f he'll agree to not take credit for any improvements
in the economy over the next two years I'll agree not to
criticize him for any problems with it. Trouble is, he
wants it both ways. He wants you to think it's someone
else's fault when it's bad but his success if it's good.
Mind you, he's no worse than any other President in
this regard. He's also no better.

Got it in one. There was a character in some novels a while back who was called
"Otherguy." His response to everything was to blame it on the "other guy."
Damned near every politician I've seen since Harry Truman works that way,
regardless of party or espoused philosophy, and their adherents follow suit.
