Are all the Bush questions being asked to destract from the lack of anything being done by a Dem majority?
You Dem's need to get out of the past and get in gear, your clock is ticking and I do not believe you can fake 3 and a half more years.

I sure am glad Obama ended those foreign wars and bought our troops home.
It's great to see unemployment drop as Americans snap up those 3.5 million new jobs. Obama was smart to spend that 800 million an all those shovel ready projects.
Like 95% of Americans who earn less than $250 thousand a year I am enjoying my lower taxes very much, thank you.

Guess it is easier to claim "nothing has been done" then to argue the pros and cons of what has been done.

It's like dealing with a bunch of 6 year olds. You try to explain that Clinton's surplus came from gutting the military, which is why Bush had to spend so much so fast to get us in shape after 9/11, and it just goes right over their heads. Plus, they can't admit that President Fonzie might not know what he's doing, so they have to believe it's all Dad's fault.

Of course! And do you remember what Obama promised to do before he took office? He said he would bring the troops home from Iraq, Well they are still there aren't they? I think that he underestimated the job of being president. Its a tough job, thats obvious. In the past, Obama has promised things that aren't realistic. The attacks on Bush are just an attempt to put the blame elsewhere. Bush is their Scapegoat. They even blame Bush for the struggling economy. Well, the Dow soared to up over the 10,000 mark under Bush. Why hasn't it gotten higher under Obama? The Dow just doesn't seem to like Democratic Presidents of modern times. It wasn't until towards the end of Bush's term that the dow began a decline. And it is declining alot more under Obama.

No.
"You Dem's need to get out of the past and get in gear"
ALL you republicans did for 8 YEARS was look back and blame all of bush's scewups on clinton!
Tell you what, as soon as all the debt bush racked up and all the damage he caused is cleaned up, then I'll stop busting your ovaries for supporting him.
Why aren't you over there fighting terrorists today?

Yes they are, when Bush was in office, it was never Clinton's fault, just Bush's. Now Obama's in office and the entire Congress has a democratic majority, but it's still Bush's fault. Even though Obama has already spent, or promised to spend, more than Bush and all other presidents' spending combined. It could be November 2012 and the economy would still be Bush's fault.

all arguments between dem's and republicans are staged, check out former governor jesse the body venturas book, he claims that politics is very similar to wrestling because its all staged, dems and republicans are best friends off camera and they actually discuss how they are going to argue, the secret is they both have very similar agenda's.
Vote for an indepent or one of the many other parties that the news pretends don't exist.
Source(s): check out kevin trudeaus podcast he is the author of the best selling book, natural cures they don't want you to know about, yes the very book that made organic food popular in America, it used to only be popular in california. ktradionetwork.com - Steven JLv 71 decade ago
The republican obstructionism will be over when Sen. Al Franken is seated.
Sen. Franken and two term Pres. Obama, enjoy! Pres. Obama will help turn Dubya's Deficits into another democratic budget surplus. Just in time for Biden or Clinton in 2016. So the democrats can do the opposite of republicans and leave surpluses! Surpluses that will keep happening as as theres a democrat. The first republican will turn all surpluses to deficits.
Source(s): Norm Coleman can invite Dubya to go fishing with him in their free time. Pawlenty is going to make it a three some. - Anonymous1 decade ago

I think that you are giving the majority of the population too much credit. I do believe that they can fake 3 and a half more years.
