When should Obama take ownership?

Hi all! I'm just curious to see what others think. At what point does the economic problems we face become the accountable responsibility of President Obama? How long can we continue to blame the crises on former President George W. Bush? I feel like we are at the point of bickering children in the school yard with Obama saying, "Well he started it!" Seriously, there have been several massive expensive efforts to right the ship, and from my prospective, they don't seem to be working. So when do we get to blame Obama? When will he be held accountable for the actions of his administration? I was a his supporter and voted for him. Am I completely off base here?

It became his problem the moment he took the oath of office. He can say Bush did this and Bush did that but what is he doing. As President Nixon once said to replorters "yuopu won't have me to kick around any more"

I agree with this, but it seems the press does not want to agree. They seem to agree with anything Obama does. I think it should be renamed from the "Press Corps" to the "Yes corps". I have never seen a time where the press blindly accepts whatever the President says.
