If I hear the word “inherit” one more time out of these stooges I think my head is going to explode. Dingy Harry and Princess Pelosi have controlled Congress since 2006 and our community organizer/beer summit specialist is really doing a bang up job. How long will it take before the American public wakes up to realize the people they elected to run this country are actually running it into the ground?

Democrats have
controlled Congress
for 853 days so far.
To: library user
Actually, it’s 940 days. I had my wires crossed.
To: ianschwartz
ROFL
For almost the entire Bush presidency the economy roared along with unemployment around 5%. Even 9-11 couldn't stop the economic boom.
It only took a year though after the democrats took control of congress for things to start to fall apart. And now they want to try to blame Bush.
ROFL

As he announces an improvement in the GDP decline, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland) reminds everyone that once President Obama took office, Congress "confronted the worst economy this coutnry had seen in 75 year. That was the legacy that we inherited."Well, Mr. Hoyer, that is quite a statement! Can you provide any information or enlightenment to support such a bold assertion? It seems to me that the Democrats have had the principal role in the destruction of our economy, each and every single time it happens. Generally speaking, the Democrats are clueless on how the economy works, how the tax burden destroys prosperity, the time lag between increased or decreased taxes and the effect on the economy, and the basic economic principles relating to supply and demand.
Of course you do not have to worry yourself about such, given that the Marxists have dumbed down the population, and given that you have a government controlled media (like Pravda) at your disposal, and given that the country has been taken over by the many that benefit from all the freebies handed out. You will all be sure to make the successful and prosperous work harder so they can pay more taxes so you can "buy" more votes.
But with your dim-wittedness you do not see the train wreck coming when your socialism fails again, as it has 100% of the time it has been forced upon the people.

I would say it’s the Pelosi legacy. She’s been speaker since Jan. 2007, almost a year before the recession began. She promised a rose garden, and things went south right after she was sworn in.
To: geo40xyz
I live in Maryland and I can say without doubt that telling Hoyer anything is very difficult.
We send him emails he ignores ,and calls his staff answers ,but he doesnt bother to listen.
He has his head stuffed up Nancy Pelosi’s backside so far he cannot, or doesnt care to hear.
Steny Hoyer is a party hack. Plain and simple.
He does what the party says to do and not what his constituents want.

From the video I saw of Steny yesterday, his pants were smoking and about to burst into flame
I highly encourage the democrats to keep running against George Bush, all the way to the 2010/2012 elections.
Bring it.

Hoyer neglects to mention the role of Congress in forcing financial institutions to make bad home loans, and avoiding the risks taken by financial institutions in general.

“That was the legacy that we inherited.”
How many years has Hoyer been in Congress? And two years in his present leadership position? Liberals never take responsibility for anything. They screw something up, and then go blithely on to their next mistake.
