she made the case that anything bad we see now is just stuff Obama inherited

And EVERY time someone uses the "INHERITED" argument between now and November, there has to be someone in the discussion that immediately hammers back and says, "And WHO was running Congress when our economy began to tank? Who was IN the Senate when our economy began to tank? Track it back and you may be surprised!"

That argument was popular here in 2008 EXCEPT most people polled said they thought that Republicans still controlled congress. So republicans got creamed.

Then in 2009 I started posting that the above was not a very good argument anyway. So I got called a DUer a few times for not being a R team player (not the last time either LOL)

The problem with the : 'Pelosi took over the House in 2007 so that's why the economy started it's diving ~ 8 months later, September 2007' argument, is that now Republicans took over the House from Dems with Obama as POTUS.
Do we use that same rule and give Obama a pass for rising prices and crappy employment and blame Boehner for all these problems? I like to stay some-what consistent.
