Does anyone remember growing up in school and knowing the kid in class that knew everyting and worked hard to out due everyone. He wasn't necessariy rich or poor. But lived the American dream and earned it everyday. It is worth something to me to be an American and I don't feel Mr.Bush knows that. He will never escape the middle class, the true heart of this country, who work for it everyday bleeding in Iraq.

We, the people have to remove the Republicans from office, one by one. Then we need to convict Bush and Cheney as war criminals. We were lied to from the beginning for the reasons for going to war. It is so sad that we have lost so many of our great soldiers and so many families destroyed. We have destroyed a country and its citizens, they will never lead a normal life, terrorist have taken over there and it is our fault. We must stop this insanity, bring our soldiers home and rebuild our country with the money that is being wasted on a war that we should have never started. Use our money to protect us and our citizens, give everyone health care. It is time that we take care of our own!!

It amazes me to hear Bush critizing the democratic lead congress for not doing anything in the 9 months that they have had control of congress. What did the republicans accomplish in the 6 years they had control under Bush? Bush never vetoed one bill under the republican control congress and now that the democrats are in control he finds it necessay to veto everything. Bush is a disgrace to this country and the sad thing about it is he still has 15 more months left to do even more damage. I just don't understand how so many millions of americans could have been so blind and naive to vote for a dumb, arrogant jerk who can't put together a complete sentence. Bush has done so much damage to this country that it will take several decades to recover from.

Well yes. It also doesn't help that Senate republicans are filibustering everything, and Bush vetos anything that gets past their filibuster.

It's hard for the democrats to get much done when the republicans obstruct everything they're doing.

Have you been living in a cave? Have you seen what the democrats have been doing over the course of the last 6 yrs? They were the ones who obstructed and now they are getting some of their own medicine and lets face it Harry and Nancy are two of the most incomptent leaders ever in the congress. Democrats couldnt tie their shoes and walk at the same time.

Every clear thinking American who hears this President speak on any subject can place the blame on him. He has obstructed every good piece of advice he has received in the past 7 years. His administration is a mess and God help any one who is elected to clear up the mess. The partisanship is the worst in history – at least in my lifetime – and he is the root cause of it. Those idiots in Congress who rubber-stamp everything he wants should be voted out this next election be they Republican or Democrat. Let us clear the House and Senate of Bushies....Mary Newlon

Pathetic. After 6 years of rubber stamp, do nothing republican congress this poor sap doesn't know how to pass legislation. For one thing it is NOT congress's job to kiss his hiney. And for another this congress has in 9 months eclipsed everything the lollygaggers of the previous congress did in 6 years.
If he really cared he would prod his OWN party to quit being obstructionists and find ways to work with the majority for the good of the country.

I believe that senators need supervision and some authority to be held accountable to, which might have stopped this childish behavior and saved this congress. However, the age bracket of most of these people is far, far too old to be beneficial to the congress or anyone else for that matter. Most of these people sleep through the day and are there primarily for the perks and little else. A mandatory age for retirement is needed.

Michael..Don't worry about Congress they will be doing just fine. If the moron won't stop the war they are. Try watching the news and read between the lines. Futhermore that beady eyed Bush is going to be tried for war crimes once he is out of office. Also we get almost all our products from China and the way things are heading if China refused to import stuff to us we would be in BIG trouble. This country is a mess because of Bush and the Pubs and people I talk to can't stand the Pubs.

Heck of a Job Bushie!

1 US Dollar = 1.05075 Euro

Thursday, October 18, 2007

1 US Dollar = 0.70513 Euro

Well the congress has been a failure.

They are not willing to comprimise

i stopped listening to him 2 years ago,i got home turn the tv on and he was talking about world war 3 he scares me ...so i turn the channell
but now his comments are over the news,why cant they impeach him...his runing us into the ground more and more,now with these comments from him.I know we have to have more democrats elected to Congress.the one in there now follow him like a puppie.i hope no one votes for a republican congress ever it needs to be democrat...we need all new democrats ,and a few new republicans these people been in there making 165,000 with full benefits for 20 + years most of them..time for all new people...different people from your states as your senators your representives,new governors tired of chuck shummer harry reid,james bonner..quit electing them.

