Obama: Voters to decide who caused 'this mess'
(AP) – 1 day ago
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama acknowledges that the fall elections could amount to a referendum on his stewardship of the nation's affairs.
Obama tells NBC in an interview that "nobody in the White House is satisfied" with continuing high unemployment.
But he also says the midterm congressional elections could come down to "a choice between the policies that got us into this mess and my policies that got us out of this mess."
The president said in the interview he believes voters "are going to say the policies that got us into this mess, we can't go back to." He also said Washington "has spent an inordinate amount of time on politics — who's up and who's down — and not enough on what we're doing for the American people."

Obama is borderline delusional if he really believes that the voters will buy this line of thinking and not blame his administration and the Democrats for our current situation. He's nearly halfway through his first term and we're not even remotely close to 'out of this mess' as he implies.
Even if you do think that Obama did do something of note, there's little question that voters aren't going to blame the old guard. He's going to get the blame regardless. Continuing to blame Bush is a real problem for this administration nearly two years in.
