When bush was in office they wouldn't even consider any input from us. I say we use everything to push back on everything they did when bush was in office. Than work on getting the house in 2014. We have to do what they do and pull this country to the left.

...the President proposes and the Congress disposes. We don't have a majority in the
House, so there will have to be some sort of compromise. But PO has already bent over backwards to compromise, and actually caved in on too much. They (the Republicons') always seem to want too much in the deal and I even think I remember them promising to compromise and then backing out of it at the last minute. What a F***ing let down that was.
