True, I cant tell you how many posters here will tell you that the Congress is GOP controlled, because the Senate, isnt part of Congress..

I would suggest you read up about Ron Paul and you will see this was foretold by him a while back.

I know all about him!

When your platform on 2008 was "the Bush administration sucked", you better be prepared to own your own administration.

My God - if they just cut it back to 2008 levels, we'd be better off.

Yes, they have rung up their fair share at the register but a tremendous amount was also inherited.
That is such BS!!! Most of these old codgers in Washington have been around for 30+ years in US politics. They didn't inherit most of these problems they created most of them. I'm sure McCain thanks to the idiots in AZ we will probably be saying the same thing about him in 20 years. I wish he would jump off a cliff and do the world a favor. Pathetic we have people like him running this country. He can tie himself to Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein as well. Liberals and Conservatives......doesn't matter anymore.

I feel sorry for all those who couldn't retire in 2008 with the crash.... now we don't know when they are going to be able to retire.... like some other lady said to Obama... "Is this my new reality?"... Thanks Obama...
