Obama's Magic Wand

Durning the debt ceiling debate, a time when you were just as likely to read someone trashing President Obama as supporting him on DU, I posted an OP in which I used the term "Magic Wand". Basically I said people felt Obama had a magic wand in which he could wave and fix everything instantly.

One reply stated how I was using hyperbole, as if I didn't realize it, that "nobody believed that".

Well, maybe my hyperbole wasn't as much an exaggeration as it first appeared;

Today, I heard a report on NPR's "Here and Now" talking about counting the jobs numbers, how Romney says jobs have been lost while Obama says they have been gained.

Well, if you don't believe Obama had a magic wand, you need to allow time for his policy to take hold. Until that time the results really belongs to Bush.

If you DO believe Obama had a magic wand, you can start counting on January 20, 2009 since at noon that day he became president.

So, when is Romney starting the count? June 20, 2009 to allow time for thing to start working? NO!
January 20, 2009? NO!
January 1, 2009 giving Obama credit for the job losses which occurred while Bush was still in office.

So, I guess the Republicans, not only believe in the Obama Magic Wand, they feel it was retro active.

I am just waiting for Obama to be blamed for the following;
The 2008 recession
Starting the wars in Iraq/Afghanistan
Allowing 9/11
Iran-Contra
Iran Hostages
The Vietnam war
The Korean war
The Cold war
Dropping the atomic bomb on Japan
World War 2
Allowing Pearl Harbor
The Great Depression
World War 1
The sinking of the Titanic
The Civil War
The Revolutionary War
Basically, anything in American History.
