Unemployment rises; White House blames Bush

Unemployment actually went up last month.

The White House is blaming President Bush.

But it's just not going to work. Barack Obama has been in charge for long enough that he can't avoid primary responsibility for the state of the economy. And while I expect the Democrats will be trying to confuse people on this point from now until November, George W. Bush isn't on the ballot this time around.

But Barack Obama is.