The unmittigated gall that this president has is mind boggling! How dare he say the Congress has work to do. He's the president that has had more vacation days than any of he predecessors. He has the poorest record of initiatives related to domestic policy and he's a total disgrace at foreign policy. He's alientated the US from almost every country in the world. He vetoes every meaningful, honest, uncorrupted piece of legislation. You make me sick, GW!

I stopped listening to anything this President and his administration had to say not long after we invaded Iraq. In my opinion, he would not know what the TRUTH was if it fell out of heaven and hit him on the head. For him to stand before the people of this country and make a speech criticizing this Congress about what they have achieved is absolutely absurd. What Mr. President have you done to benefit the American people? NOTHING! You and your administration have spoken highly of your family values and your devoutness to Christianity, yet you have turned your backs on the poor people of this country. You have done nothing with regard to health care. Your idea of national security is none other than a tactic used to support your invasion of Iraq by scaring the masses of people and telling them how you can protect them against terrorists, but DUH, you have left our borders open, but that was intentional, was it not? An open border provides support for your Security and Prosperity Partnership with Mexico and Canada to form a North American Union and establishing a North American Union monetary unit, the AMERO. You seem to be working diligently to destroy our sovereign nation, something I love dearly. You have depleted all manufacturing facilities within the US and outsourced thousands of jobs. You show statistics with regard to a thriving economy, but the truth is that after one has received unemployment compensation for six months and then it is stopped, one ceases to be listed as a statistic. Who do you think you are fooling? With what you have done to the budget of this country and your disregard for spending, in my opinion, you and your administration should have to pick up the tab, forfeiting your assets, forfeiting your income, forfeiting your health care, and being limited to a minimal social security check with only a Medicare card and perhaps one of those trailers you sent to New Orleans to benefit Katrina survivors. Oh, yes, that too was a day late and a dollar short! The housing market is the worse that it has been in years. Oh, let us not forget trade. Your support of NAFTA has left us all like sitting ducks while we receive tainted toothpaste, toys, and other products from China. Where on earth is the FDA, an agency that Americans put their trust in to keep us safe? What have you done to help military veterans? There is nothing any more disgusting than witnessing the GIs who have been wounded in Iraq with improper health care. As the Commander in Chief, can you honestly expect any of us not to hold you responsible? Law enforcement, what is that? Oh, I see! The rest of the Americans in this country are supposed to be law-abiding citizens while you approach the Congress for immunity of any charges for your administration as well as yourself. What a prime example of a law-abiding citizen! And, none of us should overlook the fact that we now have Blackwater Security under no jurisdiction of any law, being paid more by our government than our very own US soldiers. Where is your accountability, Mr. President? What have you done to my beloved country? Where is our government of the people, by the people, and for the people? Let me see now, I think I can recollect you stating that we are a country of "haves and have nots." You want to talk about job performance, well yours STINKS!

"With all these pressing responsibilities, one thing Congress should not be doing is sorting out the historical record of the Ottoman Empire," Bush said. "The resolution on the mass killings of Armenians beginning in 1915 is counterproductive. ..."

This is the only statement Bush has ever made that I agree with. I can't understand why Congress during this tumultuous time would even entertain such petty issues! And certainly can't understand why Hillary Clinton supported this motion! You have not done yourself proud Mrs. Clinton!

This ridiculous move by Congress makes me ask if one party is really any different than the other when you get right down it! If the Dems want to loose the election your headed in the right direction with this line of petty, non-essential historical tripe.

Bush has not vetoed a single bill while republicans enjoyed 7 years of mismanagement and indiscrete spending. Has any of the right wingers asked what have they achieved in 7 years of power? Look at all the mess from Iraq war to Katrina is all the creation of republican congress. And now a blank paper sent by democrats is vetoed and any good bill is blocked by republicans. Unless democrats get clear majority and their president, nothing will get done. May be, the turkish vote is not appropriate at this time (this has been dodged from Nixon to G W Bush), but one can't expect miracles from Reid and Pelosy in 10 months of power.

Well I think that President Bush Is 100% right. Congress has better thing's to be doing then overriding a veto right now. As for the genoicde sure we need to help but let's just keep in mind that were not the only nation that could help. Right now congress need's to focus on more important thing's it's silly to spend endless hours on something stupid.

