The fools too. Don't forget them -- fools that thought it was great to buy cheap foreign made cars, wear cheap foreign made clothes, import cheap foreign grown food, buy all the big screen foreign made televisions and import unlimited numbers of cheap foreign workers for cheap servants and factory workers, and didn't vote responsibly.

How can anyone really be surprised when they check out the labels and boxes with all the "Made in China, Hecho en Mexico, Produced in Indonesia" and find there is no one hiring.

Not saying that's the case but maybe you should think about it.

Whoa ShadowCaver! Don't go posting articles that argue against the left's religion.

do you always miss the point of a post? i guess when you don't have a valid response to a position the next best technique is diversion......

that is okay since the democrats have been in charge for about 3 years in congress and nothing of substance to benefit americans has been accomplished. people are noticing this now with or without diversions!
.................................................. ..............................................

You know, this is just silly. Where have you been since 2001?

Let's review things ok?

1. 2001-2003. Bush is President. The GOP has a majority in the House of Representatives. After Jim Jeffords of Vermont switches his party affiliation in June, the dems have a 1 vote majority in the Senate.

2. 2003-2007. Bush is President. The GOP has sizeable majorities in both the House and Senate.

3. 2007-2009. Bush is President. The dems have a 1 vote majority in the Senate and about a 15 vote majority in the House.

4. 2009 - Present (or 10 months). Obama is President. The dems control the senate 60-40 and the House by over 50 votes.

I guess if "being in charge" means the democrats rule with a one vote margin, you are technically correct. In reality, it takes a sizeable majority to get anything done in the Senate at all because of features such as the "filibuster rule".

The reality is that Bush and the GOP "own" most of our current problems despite denials from David Boehner and Mitch McConnell. Any honest observer of current events can figure that one out.

Bush & Clinton gave those big businesses & banks too much freedom.
This was just like giving a child a blank check.

That's what lead most citizens into to debt & the US into a deep recession, which will take a while to clean up.

Everyone needs to be patient & stop pointing fingers at the current president.
