I will give you 6 months, and if we do not see a marked change in the economy, unemployment, and tax relief, you have FAILED your supporters.
I expect a bonus check from Boehner before the holidays.

If he could pass out bonus checks to big tobacco backers on the house floor, then he can send them to us taxpayers.

SO basically what you are saying is that.....

1) You wish that Bill Clinton had never left office
2) You wish that George W Bush had never been "selected" as President
3) You wish that the years 2001-2009 (aka the Republican administration of George W Bush) had never taken place
4) So you basically want the benefits of a Democratic Presidency....and yet you think that the Republicans have the answer. Wow...just...wow

Hahaha, that is what they've been obliquely promising, isn't it? I hope all the R voters expect this.

The Repub fix is, and only has been, get rid of Obama. Nothing else matters. Now they control the House. They will generate a bunch of bills which would do virtually nothing to help people, well except a very select few, send them to the Senate. Their hope would be that the Senate passes them and the Pres has to veto. So, for 2012 they can campaign on the Pres veto of everything they try to do. The reality is, the Senate hasn't changed, it will still be in a lockup, so not that many vetoes will result. The object of the Repubs is simple. Not helping Americans, is good for GOP politics, since the Americans that need the help is only about 20% and not likely Repub voters anyway. It worked this election, they think it will work for the next election. They could be right.

None of the above can be done until after 2012 when Obama is booted from office and the GOP gets a veto-proof majority in the Senate.
