Yes, since January 2007 the democrats have pretty much controlled government. Sure Bush could ask for things and veto from 2007-Jan 2009, but the democrats surely could SAY FUCK YOU TO HIM TO. A president can do quite a let, so Bush earned some scorn, but a lot of the increase of spending and bs started to happen in 2007.
Remember when republicans out right controlled the government between 2001-2006 unemployment was 4.3-6 percent. Only got 6 percent because of 9-11 too. Spending wasn't even a third with the deficit. Things started to go to hell when the demorats got a hold of the purse strings.
Right now sure you have one house of congress under republican control, but the other is not. So the republicans don't have a lot of say anyways, but they do have some now as they're pushing for cuts! But remember Obama can veto anything that somehow got through the senate.
Can't really blame the republicans for the mess.
I can. I blame the Republicans.... difference is, I equally blame the Democrats. Fucking corrupt bastards - the whole bunch of 'em.
No question at all that they're both corrupt and evil. Bush fucked up giving trillions to wall street and the banks...Obama just made it much worst.
And.... listening to his jobs speech... he's hoping to do some more damage as soon as possible.
