I don't think there is anything less intelligent then the general stroke of 'well this guy is president, the economy is bad, therefore he is to blame'.

It's almost like an open refusal to do any critical thinking. Correlation is not causation, and certainly in this case, that is the broadest stroke that could ever be made. Calling it, Obama's economy just loses someone all credibility.

If he could point to one, just one, "Obama" policy that he somehow enacted by himself without the help of congress and then directly (or even indirectly) tie that to a cause for the economic downturn, that would be an article at least worthy of the minute I spent reading.

What this article actually says is "I'm too stupid to think about why the economy is actually bad. I don't know, and I don't have the mental fortitude to start linking things empirically, so I'm just going to blame the guy in charge because it's easy and, hey, it could be true".

It's hard to teach bitter old white men to think critically.