A truly pathetic attempt to deflect criticism of his own failed policies on the democrats. Shrub never met a spending bill he didn't like when the pubs were throwing them across his desk but now that the dems are there he's running out of ink on the poison veto pen. Shrub sees the writing on the wall. Gasoline prices are soon going to hit 100/ barrel, the housing loan situation is going to explode and his "great" economy (which sits on a knifes edge) is on the road to collapse. If I were him I'd try looking for a scapegoat too.If any one has any question about his total disdain for the American public just look at the stupid smirk he has on his face this entire press conference. It's as though he thinks he's talking to a bunch of infants.

Turkey OKs move against rebels in Iraq.

Turkey denies US use of Incirlik AB as portal for OIF supplies

Nice job, Nancy Pelosi. Nice.

You clowns simply do not deserve the honor of the positions you hold. While you're at it, maybe you could muster up a vote condemning the actions of one Gengis Khan. Idiots.

LOL

There is no one more thin skinned or less open minded than a liberal on the defensive.

There is a reason the 110th Congress has the lowest approval ratings in our countries history. It's funny (and even a bit sad) that liberals are so blinded by their own rhetoric and hatred for President Bush that they can't see their own faults.

Don't worry though. Your 11 percent approval ratings indicate that Americans see them.

I read through these posts and see that Congress is a true representation of the people. Blame the Democrats. Blame the Republicans. If the members of Congress thought of themselves as a member of Congress, and not as a member of their respective party, something might get done!

The next step would be cooperative effort between the Legislative and Executive branches, but let's take it one step at a time.

Somewhere in Texas a town is missing it's idiot. BREAKING NEWS: He has been found parading around as a president.

I'm really sick of you liberal wimps calling Bush stupid all the time. This makes any self-respecting stupid person feel truly awful.

They're all worthless in my view. Congress has wasted time by trying to pass idiotic and non-relevant social doctrine, as well as propagandize against anyone who who has opposing views. Who cares about Bush? He's history soon anyway.

It's time for a new President, and an even better congress/senate. Nanci Pelosi? Seriously? Come on people...let's really think hard and do some research before we vote these robots in. Maybe it's time for some new faces?

Bush isn't the greatest president, but I'm glad he's pushing these wimps to make better proposals.

Somewhere in Texas a village is searching for its idiot...

Reminds me of George Washington and the cherry tree, only the first George W owned up to what he'd done instead of saying "It was the Democrat Party!"

While George Bush's relevancy is beginning to follow his credability's downward spiral, he is correct.

Congress has a lot to do.

They must override his child insurance expansion bill veto.

They must set and pass a timetable to get our troops out of Iraq and back to fighting Al Queda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.

They need to pass a bill, and override another veto if needed, funding stem cell research in the U.S.

The should start impeachment proceeds against the current occupant of the White House.

Yea and the biggest problem facing the average American today is Dalai Lama..

Yes George. You all have things in order.

Yes,the Dem Congress has been a disappointment when compared to an an appropriate standard.

However,President Bush comes up as a psychopath when measured against any standard
that involves civilized behavior.

Bush has had almost eight year of power and he has accomplished quite alot. Wars, nations turning against us, poisoning children&pets, leaving our borders open for everyone to come in, leaving people in floods after hurricanes, etc. Congress has done nothing because the moron veto's everything.

I will not call you President. I will not call you Mr. Anything. However I will call you the biggest embarrasment and disgrace, outside of Rick Perry that has come from the State of Texas. Both of you are idiot delights. George, you are an appointment of the Supreme Court. You have no right to demand anything except a ticket home to Rick.

My fat rat terrier has more credibility (and brains) than this Bozo Bush. He needs to shut up and go back to Texas.

"I'm a uniter not a divider"!

I wish this partisan hack could keep his lies straight!

There is no use complaining about Congress. People have done that for years and nothing has changed. Congress has a lower approval rating than the president. I am actually happy that Congress hasn't accomplished anything because all they seem to do is make things worse.

vetoing the schip isnt an attack on the middle class, passing it would be because of the taxes raised to support this program. Im lower middleclass and I CAN AFFORD health ins. I wont beable to if they raised my taxes. If the dems could stop socializing everything maybe they could get something passed. And yes I think GW is a bad person and pres. I wish congress would overturn no child left behind, that is a flawed program if ever there was one.

