He said, paraphrasing: 'I'll change how business (politics) in Washington
DC is done.'

Yet he has done just the opposite and it's business as usual in DC. The
demorats hold a majority in both houses and have the WH. The Senate is 60%
Demorat, which allows them to pass laws without any opposition from the
40%...who happen to be in the right, not on it. Not only that, but the
Demorats have locked out those 40 and are holding secret meetings with
the Prez and the House to plan on how to pass the Health Care bill without
any say or input by the 40%...

Demorat politics as usual.

The 'blame game', as we call it. It's been a year since the O'bama was
sworn in as the Prez, yet the former Prez is not to blame for what has
been caused by the new Prez. He cannot blame the former Prez for the
doubling of the deficit since Jan, 20, 2009. He cannot blame the former
Prez for the taxation required to support his spending the country into
the biggest depression in 80 years. He cannot blame the former Prez for
the highest unemployment rate in over 30 years.
