Just like republican blame everything on past democratic presidents. What's fun is each side is SURE it's only the OTHER side doing it.
Like Reagan repeatedly blamed carter for example.
"First, we must understand what's happening at the moment to the economy. Our current problems are not the product of the recovery program that's only just now getting under way, as some would have you believe; they are the inheritance of decades of tax and tax, and spend"- 1982 State of the Union
"The problems we inherited were far worse than most inside and out of government had expected; the recession was deeper than most inside and out of government had predicted. Curing those problems has taken more time and a higher toll than any of us wanted."- 1983 State of the Union Address

Gas national avg the past 6 months is LOWER than it was 4 years ago
Unemployment 2 months before the election in 2008 is exactly the same 7.5% (not 9%) rate is was 2 months before this one (and back then it was on the way up, now it's on the way down)
Food stamps generally follow (with a bit of lag behind) the unemployment rate, so that's not a real shocker they went up during a serious recession... food stamp use shot up the first few years of Reagans first term too, same reason... food stamp use shot up first few years of Clinton, same reason... food stamps skyrocketed from 02-06 too.
In fact the ONLY year food stamp use didn't go up since Bush was elected was 2007, the last year of the "good" economy.
I'm not even a big fan of Obama, but holy cow are some folks facts totally divorced from reality!

Wait until Obamacare kicks in at a minimum cost of $2,000 penalty per employee for not providing health insurance. Look at the restaurant industry......many chains with over 50 employees. Costs will be unbearable, and they will cut back.
