You're forgetting there are two houses of Congress. The republicans controlled the House and the democrats controlled the Senate.
The republicans haven't used their power and the white house hasn't fought back effectively.
We will all pay the price now.
War is coming...and I don't mean a police action in Afghanistan or Iraq.
I mean a WORLD WAR.
Let the Democrats be at the wheel for a time...they will be condemned at the ballot box for a generation or more.
