I laugh when someone says “the last eight years”. It is so burned in their brains they don’t realize those eight years ended nearly a year and a half ago. I have heard more frequent use of “the past administration” and even that sets off my giggle button.
It's the new stupid shorthand. They say it and they mean "the last eight-year term of George Bush" or they're still locked into thinking it's the campaign. It's ALWAYS campaign time for these people.
I'm seriously thinking of simply stopping to follow politics. Toss out the books, stop going online. It's madness, and life's too short for dealing with such IDIOTS.
Not only that, but the Dems have owned Congress since 2006, and their actions spurred the Recession. I think they intentionally attempted to trash the Economy (Schumer starting a run on IndyMac; Pelosi's comments causing a spike in Energy costs) just to win the Executive Branch ... and their own natural incompetence and love for Big Government spending caused the descent into a Depression.
These clowns have inflicted their pain on us for Four Years. God Willing a good number get flushed in November.
