Does anyone remember just after Obama was elected

[grabber]

there were people standing on street intersections handing out leaflets with Obamas face on them blaming him for the housing crisis and this was before he took office?

1. Comes with the territory - once you're president, everything is your fault

The whole "thanks, Obama" meme gives it a nice humorous spin.

I think it has something in common with how most of us thought as young adults growing up; everything was our parent's fault. Cultural maturity seems to lag behind individual maturity.

2. My mother in law was afraid they were going to arrest him.

At the swearing in, no less.

3. No. I did speak to someone

who 1 week before the 2008 election was blaming everyone from Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, and even JFK and MLK ??? for the 2002-2008 housing bubble and the collapse of the financial sector.

This is the s**t that comes from hate radio and conspiracy sites.

4. So what?

Does anyone remember how leaflet-peddlers impacted Obama's presidency?

The answer is NO - because they didn't.

5. No, but . . .

I remember Hannity calling it "the Obama economy" within days of Obama's first election. I was slack-jawed for a week.
