The current congress has had a tough time getting anything passed thanks to old Dubya. Twelve vetoes from Bush and FOUR were overridden by 2/3 majority of congress.

"it was the democraps that blocked every attempt the republicans made to reign in Freddie/Fannie and make them accountable...and it was the democraps who ignored the whole thing..."

Absolutely FALSE! The Bush admin had been warned about this problem years ago, while they still had a majority in congress... and did NOTHING. Two years ago the Dems took a slight majority and now it''s their fault???

You''re lying to yourself if you try to pull that ***!

Especially since they''''ve run up more debt in those two years than Bush has for both wars.

The record increase for discresionary federal spending was during the first two years of the Bush admin. not the last two years. Don''t you get tired of making this suff up?

The poor rightwing. Still saying that the Dems controled goverment with just a two vote majority for the past two years. When they have to rely on lies and think they make their point they shouldn''t wonder why they lost the last two elections.

Typical "doom and gloom" speach. Typical of Democrats trying to save their butts........

Well that''s now what we were told before the election.

And how about those Democrats that took over our Do Nothing Democrat Congress two years ago?

How do you like the way they improve the economy over the past two Republican Congresses?

.............The Dems want the power but none of the responsiblity.

I''m sure their close pals in our liberal fascist press will "continue" to help them out...........SAD

Your liberal president is favoring the sit-in in Chicago. Your liberal is in favor of an unlawful act. Your liberal president is sponsoring his liberal socialistic labor union''s bail-out in Detroit. Who said that "W" had the wrong idea as to economy? he''s your sign, Liberals. Get used to it. You''ll be wearing it for at least 4 years.

You have to forgive them. After eight years of Bush, the neocons aren''t used to hearing the truth from the president.

Is this the same recession that Shrub never admitted was happening?

From the above article: "Obama said repeatedly that his economic advisers are at work on an economic aid package"

Can anyone tell me why Obama isn''t working on it? This is precisely why people asked him for his PRECISE economic plans during the campaign. He smiled smugly and assured us he had. So......um...why are his advisors "working on them now"? he told us he already had detailed plans.....

Sounds like he didn''t tell the truth.
