    Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Bush have a majority Congress his first 6 years? Again, I know many are at fault including some idiots on the DEM side so he doesn't get all the blame but some pretty negative events occurred under his watch and that is inescapable.

    Negative events happen on everybody's watch and his presidency ended poorly, I don't dispute that.....the point of contention is that Bush is responsible for all that is evil in our world......credit crunch, collapse of the domestic auto industry, Detroit real estate, state of the healthcare system, acid rain, solar eclipse, swine flu, the original Ponzi scheme, Halle's comet, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc......

    MCG, those that may remember Harry Truman, he left office as extremely unpopular. However history has moved him up to a place of pretty high esteem as he was understood better.

    I won't live long enough to see it, but that could well happen to Bush's reputation.

    Interesting that your would use talking heads to represent what is bad with the Republicans but used a real live Democratic politician to represent what's bad with the Dems.

    I agree Pelosi is horrible, Reid is on the same level and they are Democrats not talking heads.
