Obama blamed Bush for the slowest economic recovery in 3/4's of a century for nearly 8 years. I guess it was actually Obamas fault after all?

Once Obama took office and passed his stimulus plan and got his economic plans put into action, he owned the economy. Whether it did good or bad was on him.
The same goes for now. Trump hasn't passed any economic legislation. He has made some threats and some deals and signed a few executive orders, but the things that are happening right now and that have been happening for the last few months have little or nothing to do with him. That didn't stop him from taking credit for it, but as soon as something not-so-great comes along, he blames Obama.
I know every president does it, it just amuses me to see it happen. Just like the Republicans who have been silent about their last 8 years of obstructionism are suddenly very much against it when it is being used against them.
