At the unveiling of former President George W. Bush's official portrait at the White House this afternoon, President Barack Obama joined his predecessor and their wives in delivering brief (and at times nice, cordial, and funny) remarks. But there was a seemingly out of place moment during the ceremony when Obama seemed to veer into reiterating his frequent trope that he inherited a bad economy from Bush.
"The months before I took the oath of office were a chaotic time," Obama said, after explaining that the president's job is isolating, and that he and Bush have a connection since so few have held the job. "We knew our economy was in trouble, our fellow Americans were in pain, but we wouldn't know until later just how breathtaking the financial crisis had been."

They both knew the economy was in big trouble and they both agreed to help bailout the very people who made it that way at our expense.

Obama will always be a whiner.
We all know liberals have a hard time accepting responsibility for their actions.
In this case, he took a pretty bad situation and promptly made it worse.
Then made more boneheaded moves
to delay the recovery.
In short, Obama is an economic illiterate.
He doesn't have a clue what drives the economy.
He believes it's the government.

In his case though he has been right...
The government has driven the economy - in a slow downward spiral.
