. . . even if he IS telling the truth, what exactly is RMoney going to surmise from these meetings but "It's Obama's Fault"?

There's no atomic chance on Earth that he's going to be objective about, or come to any realistic conclusion on why they're struggling. Never mind that the real reasons have much to do with 31 years of a flat real-dollar wage trying to keep up with a never-decreasing cost of living and speculation-driven boom/bubble/spectacular crash economic shocks taking the place of boring profit/person/socially balanced capitalism. He doesn't see that because he's just not wired to. He's only wired to point fingers like an MBA would, even when there's no obvious target.

We saw the horrendous results of an MBA President running America like a top-heavy business.
