Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Did the Republicans really control government for the last eight years? I thought the Republicans had control of the house for only the first six of those eight years, the senate for four. But over and over again, I hear phrases about Republican control for the "last eight years." And how is it so many in the media and the democrats get away with pointing all the blame for the economic meltdown at Bush? Before the democrats took control of congress in 2006, unemployment was at 4.5 percent and consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high. What changed? I was just chatting with a guy who told me that he had to sell his boat last summer.... BECAUSE OF BUSH. BUSH DID NOT MAKE HIM SELL HIS BOAT!!! Good grief.

pBills Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Depends on when the banks ask for their next trillion or two. And then do nothing with it again... except for a few banks of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drnykterstein Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Ya it was six. Why, is that a short amount of time? Not to mention Bush really put that veto pen to work the last two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I look forward to 2017 when the OP is on here pleading for us to give Repubs more of the blame for Obama's last eight years. (Hopefully the robots will not have risen up and taken over before then.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Ya it was six. Why, is that a short amount of time? Not to mention Bush really put that veto pen to work the last two years. Only 12 bills vetoed in eight years, the fewest of any modern president, and four of them overridden. Yep, everything is his fault alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
