I have always thought of her more as a kerr than a maverick.

You keep saying that. But they barely had a majority before. Especially in the Senate. Having a majority of a couple means nothing in there. And a lot of the stuff they tried to get through was vetoed by bush. So how do they get the blame exactly?

Well, clearly, Bush was so ineffective, that his presidency had no impact on America. Given that everything that occured during his presidency was apparently the Democrats fault.

Just the first 6 years. I don't blame Congress' sucess or failures on the president. Both Bush and Obama get to share the prize for "Rubberstamper President".

He did veto a few things:

Quote:

1. Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005
2. US Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability 2007
3. Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007
4. Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007
5. Water Resources Development Act of 2007
HR 1495
6. Appropriations: Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, 2008
HR 3043
7. Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007
HR 3963
8. National Defense Authorization Act for FY2008
HR 1585
9. Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008
HR 2082
10. Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
HR 2419
11. Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
HR 6124
12. Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act of 2008

Wasn't that some kind of record?

Before the democrats won 2 years ago, for bush's first 6 years, he didn't veto a fucking thing. THEN he started vetoing stuff.

Someone got the blues over this one.
