As recently as one year ago, the public blamed former U.S. President, George W. Bush, for the unrelenting 2008 financial crisis that happened under his watch and spilled over into the administration of successor, President Barack Obama. 

However, a new poll released this week indicates, 7 in 10 Americans blame Obama for the terrible state of the U.S. economy. This is most likely due to the fact he's had almost three years to fix it, yet things have become worse. He shall regret the spending sprees he treated the corporate sector to on the tax payers dime, as it is not the way to prosperity, but poverty.
