I don't think so. Your reasoning is sound but it doesn't feel right. Back then "Social Darwinism" was a fairly common idea, and central to the Nazi's rise to power (I believe), making it much easier and more acceptable to blame it on a minority. Today I get the feeling that most people understand that The economy was not Obama's flat, and it is mainly an overly vocal group of republicans and those who are convinced because they don't care/pay attention themselves that clam over-wise. I could be blind to the world but I feel it will be OK.
