I agree - pretty decent comparison. The ability of both parties to waste time while real problems go by without notice is pretty amazing. It's almost like they both do it on purpose.
yeah - ya know... following through on one of your biggest campaign promises and 50 years of fighting on an issue effecting the daily lives of 50+ million Americans - right on par with a finger in the eye resolution about God... yep... apples to apples...
Passing a bill and fixing something are two entirely different things. Yes, he passed a health care bill. But no, he didn't fix the health care problem. I don't recall any campaign promises about passing through a series of bills that, in the end, don't fix the overall problem. And, like Kalm said, in something I actually agree with him on, doing all of this while standing on the sidelines in his best Nero impression and playing the fiddle while the economy burned. Obama's first year in office and his complete ineffectiveness in that year, and almost all entirely due to his inability to manage the Democratic leaders in Congress who really drove the agenda, is the main reason why he's in the mess he's in. Playing around with a solution for health care that, in the end, didn't solve anything, was a waste of time.
