So Bu$h II had a mandate w/ his slim victory in '04 but the current President doesn't because he's from a different party? Got it
Reminder: Obama specifically ran on raises taxes TO THEIR PRIOR LEVELS and he won reelection. He has since negotiated down but the Stonewallers (Repubs) are relentless in their..... well.....stonewalling.
I call Shenanigans.
Please provide evidence that the GOP claimed a mandate in 2004.
If anything, Bush reached out to the Dems and literally begged for cooperation to deal with Social Security. But I doubt a sad hack like you recalls that.
Try 2010. Did they not claim a mandate then, in spite of the fact that they won control of only one House?
Do you understand the difference between the Presidency and the House of Representatives?
Clearly not.
You also don't realize that Obama, not Bush, was President in 2010...but given how Obama continues to blame everything on Bush, your confusion on that point is somewhat understandable.
