Around 2006, the insiders knew the economy was falling apart. GWBush tried to ride it out, so the real collapse would not come until the next administration took over. But, it crashed about 18 months before he departed.
Obama is doing the same for foreign policy. He is trying to keep things so-so until he gets out of office. His biggest fear is having to preside over the start of another major foreign war — partly because he knows it would likely be in the Middle East. If he can continue to use band-aids and superglue to keep things from completely falling apart, he gets out with a perceived improvement in the economy as his legacy. A major terrorist attack inside the US would destroy his plans and his legacy.

The Dems controlled the Legislative branch the last two years of the Bush 43 presidency. THEY caused the collapse in 2008.
