If the economy does not recover, there is no one to blame but Obama

Obama is running this country right?  He makes all the decision, therefore he gets all the blame and all the credit.  The republicans in congress have steadfastly said, "we don't think that this is a good idea, but you're the President, so we'll try it out.  If it fails, though, then that will show that your policy did not work."  Really, everything that the President has suggested has been green-lighted by congress and implemented.   Everything from the public option, to the full-sized stimulus, to the raising of the debt ceiling, to the jobs plans have been passed.  Oh wait, that's not quite true.  Actually, most of what Obama has tried to do has been stalled by the Republicans in congress.  And short of proposing more tax cuts for the wealthy and less protection for the people, the Republicans have not introduced any legislation to try and fix the economy.   So maybe the economy is not a true reflection of Obama's policies.  You may argue that things would be much worse if Obama's policy's were implemented, but you can't say that this current situation is because of him.
