RE:"In this case the D's did the damage. Obamacare is 100% "D"estruction." That and bailing the (especially the public ones) unions plus most of the stimulus going to prop up government bloat created during the bubble. OTOH, some think these are noteworthy accomplishments.

It's no worse than what Bush Jr did with his unfunded Medicare Prescription Drug plan, two unfunded wars, and two unfunded tax cuts. Now it's the Dems turn to push our economy further into the hole. They've all gone off the deep end. Btw, did you hear that Gingrich is starting to get serious about running for President? He may very well be the last fiscal conservative alive, besides Ron Paul. And I'd give Gingrich a very good chance of winning if the economy is still ugly in 2012. Since I've given up on the Dems giving me a renewable energy revolution, which was my number 1 priority, I'll vote the next time around for fiscal sanity. Maybe Gingrich is the man to get us there. He and Clinton did an excellent job on our budget in the 90s. I'd love a repeat of that.
