That's different than saying Obama's 'sensationalism' is the problem, I don't think he's under or over-stating the nature of the economic emergency.

I read the article. Looks like they're saying, "There is an economic collapse right now, and Obama is President for it". Hardly damning. The end of the article says;

"Jon Merriman, chief executive of brokerage Merriman Curhan Ford, cautioned that the stimulus package will take time, probably six to nine months, to work its way through the economy.
Time is something Obama has plenty of. Ronald Reagan wound up with a healthy 135 percent gain on the Dow for his time in office. Gerald Ford picked up a respectable 23 percent for his shortened term.
"The guy's been in office for two months," Merriman said of Obama. "We gave the last guy eight years. Let's give this one some time."

Oh, and 'learn' how to use 'quote' marks... your 'continued misuse' of them makes 'baby' Jesus 'cry'. 'FYI'.
