Atleast hes not busy "PLAYING" a rancher in Texas all the time!!!!!! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/blog/2008/03/04/BL2008030401392.html http://www.slate.com/id/2098861/ Get off the hate Bush bandwagon he is gone. This isnt about him. Its about our new president. And IMO delgateing to much and not steping up to the plate and being a leader! Obama hasn't been on job long. I'm giving him a chance. I gave Bush that same chance. I know he hasnt been on the job long but he needs to give geithner help, and let him focus alone on the stimulas and take the rest away. Just letting him deal with all he has to will just lead to failure. When he himself says Geithner has a lot on his plate should he lighten his load? I mean trillions of dollars is a lot to deal with in of itself. Look at AIG "no one knew the bonus thing was in there? Give me a break somebody had to wright it! Bush let the problem go so long no one wants to be associated with the mess. Geithner didn't want the job. They can't get him any assistants because no one else wants the job either. Who would want that job? Again off the hate Bush bandwagon. Congress were the ones who told Fanny and Freddie to make toxic loans, not Bush. If Geithner didnt want the job then why didnt he say NO? Now wasnt that a republican congress? the last 3 have been majority dem. Barney Frank has been in their pocket for years and was the main one stoping republicans from putting more regulation on fanny and freddie. 110th-DEM 109th REP 108th-REP 107th-DEM 106th- |

didn't the DEMS have control for part of bush' presidency? 107th Congress (2001-2003) Majority Party (Jan 3-20, 2001): Democrat (50 seats) Minority Party: Republican (50 seats) Other Parties: 0 Total Seats: 100 ________ Majority Party (Jan 20-June 6, 2001): Republican (50 seats) Minority Party: Democrat (50 seats) Other Parties: 0 Total Seats: 100 ______ Majority Party (June 6, 2001-November 12, 2002 --): Democrat (50 seats) Minority Party: Republican (49 seats) Other Parties: 1 Total Seats: 100 _____ Majority Party (November 12, 2002 - January 3, 2003): Republican (50 seats) Minority Party: Democrat (48 seats) Other Parties: 2 Total Seats: 100 Note: From January 3 to January 20, 2001, with the Senate divided evenly between the two parties, the Democrats held the majority due to the deciding vote of outgoing Democratic Vice President Al Gore. Senator Thomas A. Daschle served as majority leader at that time. Beginning on January 20, 2001, Republican Vice President Richard Cheney held the deciding vote, giving the majority to the Republicans. Senator Trent Lott resumed his position as majority leader on that date. On May 24, 2001, Senator James Jeffords of Vermont announced his switch from Republican to Independent status, effective June 6, 2001. Jeffords announced that he would caucus with the Democrats, giving the Democrats a one-seat advantage, changing control of the Senate from the Republicans back to the Democrats. Senator Thomas A. Daschle again became majority leader on June 6, 2001. Senator Paul D. Wellstone (D-MN) died on October 25, 2002, and Independent Dean Barkley was appointed to fill the vacancy. The November 5, 2002 election brought to office elected Senator James Talent (R-MO), replacing appointed Senator Jean Carnahan (D-MO), shifting balance once again to the Republicans -- but no reorganization was completed at that time since the Senate was out of session. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 108th Congress (2003-2005) Majority Party: Republican (51 seats) Minority Party: Democrat (48 seats) Other Parties: Independent (1 seat) Total Seats: 100 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 109th Congress (2005-2007) Majority Party: Republican (55 seats) Minority Party: Democrat (44 seats) Other Parties: Independent (1 seat) Total Seats: 100 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 110th Congress (2007-2009) Majority Party: Democrat (49 seats) Minority Party: Republican (49 seats) Other Parties: 1Independent; 1 Independent Democrat Total Seats: 100 |

If you add in the # of so called "moderate conservatives" (liberals). You can swing it towards liberal. And I think President Bush worked more and listened to the "other side" than President Obama ever will (well he hasnt shown any incline on even the slightest in what conservatives have to say), JMO. |

I dont care who left the mess. Its left. I care about how its going to get fixed and focusing on I inherited these problems doesnt solve anything. Bushs name shouldnt be brought up in any conversation on fixing the problem wether he caused them or not. No matter who left the mess, it's not going to be fixed overnight. Or in a few months. |
