I sure hope that none of the Dems giving Obama hell voted to

-repeal Glass/Steagle
-reform the bankruptcy code
-approve the Bush tax cuts,or
-authorize the Iraq War.
If so they need to understand their complicity in this mess.

1. Yes and don't forget

Many of them also talked Nancy Pelosi into NOT bring up ending the Bush tax cuts to the floor last year "before" the elections because they did NOT want to address that before the elections since they knew the republicans would accuse them of raising taxes!

So while they complain now about things, they also need to, as you stated, take responsibility for what they have done in the past that has put us in the place we are today.

3. I have wondered if the outcome of the mid terms

would have been very different had we put the Bush tax cuts front and center. Thanks for adding it here.

2. Owning up to your own complicity earns you the right/responsibility of going after that of others'

AGGRESSIVELY.

8. I have seen four high profile ones

and all four, not one, not two, not three, but all four voted the right way on all those issues. I am referring to Sanders, Frank, Cleaver, and DeFasio.
