so Obama doesn’t look good
what can the republicans in congress due to make the recession last longer an crush our ecnomoy under obama more?
Filibuster like the 300 other times.
Bill Clinton balanced the budget, got the American economy back in order, and even ran budget surpluses. The country prospered, until another Republican president came along and started growing record deficits again. This time we were told: "Deficits don’t matter." Of course, they do matter if the president is a Democrat… Republicans are funny creatures: ignorant, dishonest, a lot of them downright stupid. Also Republican Congress give Clinton a trade status with China because Cons forced him it’s good for the economy.
yes? No? i’m talking about Republican leaders.
Republicans were in charge of the House when Clinton had his surplus. It is the House where all spending bills originate. As you can look up, it was a republican president but a democrat led House when the deficits rose so high.
Obama gets so much blame for the economy now because for two out of the three years he has been in office, the democrats were in charge of the House, Senate and White House.
Why did Republican Congress deregulate the economy by removing the Glass-Segall act of 1933 and not to mention that Republican made up the majority of the coalition to sign the NAFTA. They also made Clinton signed the Chinese-USA agreement so why blame in Clinton.
oh no yes i am doing fine on your behalf, please stop trolling.
"They Made Clinton" Yes I too remember seeing that gun to his head being held by that rather shady looking elephant. The answer to your question requires me to explain how both Democrat and Republican representatives by and large sell out to the Mega Corporations. They are puppets using social issues as a distraction. However, for you to understand this you have to stop living in this false left vs right world.
This doesn’t make sense, how does it make sense to have a Congress that approves everything be Republican when the Present isn’t? They are the group that passes everything onto the president and approves subjects, how does this work?
A President can also veto bills.
The point is supposed to be a balance of power. The trouble is, the GOP tends to see "compromise" as "do it my way or else." President Obama needs to stop treating the GOP as reasonable people. They are not. They are trying to destroy the Constitution.
Since the elections are finally over and Obama is still in the White House, do you believe Congress and Republicans will stop hindering the country and actually work with our president to fix the nation?
Well no because he is president of the obama glee club now and out of a position of authority.
It’s not really a fair question. Congress has never been popular. The old rule is that everyone hates Congress but loves their own congressman. Most congressmen run against Congress! "Congress is corrupt! Elect me and I’ll clean it up, single-handedly!"
One reason Congress is so unpopular today is because Tea Party voters are seeing that the fiery Tea Party candidates they voted for in 2010 all turned out to be just regular business-as-usual Republicans once in office.
Is the Republican Congress resistant because Aristocratic elites are afraid of further tax burdens? AND In a sense, have the Republican Congress all lined up for a firing squad if they do not come through and resist the Democrat Change?
What Republican congress?
Last time I checked in 2011, the Republicans controlled slightly more then one half of one third of congress.
Democrats control the Senate and the presidency.
Now you are correct if the current Republicans do not stand up for the non-union private sector employee, and stop this government deficit spending there will be blood and the TEA Party will eliminate the bad Republicans.
I think any Republican voting to raise the debt ceiling next month will not be re-elected.
They are big on saying the Anerican people dont want this or that when in fact the people do want the wealthy 1% to share in the burden of the economy and they do want the jobs act bill to pass because unlike the republicans in the Congress have jobs they do not.

The membership of NATO and the UN runs through congress and Mrs C has got the job of looking after that with her minimums. The head of State the President is the Big Ambassador the rest of the world though. Details are below.

"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money." — Alexis de Tocqueville
‘The goal of the liberals as it emerges from the record of the past decades was to smuggle this country into welfare statism by means of single, concrete, specific measures, enlarging the power of the government a step at a time, never permitting these steps to be summed up into principles, never permitting their direction to be identified or the basic issue to be named. Thus, statism was to come, not by vote or by violence, but by slow rot by a long process of evasion and epistemological corruption, leading to a fait accompli.’
