Obama Blames Economy on Bad Luck

Byron York at The Washington Examiner:

“We had reversed the recession, avoided a depression, gotten the economy moving again,” Obama told a crowd in Decorah, Iowa.  “But over the last six months we’ve had a run of bad luck.”  Obama listed three events overseas — the Arab Spring uprisings, the tsunami in Japan, and the European debt crises — which set the economy back.

Unfortunately for President Obama, America isn’t interested in who he blames for the economy. No other president got a free pass when faced with “bad luck”—especially regarding the economy—and this president will be no different. Obama’s policies, Obama’s economy.
