Re: Do nothing Congress
said by DaveNJ  :Well with Congresses lowest rating ever recorded, how could you expect anything. Could we starting blaming Obama now ? He said he wanted to stop investments, and tax the rich. How is that going to spur growth? Obama isn't president yet. And quite frankly, whatever he decides to do won't even START to take effect till 2010 (IF he gets laws passed in 2009), so we really won't be able to start blaming him for anything just yet.
I know that there are people that will probably start blaming Obama for everything on January 21st, but those people probably don't quite understand how things work in Washington. 
If there is a new broadband policy, we won't see it work - or FAIL - till at least 2010. |

I guess there is hope after all!

OK, so with that said, are you ready to "man up" and admit the policies of the Clinton administration were responsible for the lapses that led to 9-11?
I whole hearted agree with what you said. For pretty much all of 2010 we are still working off, for all intents and purposes the "Bush" years.
But still, most of my left of center friends blame Bush for the 9-11 attacks.....

It is even funnier how people can only look back just 4 to 8 years to see anything and not realize that these shoes have been on other feet before.. it really works both ways.. the same can be said about the conservatives...
.. I guess the hope isn't really there, now, is it?
I am neither right or left, but if anything goes right now, the Right should NOT be trying to hold their heads up, pointing fingers and gloating right now. The rubber stamp right has PLENTY of blame to eat right now.
And for the record, as soon as the dems got control back in congress in 2006, they were immediately blamed by the right for everything on the 91st day.. so really, you can can your crap next to the creme of corn. |

Why wouldn't I be ready to agree with that? Everyone with some sort of brain knows that the Clinton administration could have done a LOT more to keep track of Bin Laden and his intentions.
But rather then blaming both the Clinton and Bush administrations, the real fault lies with the CIA and FBI, who dropped the ball more then once keeping track of the hijackers.
They had the 20th hijacker in custody before 9/11 for God's sake, and they STILL weren't able to connect the dots.
Last but not least, anyone who believes that one party is always right, and the other is always wrong, has the brain of a nitwit, and an easy task come next election, just fill all the boxes of your party and go home.
I tend to THINK who I vote for and usually end up voting for both republicans and democrats, because I read up on them instead of siding with one party. |
