It's not the "Obama haters" who made that claim, is was his own administration.
So, would you like to try again?

Oh sure, the president made the claim as I recall as well. However, I still think that you guys are shootin off critisisms too quickly. This economy is extremely volatile and there is no silver bullet. Ya'know, don't forget, that when Obama took office he was very realistic about this crash and tried to get everyone to realize how serious it is: he was criticized for being too negative; "it was the president's job to be
positive and
smile about everything to encourage the markets", Now they criticize him for not being a realist
.
I don't know what you're asking me to try. I just think that your logic is unreasonable given the reality.

Where is
the end? The Republicans have been, since the president's oath of office engaging in a campaign of singular harrassment and obstructionism. They are going to
make him fail at any cost, just like they
were going to ruin Clinton: that's why he was impeached.
Unemployment is still going to drop realtive to the time it takes this stimulus to get going. So I think you guys are criticizing just to criticize really.
