See that is what I am saying. A very near sighted comment and here is why.
1. You state that congress has been controlled for the past 2 years by liberals. So what happens with that? Well, it puts a cowboy (GW) and the liberal congress at odds. It is what is called a dead lock. Anything that came out of congress was vetoed, threatened to be vetoed, or otherwise changed so much that any bill/law/change didn't stand a chance. That is what happens with a cowboy in office who thinks they are above the system.
2. GW had a rubber stamp congress for SIX years!! Why does everyone forget this???????? We are paying for the 6 years of rubber stamps right now! GW had it his way for six years and left us in a terrible mess. So a rubber stamp congress, or "political capital" was the exact term he used, has lead us to where we are today.
3. GW approval ratings were higher and lower than Mr. Truman. GW has swung much further in both directions. GW approval has plummeted over the last couple years. I wonder why?
I'm not hating, i am saying GW had his chance and he F'd up. Plain and simple. He was a bad bad choice for a president. A president who squandered all "political capital" and has left us where we are at. You can blame the congress for the last two years, but that doesn't change the facts. Stop hating and give someone else a chance. At this point Chucky Cheese is a better candidate over anyone from the Bush regime.
