W may have been able to do more- but when we put Republicans in both houses and they did not live up to our expectations either- the blame can’t be put all on Bush.
Fully agree. What we're seeing tonight is just a continuation and culmination of the process that began when the Reps had Congress and the Presidency and governed as if they were Dems in many ways (Spending, Gang of 14, etc.)
Again, many, many opportunities squandered IMO.