To answer spinstopper, the 110th Congress has accomplished nothing. which is what I would perfer to a republican controlled 110th Congress that would continue to rubber-stamp the Bush administrations misguided policies and run this country further in the ditch.

The Democratic Congress may not be great but, as one of the crappiest presidents in history, you lost the right to criticize anybody a long time ago.

Now play with your toys, George, and shut up.

Sadly, President Bush, the leaders in Congress today are not interested in passing meaningful legislation – rather they prefer campaign issues:

- Send a bill you know the President will veto (SCHIP) so Dems can attempt to paint Republicans anti-children

- Send a bill you know the President will veto (stated Iraq time-table) so Dems can cry it a never-ending-conflict.

- Send a bill you know the President will veto (Embryonic stem-cell research) so Dems can cry how Republicans are against healing the sick (regardless that not ONE medical breakthrough has been as a result of ALL the stem-cell research)

- Spend excessive time attempting to prosecute Albert Gonzales for his office firing 8 at-will US Attorneys. A case that in all likelihood not yeild ONE count of injustice but gives the Dems the appearance of going after the "Bush White House".

Why ELSE would Congress have approval ratings under 20%???? Politics as usual. Thanks Nancy and Harry!!

this congress should and could have done a lot more if it werent for the cowardly republicans who obstuct progress whenever possible....

Perhaps the reason why Congress has failed to achieve much in their first nine months of power is due to the fact that Bush keeps vetoing their bills, especially if these bills are to help middle class Americans and do not provide money for his cronies and corporate america. The American people are wise to your ways Bushie...we are no longer listening to you.

Really, does anyone take George Bush seriously? He is so dumb. His money has been handed to him. He wouldn't know how to earn a cent on his own.

I think the whole world is on hold, just waiting for him to get out of the WH so we all can start to repair the damage I never thought one man, especially such a dumb one, could do. Bush, go sit by your dish.

What isn't reported is that in the Q&A portion before the actual press conference, a joke was made about Putin trying to stay in office. Bush countered back with something to the effect of 'yea, I'm trying to figure out the same thing myself'. The crowd laughed as if Bush was joking, but the expression on Bush's face tells all. He looked really unsettled and shifty. His eyes.... (ugh, gives me the creeps). Surely this will turn up on youtube in the next day or two.

That's the funniest, sickest thing I've heard today! This man is talking about Congress not getting things done?!? The only things he has managed to accomplish on his 7 year watch are extremely detrimental to us all – oh if only he hadn't done anything! When is the American public going to wake up?

This coming from the president that failed to achieve much in his entire 8 years.

The pot is calling the kettle black.

can he be serious? after vetoing or threatening to veto everything that comes across his desk? does he really think we're that stupid? that we wouldn't consider what he's saying? this and his early september revision of history (we should have stayed in vietnam) make me wonder who he's got writing his speeches. c'mon, you can't possibly think we would believe that congress is the problem. colbert-colbert '08!

What has the 110th Congress accomplished for the American people?

Posted By spinstopper : October 17, 2007 1:37 pm

Far more roll call votes than the last few Congresses have. In fact, a week or two ago, they broke the record for the most roll calls in history, with 943, topping the old one of 942.

Not that it does much good when no Republicans in the Senate vote in favor of anything that the House passes, or when they do, that Bush discards since found the veto pen under his desk after 6 years.

How in the hell can G.W. Bush accuse anyone of wasting time? He has been the biggest waste of time in American history.

When George W. was a little boy his nannies taught him his first words,"It wasn't me, they did it !!!"

Wow, it was easy to see how this story would rile up the rabid Bush-haters that can do nothing but whine, complain and spew their vile hatred while the Democratically controlled Congress has failed to lead and has now achieved a record low approval rating of 11 percent in the latest Reuters/Zogby poll. I submit to all you victims of Bush Derangement Syndrome that perhaps your energies may be better spent getting Congress back into the game, than on spewing your hatred and vicious name calling against the out-going President.

