Is Obama promoting "fear itself?" Unlike FDR saying "all we have to fear is fear itself?"?

I have been reading his speeches. The striking thing is that he keeps referring to the 'crisis' as if it was the end of the world, and referring to its cause as Bush, as though no other politician had anything to do with it. Then after inciting fear and desperation in the public, he gives vague and evasive solutions to his so called 'Bush crisis'. I see it as pure partisan politics and him already preparing his defense for his inevitable failure.
