Each day that passes by post 1/20 Inauguration Trump owns more and more

Frankly people in the US have short attention spans. Now I know there's a group of 20 to 25% out there who just hate anything center or left so they will fight whatever they can to blame liberals/Dems for everything. But I do believe that most center, non-politically engaged people, won't fall for the "It is Obama's fault" bullshit. I also don't think that most people give two shits about Susan Rice beyond the right wing talk shows and blogs. They DO CARE about their healthcare premiums, they DO CARE about their internet privacy (I think this should be a HUGE 2018 talking point), they DONT want wars, etc.

Trump's ability to blame Hillary/Obama/Dems is going to be lost on many people. Just my take. That's why you see approvals now getting into the mid 30% range.

Fox News tried to create a talking-point by calling it the "Obama Recession" and the "Bush Recovery".

And Trump is already blaming Obama for the gas-attack in Syria that happened under HIS watch. (Btw, what happened to his brillant plan to defeat ISIS???)
