    Ah yes, the ol' GOP talking point that the 2007 recession was Obama's responsibility, despite taking office in 2009. (This doesn't negate all his shit policies, however.)

      The recession wasn’t Obama’s “responsibility,” in that he’s not personally responsible for the fact that capitalism goes into crisis periodically, but the Obama administration absolutely did take out the crisis on the working class while bailing out the ruling class.

      That's not even a lib take tbh. Obama didn't solve the crisis well, attacked the working class for it, and gave me money to the ruling class. But it is a revisionist GOP talking point to say that Obama was responsible for it.

      his response to the crisis is absolutely his responsibility.
