Obama wasn't president until 2009 so he isn't totally at fault. Coming out of a long cycle of recession can take years and much of it is up to Congress to try to solve. And what party has controlled the Congress for the last 2 years? Pubs are fooling themselves if they think Romeny/Ryan will fix things!
As the charts will show at the link, there was a deeper recession in 2007 and we are climbing out of it slowly. The deeper the recession, the slower the recovery and it isn't completely or even largely Obama's fault.
And if republicans and their supporters knew anything about the economy (I actually think they are stretching the truth and in some cases lying about who is responsible and supposedly how Romney/Ryan are going to fix it), they would realize that the world economy influences the US economy and is a cause of our recession and unemployment. There is only so much Obama or any president can do to change it. World trade volume greatly affects almost all economies, the US included. It is starting to pick up and is the one bright spot in the recovery. What the president does or doesn't do does not dramatically affect our economy because we are interdependent across the world.
One of several predictions says our economy will improve (with no help from Romney because the predictors are based on current stats.)
