I agree with you. It is a collective effort, yet each side slips up and tries to blame an individual...

News headline from October 2002
In a major victory for the White House, the Senate early Friday voted 77-23 to authorize President Bush to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein refuses to give up weapons of mass destruction as required by U.N. resolutions.

Hours earlier, the House approved an identical resolution, 296-133.

The war was a collective effort.

I have not heard you say anything about Bush having driven this country so deep down into a hole by fighting two wars on credit and looting the Treasury through tax breaks to the rich etc. etc.

And then, I have not heard you say anything about Bush having driven this country so deep down into a hole by fighting two wars on credit and looting the Treasury through tax breaks to the rich etc. etc. But most of all, you do not suggest any solution.

What! You have not heard me say anything about Bush? That's ridiculous, Chinu. I spent 5 years doing nothing on SI but bitching about all the failures of Bush Jr. I voted for Kerry and then for Obama.

But what you guys need to realize is that I will complain about ANYONE who is doing the wrong things. Obama is no exception. I'm not an idol worshiper. I voted for Obama because I thought he'd be different. He turned out to be more of the same.

It is not about Democrats or Republicans all the time. It is about us saving this country for the next generation.

You are right about that. I've said much the same in my posts.

Let us have some sensible discussions and exchange of ideas here instead of one based on one liner excitables from politicians.

If you think all I have for you are one liners, you need to go back through all my posts. I post in an excruciating amount of detail exactly why I think Obama and the Dems are killing this economy with Keynesianism and I also expound on what I think we should do differently.
