Our economy is worse off then it was a year ago. We are still loosing jobs. Unemployement and underemployement are still on the rise. the national debt and deficit have both increased. Both healthcare reform bills are absolutely crap. So tell me why was is that you all wanted to elect a bunch of democrats to run our country?
I'm not saying that the GoP was doing a stellar job. I mean hell most of them don't even stand for anything anymore. But at least with them our economy was strong |

"But at least with them our economy was strong" Obamas administration inherited an economy in peril, but they obviously haven't made all the right moves to help right the ship either. They're just creating a system that will pass the buck (and an even bigger crisis) down the road to another administration and generation |

at 11:12 AM, Wednesday January 20, 2010 EST so many stupid things to comment on, but "But at least with them our economy was strong" is probably the best.
Also, the economy isn't worse off then it was a year ago. You have to spend money to fix things - hench the increased debt. I will agree that the health bills are pretty weak, as in not nearly progressive enough. |

at 11:17 AM, Wednesday January 20, 2010 EST "um the black guy is retarded enough to take the time to accuse a police man of being racist. And turning an innocent incident into a national agenda for 2 weeks. I figure he wasted about 4 million tax payer dollars on that one.
and its not the GOP that got us into this mess. Its the "everybody should own a house" scheme and the irresponsible fiscal policies of both sides (primarily the democrats though)" -The media made it a national incident -Please stop making shit up like "I figure he wasted 4 million tax payer dollars on that one" -The GOP isn't directly responsible for the bank failures, lending schemes, etc...but neither are the democrats. However, the democrats are working to fix it. -To say that the democrats "primarily" responsible for irresponsible fiscal policies is absolutely idiotic. |

-They're done a lot, actually. Really i guess i blame most of our legislative problems on spineless politicians who like to play the party line politics rather then sticking to what they believe in. -Hey, you said something intelligent, kudos. |