Dick Cheney. Now he is an American badass. Americans will be sorry down the road when he is gone.

Bush is a disgrace.

If he had any decency he'd resign for the sake of the nation, or at least just go back to his ranch and quit acting like he's president, where he's really nothing more than a puppet.

This congress has been in session for less than 2 years. What has Bush done in 7+ years with a mainly Republican-controlled congress? Ship jobs overseas, buried us in a war that only benefits Halliburton and oil companies, presided over the greatest loss of civil liberties in 50 years, given tax cuts to those that don't need them, and has been worthless on health care, global warming, education, and social security.

People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones Mr. Bush. You have wasted the last seven years with one bad decision after another; Iraq, No child left behind, Katrina, etc. Tell me you're not calling out congress about wasting time when you've been the biggest waste in American history.

They haven't done in 9 months what he hasn't done in 6 years – and now he points the finger at them. (Well, at least he had to take it out of his nose for a minute). He's already won "Worst President in US History", why does he keep trying so hard?

Good, this Democratic lead congress is so incredible sickening, I throw up in mouth everytime I hear that Traitor Harry Reid speak. Ol Nancy is almost as bad endangering our solidiers by trying to cut off their supplies from turkey. These people are not true americans rather a mouth piece for liberal babel that is threatening our countries livelyhood. Thank God the adults are in charge in the whitehouse and the lil kids have to stay in the congress.

I am calling on you Mr. President to end the needless deaths and injuries to our soldiers in Iraq. All agree that there is only a political solution in Iraq, for a conflict that goes back 1400 years. And you thought that you could ride in on your domacracy horse and bring democracy to a country that was not homogeneous.
A coutry with three tribes Sunni, Shia, and Kurd. A country where the minority ruled with an iron fist and harshly over the other two. A country with three religions, two branches from the same religious wanting mastery over the others. And you thought that it would be easy and walk in the park?
Fools go in where wise men fear to tread. Cheney of 1994 knew, or had he already came down with the "I can't recall" disease which became prevalant in your administration.

What has the 110th Congress accomplished for the American people?

BUSH HAS BEEN, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE, THE BIGGEST OBSTRUCTIONIST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY.

BY VETOING THE S-CHIP BILL AT $35 MILLION, BECAUSE IT WOULD INCLUDE THE MIDDLE CLASS, IS CLEARER PROOF THAT THE GOP HAS DECLARED WAR ON THE MIDDLE CLASS!

YEAH GEORGE, THEY ARE MIDDLE CLASS, AND THEY CAN'T AFFORD THE INSURANCE – GET IT?!

BUT THEN AGAIN, BY RUNNING OUT HIS TWO TERMS AS HE WILL, HE'LL ALL BUT GUARANTEE BIG, DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES IN 2008, WHEN WE CAN THEN, AS A NATION, BEGIN TO CLEAN UP HIS MESS!!!

Who cares what that broke-down old mule brays about?

The true political ticker is the jagged twisted pill the American People are made to swallow with the lies fed to us by filtered media. Fact: Giulianni has investments deals with Cintra over roads to be sold off to this foreign spanish co. Most other candidates voted for Free trade Cafta-Nafta-Gats-FTTA-WTO all favoring the de-industrialization of our Nation and favoring multinational corporations, foreign Nationa, foreign citizens while We The People average American citizens pay with more work, taxes and Loss of sovereignty and Freedoms.

Funny to hear him complain. Mr. President, the American people have a lot more to complain about from your time in office. In fact, it would be easier to list what we do not have to complain about.

Isn't this like the pot calling the kettle black.

This totally incompetent president, has only recently become a fisical conservative, right after the 2006 elections. The reason nothing is happening in congress is that the democrats do not have a veto proof majority in either house. When the republicans held both houses they passed everything the president gave them and he signed everything they passed. And he now wants to blame congress?

This man wants to play but only by his rules. He has been a total disaster. What he has done to this country is treasonist.

Well, the public has been blasting Bush for years and he hasn't done anything to change that either.

