LOL. So dramatic.

Seriously, though, I think you're going to be disappointed if you believe that things are really going to change under a Republican House.

If the Republicans do not try to stop Obama's agenda then we need to replace them with more conservative Reps...not the type that want to go along to get along. Just because nothing normally changes doesn't mean it always has to be that way. The key is more ideological purity. If I was a liberal I would feel the same way. Moderates= nothing changes.

Things wil have to change in general,we might be looking into an austerity program eventually like the UK has. With Bush Jr. the US made quite a few misteps and then the pendulum took a hard left with Obama.

The change will start with gridlock and that will eventually have to give way to something different as thing aren't working for Main St. Americans as they are now. Both parties need some new blood as the carreer politicians have gotten too comfortable.

With 2 wars ongoing,Iran and N. Korea ,and the ever growing deficit Change will be forced. If the Republicans coming in won't do it,then they'll be replaced just like they replaced those before them. Fluff speaches from this Administration are just as Ridiculous as Bush Jr. was when he announced victory in Iraq dreesed in his pilot's uniform.

You're going to be disappointed.
Earmarks abolished? Line item veto's? How about holding themselves to paygo rules? How about all that campaign money sent back and just run on straightforward platforms? Nah, faux republicans would prefer to maintain their banana republic regime inperpetuity.

Who knows- maybe Nigeria actually does have a more honest business climate than USA.

It was easy for Obama to criticize Bush when Obama was a candidate. AFter Obama actually won the election and started recievind intelligence updates, he probably realized, that it wasn't so simple to just pull troops out of the two wars that he so vocally blamed Bush for getting into.

So we learn from this.....“It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; Who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.â€

In the rearview mrror, Bush even with all his faults, is looking better and better isn't he??

I agree with Burdell. The regimes of either Bush have not looked better over the years. Both were plutocrats that spend vast amounts of taxpayer money making their fellow uber wealthy richer than ever. The Shrub was inadvertently correct when he made the remark "My constituents, the Haves and Have Mores." Out of the mouths of idiots.

Our Country, along with a large number of Americans, is effectively broke. We do not have the income or the credit to keep purchasing more and more new items. We do not even have enough income to keep our houses. The country does not have enough to pay for the luxuries of war and cannot borrow any more. We cannot operate a FIRE (Finance, Investment and Real Estate) any longer. Even if this is reality the people, Bush Sr. amongst others that started this FIRE do not know how to put it out without sustaining tremendous losses to themselves. The result is they keep throwing more and more money on the fire even though it had run out of fuel.

We can reverse this depression by a complete retrenchment of current policies. We need to stop off shoring industry, stop investing overseas, stop importing petroleum and most of all, stop financing and fighting the worlds’ wars. We need to restart our domestic wealth creation by rebuilding our industries, our transport and our energy economy to reduce or eliminate our imports of petroleum. These actions may depress the markets as they absorb the losses their recent speculations have created but, as we recover our own wealth creation, they will wind up more prosperous than ever.

I think it obvious that if the Democrats had delivered on what they promised then so many of them would not have been fired. They didn't listen to the people, they ignored the lesson of what happened to the republicans in 2006 and again in 2008.
We are in 2 wars. Wars that the majority in both parties whole heartedly supported, I might add.
The dems love to blame Bush for the Tarp bill. But who wrote it and passed it?
The Dems wrote a lousy health care bill. The majority didn't even know what it contained, simply voted for it. A lot like that TARP bill.
The bail out laced with pork. Some us think the only ones who made out on that deal were the guys that own the companys that make the signs that say Paid for by the stimulous package.
Illegal immigration. The Dems answer is an amnesty. Did we learn nothing from the last time we did that? Pelosi says its unamerican to enforce our laws. They say our system is broken. We make it too difficult. Forget the fact that the USA allows more immigration than all other nations combined. No whats broken is that we don't enforce our laws and hold the violators accountable.
Obama's aunt an illegal in violation of deportation orders, wrongfully living in low income housing, is given a free pass.
The Dems got fired because they ignore the people in favor of their agenda. The republicans were fired for the same reason in 2006 and 2008. They will be fired in 2012 if they have failed to learn.

Nothing is going to happen.

All the Republican's want is to give the Rich Tax breaks. Any other proposal that will be beneficial to our country will be shot down, Unless a Republican thought of it. The Republican's don't have a clue how to fix our economy, if they did they would have done it when Bush was running the country.

I can't wait to see what they do in 2011. Then the Independants and the Right leaning Lefties will see how pathetic that party is.

The Party of No.
