He's taking responsibility. Just because he can't fix the mess overnight doesn't mean he's sloughing off responsibility, or that he wasn't ready to go. What you seem to have trouble wrapping your mind around is that real life is not a TV drama where everything is solved in one hour-minus-commercial-breaks. Yes, he did inherit a major problem. A problem three decades in the making. Surely you are not suggesting that he take the blame for what was started in the 1980's? This mess is going to take years to solve. Years. He's the president, not a wizard. He can't just wave his wand and make everything lovely. I know that's going to be a hard adjustment because magic and (in their own words) voodoo economics seem to be the republican solution for anything involving money, but unlike Reagan and the Bushes (and Clinton) we live in the real world and can't just cast a spell to fix things.
