insistent on sending it to Congress.”
Allow me to give you that last line again....

This is a man who all defend but he is a very duplicitous, not a character trait I want in my President
