RW, > Nobody is "responsible" for 9/11 (as I've said all along).

Well your point-of-view is just as valid as mine, if not more so. Shit happens, but in my mind that shouldn't absolve our government officials from responsibility.

> There are a lot of people responsible for the 'great recession', Bush among them but more a bunch of CEOs, Greenspan as an enabler, others... But Clinton had a very minor part and Obama none at all.

Obama's hand in this recession all depends on how much power you think he has in reversing the aftershocks of the financial meltdown.

The only way one can claim that Obama isn't responsible for the current recession is if you think he really is powerless to change things. Obviously he isn't taking action from such a fatalistic stand. That's what I'd expect any president to do. Take responsibility for the circumstances and move forward from there.
