As I recall, Obama came to office AFTER the Democrats had had control of Congress for two years...and that the crisis of late 2008 and early 2009 was as much in anticipation of a pure "Democrat" government (Executive and Congress) as it was of "Republican mismanagement". Why not give the Democrats credit for what THEY "mismanaged" those last two relevant years? Or for their part in the creation of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, etc.? While I'm not a big Bush fan by any means, the fact is that we had a pretty good economic picture (low unemployment, etc.) under his administration until the coming of the Democrat Congress and employers anticipating that Obama would be the nation's President.
As for Obama being limited to 3 years to turn it around....well, after 3 years I would like to see at least SOME indication that he had an IDEA of how to "turn it around". It's not a case of race; rather, it the the fact that Obama was elected with virtually no experience in ANY productive aspect of life. I'll be the first to admit that he seems like a very personable individual...but the simple fact is that he's just not qualified to be our country's chief executive..
Romney may not have it, either; he's a big question mark in that regard. But at least he is a "question mark". With Obama, the question mark is gone; he's now a known entity. And what's known about him indicates that he just can't cut the mustard.
