I don't understand. The Democrats have only been in charge since January of last year. Bush had 6 years of Republican complicity in his "war on...". The damage was already done when the Democrats came to power
Are you saying that the Democrats should give Bush whatever he wants (just like the Republicans? - look how well that worked) & if not then they are playing politics? Congress' approval rating was only a little above Bushes when the Democrats took over. It dropped further because people voted them in to change things then (due to the political process) nothing did. People fail to realize that without working together neither branch can accomplish anything. Bush's refusal to admit mistakes makes it very difficult to work with him on anything, so nothing changes.quote]
Wrong. The founding fathers made sure that the power lied with the people, or the ones most closely representing them, their elected congressmen. They pass the laws, and if the president doesn't like the law and vetos it, they can override. It makes it harder, but the power still lies with the congress.
