Blaming a bad economy on Obama

Michael launched the first strike on what we'll see alot from the right: blaming Obama for a bad economy. So let's just take stock today, shall we, so we don't forget where Bush left us or try to rewrite history:

Come January, President Obama will inherit the weakest U.S. economy in 25 years, with output shrinking, unemployment rising, the federal deficit out of control and a financial system on government life-support. The new president will probably spend his first year in office careering from crisis to crisis, throwing lifelines to hard-hit households, local governments, industries and developing countries.

Oh yeah, and an unemployment rate that's at 6.5%.
