Well, here is the thing, even if we can maintain a slim filibuster proof minority (it pains me to type that), Incoming Presidents legitimately have a 100 day window to pass legislation.
When the the new Congress is sworn in this spring, we will be in serious, serious trouble, we have a bucket of cod liver oil that we will have to drink down to the dregs, there is no way around it.
It’s bitter here goldstategop, I’m darn angry with GWB at the moment, seriously angry.
No, they don't. If legislation is BAD, it must be fought. The Democrats certainly didn't give George W. Bush any kind of honeymoon, and Obama didn't win with that many more votes than did Pres. Bush, the media cheerleading notwithstanding.
