Democratic National Convention 2012

[Hoss]

LOL!  Exfreekinzactly!

Except for maybe actually including the wars in the budget?

You're right, although a budget would have to be actually passed for comparison sake.

Obstructionism.  Let's remember McConnell's remarks.

It would need to be drafted first, then scored by the CBO without uncontrollable laughter.

2009 & 2010?

[Hoss]

2009 & 2010?

You heard of the filibuster?  Obviously not.

Different eras. Different administrations. Different parties. Different Congress. Different personalities. Different crises. Different economies. One would think the policies had to be different. But no. That wouldn't make sense. Truthfully, our government is a huge ship and it turns slowly. Some policies simply remain the same even when there isn't a Congress who defies leadership and obligation to its people.

And if you loved Bush, well you must be ecstatic about Obama. Or at least able to justify his behavior like you guys do for W.

I wonder what the difference is? Oh, yeah, ODS. Manifests itself in so many ways.

Which budget did they filibuster again?

The federal government is slow by design. Think what would happen if things were quick and easy. Mob rule is not a pretty thing.

Who on this board loved Bush again? Oh, "them".

Who on this board loved Bush again?

Just about everybody aside from the usual suspects, at least until about June or July 2008. I believe the old threads still exist.

There were lots of people on this board into late summer '08 claiming the economy was just fine and Obama was being hysterical about the economy. If anything Obama underestimated how bad it was.
