What ACTUALLY happened is a badly constructed sentence made it appear Obama caused the drought (misplaced modifier, such as "Coming around the corner, the Empire State Building greeting the newly arrived immigrants, then the tallest in the world" -- the immigrants aren't tall, and the ESB didn't walk around the corner). The poor sentence was recalled in embarrassment and a correction sent in less than 24 hours. I agree, it was very poorly worded. Much what people are jumping all over these days are poorly worded statements. The meaning is in the whole context.
