....while it pains me a bit to get into the he said she said argument of partisan hackery, don't pretend that the GOP isn't engaging in the blame game as well. Romney himself has said that Obama has made the economy worse, which beyond playing the blame game, just isn't true.
If the GOP is going to re-write history and say that the economy took a nose dive because of Obama, then Obama is perfectly justified in pointing out that the nose dive happened before he was sworn into office.
For one, President Obama has a big electorate that would vote for him forever regardless of his performance, like any successful politician seems to have.
And secondly, there a a lot of independent votes who stuck their neck out by voting for Obama in '08 that will never admit that they made a mistake.
And, yes, GOP people blast liberals. But no one in the Oval Office, regardless of party, would be doing the blaming himself. That is what VP's, Senate and Congressional leaders, Press Secretaries, etc., are for. The President should be above that.

say what he wants and defend his actions and words. It is expected in that venue.
But, in Presidential addresses, news conferences about other matters, State of the Union Addresses and so forth, I find it very classless and un-Presidential for a President to wag his finger and blame other Americans for all the problems.
The Buck Stops Here, as one of his fellow Democrats once said.
