updated 1:51 p.m. ET, Wed., July 15, 2009 <br />WASHINGTON - With four simple words — "Give it to me!" — President Barack Obama took possession of the economy. <br /><br />For months, the White House and Obama's economic team have laid the economic crisis at the feet of President George W. Bush. But there comes a point in a presidency when inheritance becomes ownership. Obama made that pivot Tuesday in Michigan, the state suffering the worst unemployment in the nation. <br /><br />"I love these folks who helped get us in this mess and then suddenly say, 'Well, this is Obama's economy,'" the president said in a pointed deviation from his prepared text. "That's fine. Give it to me!"
