nonsense. republicans controlled the house and senate from 2000-2006 with a majority....At no time did Republican's have a majority in Congress...
edit: why is there an apostrophe in "republicans"?
http://factcheck.org/2008/10/who-caused-the-economic-crisis/Obama...should be pointing at himself and other Democrats in Congress...
Republicans, who controlled the Senate at the time, did not bring the bill forward for a vote...
The bill made it out of committee in the Senate but was never brought up for consideration. At that time, Republicans had a majority in the Senate and controlled the agenda. Democrats never got the chance to vote against it or to mount a filibuster to block it.
your logic is dizzying. somehow, in your mind, the democrats are responsible for not voting on a bill that was never brought forward by the party in charge of the house and senate to even be voted on.
meanwhile, bush bragged about the ownership society in the SOTU. i watched him do it with my own two eyes. i'm sure i can dig up a clip or two.
talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words. if it was criticized by congressional republicans, it was praised where the buck stopped. if congressional republicans criticized it, why did they not bring it to a vote even?
somehow, you think obama should blame himself for not voting on a bill he was not physically capable of voting on.
seems legit.
