That's like saying, if my new Prius gets hit by a large meteor, it's my fault because I parked it in the unfortunate location. Or "Roosevelt was a Democrat; Hitler invaded the rest of Europe during his watch, so it was his fault."

There is a mathematical study of causation that accompanies the application of statistics. Not only are there multiple causative factors in many phenomenon, you can neither prove nor argue that "Obama is a cause."

We often apply the hindsight clarity that Bush could've stopped the Trade Center and related attacks because the intelligence was available, some low-level civil servant had tried to bring it to someone's attention, but the higher echelons were asleep at the wheel. To be fair, it was 9 months into Dum-Dum's presidency. John Boehner was less forgiving with Obama, when he stood up and asked "Where are the jobs, Mr. President?" just a few months into Obama's first term.

On the other hand, the Bush administration had already signaled something of its desires by attacking Iraqi planes to enforce the no-fly zone that spring. I had predicted almost every major problem or event for the next eight years in summer 2000 with e-mail and forum exchanges, and sitting around a campfire in the Northern Cascades on September 10, 2001. And don't ask me how I did that, because I don't know.
