Democrat President Obama allowed the transportation trust fund spending plan to lapse and played virtually no role in working up the current 2 year instead of the nomal 6 year plan.
Incomprehension, or partisanship?
Which is it?

Consumer confidence was on the rise really well until the debt cieling fight. Then it dropped off the cliff. We lost our credit rating and I think Americans just thought. Fu*k, the morons are driving the bus.

Let's all pretend Obama hasn't been President for 3 1/2 years. Sure that's it blame Bush for Obama and the Senate's inability to get anything done when they don't control the House.
The only blame at the moment lies with the worst ranked Congress ever. We're talking about the legislative branch - not the executive branch. You do realize that don't you?

The senate passed one bill and it goes to the house, what do you want to bet it dies there? It's the tax expiration bill.

1. They’re not passing laws.

So, in many ways that is a good thing as the laws they pass usually affect only the little guy and more often than not hurts 'em as well.

2. They’re hideously unpopular.

Congress has never been very popular with the people because they have shown themselves to be not trust worthy.

3. They’re incredibly polarized.

It has been that way for years and it won't change for the better anytime soon.

4. They’ve set back the recovery.

Yes, by imposing depression era fixes that didn't work when they were tried the first time.

5. They lost our credit rating.

Doesn't obama get any of the blame?

6. They’re terrible even when they’re “super.”

This one is just stupid.

7. Repeal. Repeal. Repeal. Repeal. Repeal. Repeal. Repeal. Repeal.

Another childish one.

8. The budget shenanigans of Senate Democrats

Hey, he finally got one right.

9. They can’t get appropriations done on time.

Can't get anything done when the democratically controlled Senate won't move on any bill passed by the House.

10. The transportation-infrastructure fiasco.

Yes, the shovel ready jobs never materialized because obama was to busy passing out tarp money to his green friends.

11. The FAA shutdown

It was the democrats who opposed the bill.

12. Failing the Fed.

How?

13. The experts agree.

This one doesn't count as a reason.

14. There actually are problems they need to solve.

Yes, and if the democratically controlled Senate would debate the 40 odd bills passed by the house many would be solved.

This list could apply to any congress over the past 20 years. If this is the best the left can come up with to defend obama and his obamatrons in congress I think we could savely say Romney is a shoe in.
