It is not uncommon in discussing politics about giving credit or denying credit for anything positive. The Obama / Osama example is just another classic.
If the economy is good, incumbent politicians take credit for it and if it is bad they blame the predecessor, lawyers, corporations, high taxes, excessive government regulations, banks, or <insert your hot topic>.
In NC, the unemployment rate has dropped significantly and the new governor is taking credit for it yet his policies are really just being implemented. Of course, no credit will be given at the national level as helping. It is just a constant spin game by both sides.
