Nobody is going to be thinking of Bush on Nov. 2nd 2012 except those still afflicted with "Bush Derangement Syndrome". Obama fought the economic fire with gasoline. He now want to continue to rack up more debt and enact more job killing policies. His most recent example is the Canadian Pipeline halt.

I have to agree with Richie. Whenever someone takes over a company, he or she is now responsible for righting the ship. Blaming the current conditions on someone who they replaced three years ago no longer works.
So far, Obama has only worsen the picture with his agenda. He needs to stop the spending and find some way to fix the problems.
Unfortunately farming the budget responsibility to a group of 12 is not the answer. These senators and representatives that we elected need to roll up their sleeves and get down to business. That is what we are paying them for.
Maybe it would have been better if they would have picked a committee of 13 non-government people from each state - people like us using the thirteenth person as the spokesperson for the group to go over all of the budget including the pork and see what they could have done. That way there would be no favorite project to be saved in each state.
I would bet that in three months these groups would have reached a reasonable budget.
I know it would never happen because somehow the senators would make sure that their people were in the group to protect their interests.
