Serious question which requires a search of White House archives: Have we ever had a president who spent this much time encouraging Americans to blame their problems on specific groups of private citizens?
Other have done it, but I don't think to the extent and frequency Obama does. I recall Nixon referring to protesters as "bums" (or something close to it) but I don't recall him continually singling them out in most of his press conferences. I don't recall Clinton continually attacking dot-com investors.
