You claimed in your opening post that Republicans controlled Congress when 0bama assumed control of the White House. I say that you are wrong. Democrats have controlled Congress from 2006 to the present time. Yet, you continue to refuse to admit that you were wrong.

So, how is the basic fact of which party controlled Congress when 0bama took office not in dispute?

You need to start doing your research before you start a new thread and at least make an effort to base your arguments on facts rather than fiction.

If you are unwilling to admit a mistake that is very evident by casual examination of the public record, then why should anybody engage you in debate? Character matters.

If you are suggesting that Democrats (majority 2006) were to "blame" for the economic mess of Bush policies (primarily two simultaneous wars with NO call to sacrifice, while maintaining tax cuts), then your political acumen matters. Frankly, I did NOT mean to imply that Republicans were primarily to blame, nor even the Bush administration, but rather a certain hysteria and rush to judgement that followed 9/11. Acument matters, Hoot.
