Obama leading the economy

"So what will be in this speech? Well, looking back on his major jobs addresses of the last three years, we can predict it will contain these core elements:"
It’s the Last Guy’s Fault: Or “I inherited…” ....
Infrastructure Spending:....
Bad Energy Policy: “Green jobs” are part of every Obama jobs speech.....
Raise Taxes: ... balanced approach“, “fair share“, “revenue increasesand that sentimental favorite: "investments"
Straw Men: "Some folks say this speech will invent false arguments from his opponents that cannot be attributed to anyone in particular."....
Blame Congress: ....
Red States and Blue States:....
Blame Everything Else:  "Whether it is Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Oil Prices (that he could help lower), or the Arab Spring; something else is always to blame for our current economic conditions."

Investors Business Daily:  Sun Sets On The President's Policies  " As a White House-favored green-energy company files for bankruptcy, the Export-Import Bank announces $500 million in loans for solar energy projects — in India. America is being thrown under the president's bus."

Charles Krauthammer: Bad Luck? Bad Faith? Obama blames a recalcitrant providence and an unpatriotic opposition for his woes.  "Moreover, luck is the residue of design, as Branch Rickey immortally observed. And Obama’s design for the economy was a near–$1 trillion stimulus that left not a trace, the heavy hand of Obamacare, and a flurry of regulatory zeal that seeks to stifle everything from domestic energy production to Boeing’s manufacturing expansion into South Carolina.
