Right. His party controlled everything for 2 years, there was literally nothing the Republicans could do to stop anything. And Obama's one significant legislative achievement was a healthcare reform that the vast majority of Americans did not want. And it's likely soon to be deemed illegal by the Supreme Court.

That's some record of accomplishments. His one noteworthy proposal will likely be deemed illegal this summer. As an aside, the timing of that will be awful for him. The decision will be abbounced in June, right around the time gas here (can't imagine what you pay) hits $5 a gallon.

I cannot understand how someone like Spence, who clearly understands the mathematics of the debt, can side with the liberals on this. It's stupifying. Liberals make some good points on some issues (gun control and gay marriage in my opinion), but on the federal debt, they could not be doing more damage to our country if they were paid Al Queda agents. Their behavior is mind-boggling. If they proposed solutions, I would listen hopefully. Butthey don't, all they do is attack character. That doesn't help.

We are in the high speed lane of The Road to Serfdom. Read Hayek, we are following many of the same policies that failed for the National Socialists..
