His protestations of innocence are entirely consistent w/ the general campaign theme being shoveled by the White House. I've heard Obama say, on 3 different occasions in the last 5 weeks, that the electorate mustn't even dream of putting the GOP back in office b/c they're the ones that drove the car into the ditch, etc.
Basically, everything-is-Bush's-and-Wall-Street's fault has been the mantra they've been chanting.
