There is PLENTY of blame to go around starting with the House, the Senate and yes the President and some of us are willing to admit that, and others.......... well their only interest is in playing political games and yes, while Rome Burns.
The blame starts with the house? I'm sorry, but it's the President who resides over the executive branch, and he is supposed to unite the house and Senate. Consider Reid said he had no interest is seeing any bill brought before him by this house. In other words, he has no intention of allowing the government to work as it should. All this chaos is a result of having a weak a$$ Nixonian President, who is in over his head (Carter-like) and a partisan charged senate and house.

"Fundamental Transformation" was promised; sadly, that may be one of the few promises kept.

^His "pen and phone" are supposed to get him past that.

So where are the pen and phone now, with the border crisis?

Are we really supposed to be that stupid to fall for this "blame the GOP" excuse again? Let me guess, they "crashed" Lois Lerner's computer as well? Or was it that Bush who did it?

Nice try at spinning that, so who voted for Bush? Democrats? No, Republicans. And based on those two polls, they still love him more than ever.

Again, you call out spinning, while spinning your revised nonsense.

George W. Bush’s higher approval ratings: The former president’s legacy is looking more positive ahead of his presidential library opening, and some Republicans aren’t happy.

You should read that, and come to the understanding that far more Republicans disliked Bush than you believe. TARP was one thing that really pi$sed off conservatives. Obama doing three more versions only made them more angry.

I'd also say there are a high percentage of Democrats who hate Obama, however they can't openly admit it. You know, being from the party of tolerance and all.

Look at Biden, what did he do. He is a wonderful and caring person.

Thats not even close to being true.


Partisans' Historical Assessments of Obama, Bush Differ Most

Did some Republicans turn on Bush, sure, did a majority, NO!!!

To help clarify your point, before McCain was the (R) nominee, many a (D) liked him for reaching across the isle and doing bipartisan bills like McCain-Feingold. They even talked about his as a potential running mate for VP. Then when he later got the (R) nomination, they turned on him as if he was the worst guy walking the planet.

Also lets not forget about how they praised Romney when he was Governor of MA as a progressive, yet used lies and dirty tactics to try and destroy him well before the general election.

The hypocrisy has no limit with liberals.

Ah, I see the issue here, you think I am talking in absolutes. That is not the case, I am sure there are a few Republicans that don't like Bush, but the majority of Republicans have always liked Bush and still like Bush.

You can deny it all you want, but it is the truth.

There's no spin. You were the one contorting my words.

"Imagine the outrage from liberals.."
The right spends way too much time with "image the the outrage if.." fantasies.