How can he have any room to complain? What has he done in the last almost 8 years? Ruined our economy and killed more than 2000 soliders. Now 1000s of Children don't have health care due to his veto. Need I say more

And, another score for this Congress:

Today, the House passed the RESTORE Act, restraining the President’s wiretapping powers after the hastily-passed Protect America Act and restoring a balance between civil liberties and security. The final vote was 222-196.

you know, i understand why so many people think the dems. in the house and senate don't do anything, but i don't think naysayers really "understand" why this is not the case.

let me explain:

just becuase the dems won control of both houses doesn't mean they have enough votes to override one of GW's never-used-before-but-almost-always-used-vetoes.

this doesn't mean that the dems. haven't tried to make changes in all the above mentioned areas.

i also love how this man thinks we (by we i mean free thinkjng intelligent people who actually care about this country) don't notice his complete disdain for poor children (or poor people in general). he vetoes a bill providing them better health care coverage and then goes out to cast the dems. as the evildoers.

this guy is really starting to get under my skin.

Obama 08

Does anyone really care anymore what this man thinks?

What a colossal cretin (look it up , Prez 'cause I'm sure you haven't a clue with your glowing knowledge of the English language!!!!)

The President has made a good point. The Democrats in Congress appear to me like they feel like they have a really, really good job with great benefits and very low performance standards. They seem to be very cautious about taking any risks at all.

There is no chance of mistaking modern Democrats for real American Liberals like Franklin Roosevelt or Harry Truman.

Yada yada yada.

Bush knows – just like the rest of us -that the Democrats have a very narrow majority in the legislature, and too many repugnican legislators still have their lips so glued to dubya's slippery lame-duck hind-quarters, they haven't allowed themselves to come up for fresh air long enough to work with the dems for much legislative progress.

The dishonorable prez only has himself and his idolators to blame for any of what he now calls wasted time.

Geez, it must be tough for him to be met with the fact that fewer and fewer people are willing to bend over for him.

More false statements from the Prince of prevarication. Congress has attempted to get much done, however Bush and his Republican trash cronies keep getting in the way. Too bad the dems dont have the guts to steam roll over the opposition the way the Republicans did to them. Now that would be something to see.

Of course he ripped Congress. He can't admit he might be wrong about one of these issues can he? No, that wouldn't be the tough macho Pres. we all know and...
And it's easy to attack the slim Dem majority, even though some Republicans are now disagreeing with him too...old news here! And he barely answered a question, per usual. What Congress should be doing is figuring out how to impeach these crooks, and restoring some sense of pride in the Constitution and our country.

I hope all American's realize that Congress has been trying, however they are short votes needed to pass legisaltion due to the Republicans still holding seats. I wish our President realized that too!

Congress, under Pelosi and Reid, is a circus. Shameful statesmanship. Not Red, White, and Blue. Totally misguided puppets following the marching orders of the extreme left. Too bad that they will forever be known in history as the LOWEST rated congress ever. Instead of being historical, this pair will be an answer to a TRIVIA question. No substance, just HOT AIR. They are very, very obvious and the pair of them are the best campaign contribution the Republicans could EVER ask for.

He's right about Congress dragging its feet. They haven't begun to defund this phony war, bring charges against this administration or satrt impeachment hearings.

Nothing has been done in Congress because he refuses to budge! It's not like he's done anything much either. The September timeframe came and went and it sure doesn't appear anything has changed in Iraq, despite the spin.

Somebody has to comment on this not worth commenting on this do-nothing himself president of only destrution. Destruction of other countries
Destruction of our young people
Detruction of our image in the world
Destruction of the middle class
Destruction of not having deficits
Destruction of scientific solutions
Destruction of....I'm tired. Someone else add to this.

Wel..."W" ...what have you done for seven years??? How much important legislation has your agenda been pushed thru?

You have spent over 400 days of admitted vacation while soldiers have died for your farce of a war.

You have spent money like a crazed liberal and NOW you want to point fingers??!!

Congress has work to do...you're the divider...eer I mean decider why don't you decide to work with people.

Oh yeah...one more thing ...you say you don't read the newspapers.....you might try it , it would set a good example for our youth. After all, you wouldn't want your legacy to be "Leave No President behind"....too late

Stuff it Bush – you want to know the reason this country is in so much trouble? LOOK IN THE MIRROR YOU ASS.

