Bush* always manged to set the bar extremely low and so escaped blame
most of the time. Obama and Democrats set the bar as high as possible and then failed to live up to it. It was by choice and not by circumstance either. Democrats had the choice to get rid of all the failed policies and personnel of the previous Administration and yet they not only kept most in place but actually strengthened them..Democrats had the Choice to cut off funding for Iraq which they tried to do so many times during the Bush* Administration and yet when the time came they added even more money to it..Choices have been there, but the wrong ones have won out..It does not surprise me in the slightest that people are feeling let down and very angry..

1. Junior also had a unique talent for
hiring complete nincompoops like Heckuva Job Brownie, who made him look smart and competent by comparison.

2. No. They lied and SAID they had high hopes for that magic change we were all stupid enough to fall
for.

So now, they have pissed off liberals angry at their policy goals and crazy reich-wingers angry at their betrayal of the "populist" bull they were throwing during the campaign.
