"Dems only had control of Congress 2 of the 8 years that GW was blowing money everywhere except in America- and from what I've seen since they took control they started questioning and holding hearings on where that money went- something the Repubs didn't do EVER- just rubberstamping...And they asked Condi Rice how you lose $25 Billion in Iraq and have no idea where it went-- and how you give Billions $ to a firm thats supposed to train Iraqi police- that never showed up and doesn't exist....Or how you hire a company that subcontracts to a foreign company that subcontracts to another foreign company (each at Billions $ profit ) to build barracks for the troops that doesn't even have licensed electricians and are electrocuting US troops.. "
We weren't in Iraq for those 8 years, and when the Dems had control when the infrastructure that you speak of was being built, they did nothing but flap their jaws. They had Congress, what did they DO?
They should of asked Condi where the money went, and if they didn't get a good answer, they should of came down with action and heads should of rolled. However, you can't tell me that there is a great concern for funds when they grandstand on that 25B, but then don't even read Obama's 800B bill before rubberstamping it. Hypocriticus Maximus.
Obama ran on a platform of rebuilding the US- improving the infrastructure, improving the Health Care System, putting money back into education and science, developing an alternative energy program, bringing back world trust and respect, etc. etc...
And I don't think there was one person that voted for him that didn't know this was going to cost money- Big Money- after all the years we fell behind while GW played in his sand box...
Thats the change I took it that Americans wanted...
He also ran on transparancy, changing the way that Washington did business, being financially responsible, bipartisanship, etc.... - and that has turned out to be a heap of steaming road apples. The man LIED to get in power, and he LIED after getting in power. Do you honestly think that a compulsive liar is going to deliver what this country needs?
