Well, to Obama's credit he has said on other occasions that this recession is everybody's fault. Fair enough. But there's no question that in general, people like to spit on big, bad corporations (banks, oil companies, whatever) for ruining our lives. I just think people overfocus on odd things .. great example is the mandate in the no-go automotive bailout package that automakers had to get rid of their private jets. Petty. Whatever, I probably have no idea what I'm talking about ... my brain lives generally on another planet most days.
