Why are we in such bad shape, economic-wise? Why is gas so high? Why does food cost so much? Why am I overweight? Why do the breaks on my car make a squealing sound when applied? What is the reason for all of my woes? That’s easy. Democrats took control of Congress back in 2006. That’s why!

The old republican deflection ploy. Squat, take a big shit, then point a finger at someone else.

Bush pushes Congress to move on farm legislation, housing

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush said Tuesday that Congress is blocking his proposals to deal with high gas prices and dragging its feet on other issues to address the nation’s sagging economy. He said he was open to any idea in terms of energy, including a proposal backed by John McCain and Hillary Clinton to suspend gas and diesel taxes this summer.

But, he said, he favored longer-term fixes, such as encouraging new oil production in the United States and the building of new refineries.

“It’s a tough time for our economy,” Bush said at a Rose Garden news conference. “Across our country, many Americans are understandably anxious about issues affecting their pocketbook, from gas and food prices to mortgage and tuition bills. They’re looking to their elected leaders in Congress for action.

“Unfortunately, on many of these issues, all they’re getting is delay,” he said.

Bush: “They’re looking to their elected leaders in Congress for action.”

Yes, we are! So get the hell out of the way, and tell your fellow republican goons to knock it off with the threats of filibuster, and maybe democrats can then start cleaning up the seven-and-a-half years of GOP poop that’s been smeared upon us.
