Obama is indeed getting scared that the collapse of the economy will be blamed on him. The carnage is accelerating at a much higher pace while he sits atop the throne. He much rather would have had more of a “controlled burn” of the economy that lasted a little longer and that looked like it was Bush’s fault.
Obama owns this Depression, which is why I think it should be called the Obama Depression.
It will be interesting to see which goes down in flames faster, Obama himself or his ego.
