When Obama was in office with an all Dem Congress, they still blammed the minority Republicans for blocking what they really wanted to pass.
Yet when Bush had an all Dem Congress....well....all that legislation passed between 07-09 was all Bush's bad policies, not the Dems that had a big majority!
Double standards are a pillar of liberal faith.
It's laughable to entertain any notion that the Financial Crisis of '08 was due to bad policy in the Democratic controlled 110th Congress. Even a child's look at the facts shows that it was 100% due to the maladministration of arguably the worst President in the history of the USA and a trio of Republican Congresses (107-109) so inept that it's much easier to remember their gay sex scandals than any good they may have done.
It's easy to see that the 110th Congress made some moves in the right direction but it was too little too late. By the time Obama came in the crisis was already in full swing. In some ways now we're seeing some daylight - but I see no reason. None whatsoever. Absolutely zilch - to think that John McCain would have handled the situation better than Obama has.
Alot of people don't realize that our Democracy doesn't allow you to vote against a candidate.
The biggest culprit was Barney Frank and government forced mandates onto banks.
Repubs actually did try to change it in 2003, but guess who put up a big stink and cried about it?
