Obama: I reversed recession until 'bad luck' hit
by Byron York
At a town hall meeting on his campaign-style tour of the Midwest, President Obama claimed that his economic program "reversed the recession" until recovery was frustrated by events overseas. And then, Obama said, with the economy in an increasingly precarious position, the recovery suffered another blow when Republicans pressed the White House for federal spending cuts in exchange for an increase in the national debt limit, resulting in a deal Obama called a "debacle."
"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.

The good news is that he may finally be moving on from the "It's all Bush's fault" meme.

Only because it was getting close to dodging shoes, dead cats, and rotten tomatoes stage, even with most of the MSM toadies.

Correctly, it would be... "It's not ALL my fault. I had some help from my fellow Marxists in Congress."
