I think that's pretty sh*tty, but even Obama himself sorta laid a foundation in accountability, regardless of the opposition's interests, what with this being something he said in the beginning of his presidency regarding fixing the economy:



I mean.. I'm not trying to throw a stick in the spokes or anything, but as much as I like Obama, it's a little confusing to know that at one point he acknowledged the consequences of not being able to get the job done, and is now asking for more time to do it while basically disregarding what was apparently either sincere ignorance or inept policy.

And yea, I know that something as complex as the economy isn't something that can simply be "fixed" with a button, but for someone who was elected president, you would think he'd know that as well. For having a party majority during the first portion of his presidency, I wouldn't think the whole "Republican's fault" argument would have come into play in such an encompassing way.

Just sayin'.
