Grading Congress: 'Do Nothing' or 'Done Too Much?'

Well you may be correct that Americans see and hear only what they want, but that is equally true of both parties. Dems have spent the last 10-years attacking and blaming Bush 24/7, yet now expect nothing but respect and praise for Obama? That's both hypocritical and unrealistic, to say the least. And I wonder, do you think it is appropriate for any member of the WH and Congress to call Americans who disagree with them names, at anytime for any reason? I have certainly never seen this happen before this president and this current Dem Congress. PS. I am an Independent who strongly supported both Clintons for office.

You give this Dem Congress far too little credit. They have done plenty... unfortunately all bad. They continue to drive America further into a ditch of one-solution fits all spending, failing to create jobs, and failing to stimulate anything other than America's debt.

Well said Nianxi! The time for hope and change has turned out to be a Dope and big bucks from each of us. What a disappointment Obama and my former "Party" have been! Let's hope they don't pass a bunch of rediculous legislation immediately after the election that will do nothing but keep us out of work and cost us more money.

the TARP was one of Bush's worst mistakes. He made it even worse by turning it over to Obama, who rather than buy up depressed mortages like it was intended, gave it to wallstreet and the banks. The banks and wallstreet firms used it to give their exes huge bonuses. Obama acted mad that it went to bonuses, but he is the one that had Cris Dodd take the provision out of the bill forbiding firms taking the bail out from giving bonuses. Wake up! Why do you think wallstreet supported his campaign? The wallstreeters are all demos look at chelsey! look at who she married! what a rediculously expensive wedding. If the clintons really "felt your pain" why don't they spend some of their 100s of millions on helping people? like the Mccains?
