Thanks
It was simple for me. They were hold-overs from GWB era. They helped get Republican votes for TARP and other liberal compromise bills with Pelosi. They were in leadership during 2008 Democrat congressional victories and their team's losses. It made no sense at all to keep them in those positions if Republicans really changed as they claimed in 2009.
So they stay in charge to argue against all the things they were for when GWB was POTUS?? It was stupidity and just gave Obama another political argument to use against Republicans. This is a failure for sure.
