Right. Because the Republicans aren't saying the exact same thing. Also during Bush's reign of disaster, the Republicans never used the approach of blaming the Democrats for everything.

Pull your head out of the sand and try to be even modestly objective. This stuff is nothing more than Politics 101.

Thats why it is so interesting out of all the nominees to O'Bama's cabinet that has/had tax problems that Geitner was approved to serve as treasury secretary. He was in charge at "the fed" of overseeing the money in and out of the mortage market. So while he certainly has experience with the current mortage money and market crisis, his appointment tells me that its just more of the same and they want Geitner to keep finagleling the bagel the same way he has been. And it smacks of a huge coverup.

That's right. If every, single, minute facet isn't different from the disaster that just left office the drones yell "Where's the Change?"

you referred to the deliberate misleading of people as "Politics 101".
Obama ran on the premise of "changing Washington".
How the hell is LYING to people a "minute facet"??????? it was the cornerstone of his campaign!
