Friend Hedges, still on that partisan rant are you? Did you blame the Pubs when Pelosi sent a slew of bills to the Senate and they ignored them? Of course you didn't, because you didn't like the Pelosi bills anymore than Senate Dems like Boehner's bills. I know you're smarter than what you let on. You know, as I know, even though Dems are in the majority in the Senate, they don't "control" it. Senate Pubs have been very good and letting the Dems get nothing done. Give them credit. When the Dems really were in charge, 2008, they got a lot done, much to all the Pubs chagrin. That's why they are mad. When the Dems were in full control, they did what they said they were going to do, health care reform, stimulus bill, Frank-Dodd. When the Pubs were in charge, albeit, not fully in charge, they got nothing done. To quote you, N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Did they reduce the size of government? No they increased it. Did they reduce the debt? No, they increased it. Did they fix social security, immigration reform, etc.? No. They did nothing. You're really good at pointing fingers at the Dems Friend Hedges, but you're very poor at explaining why Pubs have been so great.
Budget bills originate in the House, not the Senate Dem's fault if they keep passing bills they would never ever support. Would you be so respectful of Pubs if they supported all of Pelosi's bills?
Other than tax cuts, the easiest legislation to pass, what have the Pubs done for us in the last 20 years???? Instead of attacking, try defending for a change.
I hope you have slowed down some Friend Hedges, don't want you to lose your car insurance. Be safe.

brucetee _ No President has been re-elected with buma’s unemployment numbers. Don’t even look at underemployed numbers. Will give you a migraine !!!
Again, how does your last statement relate to my last comment ? You are "delusional". More precisely, the UN-ARTFUL DOGGER to my comment...
Those who pay the VAST MAJORITY of the taxes is the rich. Not the middle class and certainly not the poor. I would say rich PAY TOO MUCH of the burden. The tax break the buma administration gave working class comes out of the pocket of social security KILLING IT QUICKER as retiree’s numbers begin to explode. The tax breaks the rich got from John F Kennedy, Reagan, Newt, and Bush increased government revenue and gave us longest Bull Market. That helped America. While the rich were given tax breaks so were the middle class and poor. How quickly liberals forget that part.
On Oct. 1, 2010 budget was due. With FULL CONTROL of Congress and WH Democrats failed to pass one. Since then little has been passed by Democrat Senate. Budgets have been passed by House not just “social issues”. THE BUM agreed to tax cuts for rich, middle class, and poor that we pushed for extending Bush’s cuts. Then bum whine about his agreeing.
Does the Democrats pass or fail the House bills. OF COURSE NOT. DO THEY re-write them and send back to House ? NO. They do N O T H I N G.
Tax cuts for rich has increased government revenue and gave us longest Bull Market. Is proven way to our recovery. DEMOCRATS HAVE NO PLAN. They sit. They complain. That’t all folks.
Last balanced budget and last reduction in debt was with Newt and the CONTRACT WITH AMERICA. Working with both paries. Reduced taxes and government. THAT SCARES LIBERALS...
Gallup still shows Mitt ahead of the bum. Santorum behind by 1 %. National not State level. We still elect our President by all of buma’s 58 States:
“TRIAL HEAT
CHANGE
Romney
50%
+2
Obama
46%
-2
TRIAL HEAT
CHANGE
Obama
49%
- 2
Santorum 48%
+5”

it doesn;t seem that the president had bad month.in a majority of polls
( real clear politics ) he leads all the main contenders..
as to to the comment by the nameless poster.the majority of the bills passed by the house,deal with social issues and tax breaks for people ,and corperations,that do not need or deserve them at the expense of lower and middle class people.
as for newt, if was a supporter,i would just have to admit that iback a flawed candidate.when the voters tool a second look,they turned away.
too much old baggage.

Ron Paul has shown NO RECORD of COMPROMISE in Congress. Why he has accomplished little in DC. In the best of times COMPROMISE is a priority in government. Even when Democrats had full control of Congress buma had to give Presidential order to some Democrats that no federal funds would be used for abortion. Took compromise among his own party to pass bumacare...

If Obama is re-elected or if Romney is elected, it will be "politics as usual".
~Ron Paul 2012~
I several millionth the nomination!

Harry Reasoner of MA 11:38AM March 31, 2012

If Mitt Romney were to get the Republican nod, then it's a three way with Ron Paul. Right up until the general election - regardless of which way the Republican convention goes - the People Will have the decision of where history goes from here.
Freedom through tolerence.
Peace through strength.
~Ron Paul 2012~

John of NY 11:28AM March 31, 2012

mr. bill. tell me that your not still clinging to the notion that newt's going to get the nomination.if thats the case,your delusional.
it;s just as i predicted sometime ago,newt was a flash in the pan.when people came to their senses,and saw the glaring baggage that he has.they turned away.

How does is go brucetee ? You change the subject if you don’t like the article. Article title “President Obama's Very Bad Month”. Just throwing same garbage brucetee enjoys eating. With trite remarks like “is running on fumes and bald tires”.
Then according to Gallup buma approval has dropped to 44%. Mitt leads buma. buma promised to cut National debt in 1/2 when in reality he is all time chump IN RED ink SPENDER. Caused BIG losses Nov. 2, 2010. buma & Democrats done nothing since to expect a different outcome come next election. Democrats called us party of NO. So what do they call themselves with 30 + bills passed in House that _sit_ gathering dust in Democrat Senate ? Maybe OUT OF D.C. come next election. Calling Democrats party of NO now seems too insufficient don’t you know...
To brucetee Newt is “being narcissistic to being delusional”. Newt did balance the budget and reduce debt. To a liberal that’s unheard of. Bill Clinton never accomplished that. buma never came close. While brucetee great factual information is “is running on fumes and bald tires”...

Bill Hedges of MO 10:40PM March 30, 2012

newt's campaign is running on fumes and bald tires.
he gone from being narcissistic to being delusional.
