Depends. If there is a deeper problem than we are being told, at the very least he should give the people a heads up and tell them to maybe save a little more, get some extra food, or prepare for the worst that may not ever come. And I'm sure that can be said in a manner that doesn't cause panic. But blowing smoke up their ass is wrong.
People are told to take shelter and prepare if a hurricane or tornado is coming. US citizens who live abroad are given alerts all the time (via embassy website) if the country we are in is having issues or a dangerous situation is possible, often telling us areas to avoid. So why can't they advise the people to prepare for a financial disaster?

I'm going to vote for Obama again for sure but I'll actually be glad when he's no
longer president because it's been a long 3 years of listening to people bitch,
moan and whine about fake drama concerning him.
People act like they are really concerned about the economy but a few months
ago they were only concerned with a birth certificate that had already been
provided. They are really only concerned about fake drama to damage Obama.

Are things better or worse since he has been in office?
Regardless of who passed the buck to him, it has to stop with him. He even said so himself. What he does or doesn't do with the current situation defines his ability to be a good president/leader.
All the other BS aside, everything is happening on his watch and it ultimately falls in his lap.
