The first line of the article was this:
“I agree that Obama inherited a crappy economy, and I think it is silly to assert that he bears any responsibility for the severity of the 2007-2009 recession.”
At that point, the author had no credibility with me at all. How breathtaking.
This is what Obama inherited: Obama!

I read your article and found its economic conclusions spot on.
The only problem I see with it is that the American populace—well, at least the ones you spotlighted—cannot and will not make the connection between intrusive government and the loss of their jobs.
To this day I doubt that many have made the connection between Obama’s restrictions on oil drilling and the prices that they have been paying for gasoline.
