The first 6 of the past 8 years (and 2 years previously for a total of eight) BOTH houses of congress (the Senate and the House of Representatives) have had a Republican majority.

This links to all the US Congresses in history

106th Congress Jan 1999 - Jan 2001 (last 2 years of Clinton's Presidency) Both houses have Republican majority.

God knows there is enough blame to go around but I am a stickler for trying to get the facts straight rather than an emotional response.
Well, I didn't want to get into a whole big thing, but Obama might be a nice person. I just don't agree with his philosophies. I don't want my taxes raised through the roof, we're being killed by our taxes. I want all the spending stopped especially all the pork barrel crap. If I don't have the money to pay for something, I don't buy it. I wish they would balance their checkbook like I do, but they don't. They just spend,spend,spend. The other thing is I don't care for the people he associates himself with. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Another saying, birds of a feather, flock together. I also don't think he has enough experience to be president. He wasn't even a senator very l ong. The economy crap going on I feel is the fault of the people I mentioned above. In 2005, the repubs wanted Fannie and Freddie checked and audited. the Dems said everything was fine and voted no. Then when they got in power, all hell broke loose. They told banks to give mortgages out without even downpayments or jobs, or money saved etc. Franks,Reid, Pelosi,Dodd and all these corrupt CEo's created the mess we have today. There's plenty blame to go around, but these are the worst. That's just my opinion,Which we have the right to have. I don't like the direction left liberals have toward socialism.
