Uh, Matt - The recession is not the Democrat's fault

Remember in the Contract with America, where Newt Gingrich talked a big game about personal responsibility (Translation: lay the blame on either someone else of a fictitious bogeyman)?
Matt Margolis shows some of that 'personal responsibility' by laying the blame for the state of the economy.....on the Democratic Congress.

First, let’s correct señor Obama, on the economy. The economy was enjoying record growth until the Democrats took over Congress. Since Barack Obama’s party took over, gas prices have skyrocketed, and that has had the most significant impact on the economy. The Democrats promised to lower gas prices. They didn’t deliver. The Democrats fought for an increase in the minimum wage. Those of us who understand economics said it would cost jobs. Guess what? We were right. The economy has started losing jobs thanks to the Democrats minimum wage hike.

Sorry Obama, the poor state of the current economy belongs to you and your party.

Edit From The Count: A Visual reference. This is Margolis with his twin brother. Matt is on the right.
