That's exactly what the conservatives think. Of course, they don't remember that Reagan had run-away inflation and 9% unemployment TWO YEARS into his presidency. Conservatives say, "But Reagan inherited the economy from Carter." Well, WTF, Obama inherited the economy from Bush and he's only been in office 6 months. They complain and will complain if their people aren't in power and they blame minorities for them not being in power--"Obama is president because of he has black skin." No, he's president because he was the best man for the job.
