Who is to Blame, Herman Cain?

Sadly, I think the notion that if you don't have a job you have no one but yourself to blame, is accepted by way, way, way too many Americans.  But Herman Cain really does have to decide who is to blame here.  From HuffPost Politics.  The emphasis is mine:
Herman Cain recently criticized the Occupy Wall Street protesters, saying, "Don't blame Wall Street. Don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself."

At Tuesday night's CNN debate, Cain stood by his comments -- to loud cheers from the audience.

"I still stand by my statement," he said.

"They might be frustrated with Wall Street and the bankers, but they're directing their anger at the wrong place," he added. "Wall Street didn't put in failed economic policies. Wall Street didn't spend a trillion dollars that didn't do any good. Wall Street isn't going around the country trying to sell another $450 billion. They ought to be over in front of the White House taking out their frustration."
So, who is to blame, Mr. Cain?  Me, or the White House? 

Since he'll never be President, too bad we won't get to see the tables turned.