Has the 110th Congress made good on its promises to enact sweeping legislation? No.

Does the fault lie at the feet of the Democratic leadership, as Bush would have us believe? No.

In fact, the reason is because Republicans are filibustering at unprecedented rates. At the current rate, they will enact more filibusters than any three previous Congresses put together. Search Google for "110th Congress Filibusters" and see for yourself.

Republicans doubtless see this as a good thing, and Democrats see it as a bad thing. Regardless, the fact remains that Congress isn't passing legislation because of Republican obstructionism, plain and simple.

You want Congress to pass legislation? Toss out more Republicans in the next election. If the Democratic majority gets strong enough to stop Republican filibusters, we'll see a great deal of legislation passed.

Alternate headline: Lame Duck Quacks Loudy, with No Effect.

How about "BLASTING" yourself to thin air Mr. President. This would be the best thing you can do for the American people.

Please be gone...

I agree. They haven't done what they were elected to do. Impeach Bush and Cheney.

The pathological moron take the podium again and says much of nothing. The Moron in Chief fails to realize that he is irrelevant. His opinion doesn't matter. I hope Congress continue to befuddle the idiot and give him pure hell until his last day in office. He still hasn't grasp the fact that this is not the rubber-stamp republican congress of yesteryear.

Listen to the pot call the kettle black. Why won't this moron just shut up until his term runs out?

Hello, pot? This is the kettle. You're black!

Does anyone care anymore what this man thinks?

So let me get this right.... Bush has nothing to do with any of those areas and it's all Congress' fault. Looks like the "deciderer" has decided to play the blame game. He's decided to veto everything Congress passes up to him and has spent insane amounts over "his" irresponcible war. That's a true leader!

I think I'll vote for Stephen Colbert if he runs. What's there to lose anymore?

So the president blames congress for not doing anything. What does he want them to do? Straighten out the mess that he has created during his last seven years in the white house?

I lose all faith in both parties when they blame the other political party for not doing anything when they have done nothing themselves except take care of their contributors and do everything to assure their own re-election.

What Bush doesn't realize is that congress actually has made much effort. It's just that the Democratically-controlled congress is facing much resistance from Republicans. Progress isn't being made because Bush has, for the last several months, vetoed every single bill to come to his desk. And to think, he has the nerve to pin it on congress! What, are we all supposed to kiss your ass without question, Bush?

I'm willing to bet lots of money that when Bush finally does get the appropriations bills, he'll veto every last one and blame it on congress. That's been his tactic for a long time now. Meanwhile, the plight of the American people grows worse, not better. I think impeachment is in order...

Does this mean we can blast someone else for wasting almost 7 years.

I incredibly find myself in an extremely rare position to agree w/
Bush regarding congress' fixation on such nonsense as worrying about what transpired in the Ottoman Empire in 1915...I'd really like to know where this idiocy originated, but definitely no-one, including myself, should waste yet another moment on this, while the 99 thousand other more ugently important issues go unconsidered...

It's laughable that he's scolding Congress for voting on the Armenian Genocide resolution since one of his campaign promises [video taped for viewer's pleasure] was to make it the US policy to recognize the genocide at the hands of the former Ottoman Emprie. He's such a hypocrit. However, what the heck is Congress thinking these days! This is not the time nor the place for addressing this resolution.

What a stupid stupid man.

Congress can't get 'achieve much' if this idiot of a president vetoes everything they try and push through. Duh!

Maybe it's just me, but the Dems can't get anything passed if he vetoes it. Thye don't have the majority in either the Senate or House to overturn the veto. They have been working, but their accomplishments can only be measured by whether or not he sees them as "good" enough to pass into law, I suppose.

What a useless, limp, tool this guy is.

Congress HAS done a lot of work.

See a full list of the 110th Congress’s accomplishments:

and

Well yes. It also doesn't help that Senate republicans are filibustering everything, and Bush vetos anything that gets past their filibuster.

It's hard for the democrats to get much done when the republicans obstruct everything they're doing.

This pitiful 110th Congress has done nothing except put America and its volunteer soldiers in more danger. Is there any doubt that they desire the title, “Worst Congress in American History”? Bring back the gallows and off with their heads, its the only thing these liberal weenies deserve..
