The world economy is in recession, so why refer to it as "Obama's" recession.

Heard some very thoughtful comments by a former Bush appointee who is an economist. He said to the effect that if anything that is currently being touted as the "solution", it would have already been implemented and employed. According to him, the fact is that they need a new solution -- so all this finger pointing and arguing about the known is pointless waste of energy. We need a new idea.

When I thought about it, it made a lot of sense.
