Also, I do believe the the Democrats were in total control of our country, via Congress and the Presidency for TWO years.
Are they blameless in your eyes?
And by total control, I mean the Republicans were powerless to stop whatever the Democrats wanted to do. They had a vote-proof majority.
Thank God that time is over.

While the Democrats had the majority for two years the Republicans used the FILIBUSTER over 90 times. The Republicans use the power of the filibuster.
The rules should not have applied to my post, it was an email that I received, but here it where the Michael Moore's Speech is.....

For the benefit of some that may not want to go to the website, I reposted the speech below:
Speech delivered at Wisconsin Capitol in Madison, March 5, 2011
America is not broke.
Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you'll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had,
America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
Today just 400 Americans have more wealth than half of all Americans combined.
