"Who has controlled the Congress since 2006? Who passes bills? Who appropriates money?"

Who dragged their feet when the Democrats even attempted in 2007 to do anything with the relatively slim majority they gained? The news...(*at least the news *I* watch*) was full of stories of the Republicans sabotaging every attempt to actually pass something! Just as they are voting close to 100% to keep anything meaningful from being done now!

They present no better plan, they just OPENLY talk of 'making Obama fail' so they can get back in power & return to "those hallowed days of yesteryear" where the rich get richer and the poor have no hope of health care.
