BUSH-REPUBLICANS DESTROYED AMERICA, AND OBAMA IS DOING A GREAT JOB FIXING IT Between Jan 20 2001-2009 under Republican's leadership and policies of deregulation and a 15% tax rate for wealthy people: Dow Jones plunged 25% from to 10,587 to 7949 Gasoline tripled from 1.44 to 4.11 per gallon on July 11, 2008 Unemployment doubled from 4.2% to 8.2% National debt doubled from 5.7 trillion to 10.6 trillion Budget went from a 236 billion surplus to a 1.2 TRILLION deficit (a 1.4 trillion drop) Losing 700,000 jobs monthly Economy in total freefall (Republicans try to confuse people by saying democrats took over in Jan 2007 and started the recession, but they can not name one thing democrats did to hurt the economy. All experts state the housing crisis started in 2006 and all subprime loans had already been made under a republican congress and president) SOURCES: BUSH OVERSAW A DOW JONES THAT PLUNGED 25% OVER 8 YEARS (Source: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=^DJI) GASOLINE TRIPLED UNDER BUSH

Since there have been 50 states, Republicans have never had 60 senators. There were 60 or more Democratic senators after seven elections -- 1960 (64), 1962 (66), 1964 (68), 1966 (64), 1974 (61), 1976 (62) and 2008 (60, following Arlen Specter's discovery that he is a Democrat and the protracted Minnesota recount).

Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao, the unlikely congressman from New Orleans, is facing the perils of bipartisanship unlike any other lawmaker in Washington - trying to please a heavily Democratic constituency while relying on core conservatives for money to fuel his campaign.

At the beginning of President Obama's heath care summit with a bipartisan group of congressmen, two opposing camps of activists gathered their signs, lab coats and megaphones to rally across the street from Blair House, the site of the half-day meeting. The two groups railed against each other on 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, trying to drown each other out with shouts of "Medicare for all!" and "Kill the bill!" But both sides had one large point of agreement: neither support the bill in its current form.

President Obama and Congressional leaders from both parties meet to discuss health reform at the Blair House in Washington, D.C. Opening remarks by President Obama, Sen.

The White House has no plans to give up on its blame-Bush strategy. A White House adviser says that George W. Bush and his policies created "the hole we're in," and President Obama will keep reminding the country of the economic "mess" he inherited. Obama takes frequent jabs at his predecessor for leaving him an economy that was teetering on the brink of collapse, and White House aides say he won't stop anytime soon. At a meeting Wednesday with Senate Democrats, for example, Obama rejected Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln's call for him to move to the center. Obama said, "If the price of certainty is essentially for us to adopt the exact same proposals that were in place for eight years leading up to the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression ... the result is going to be the same.

Evan Bayh, and who declared that if the 2010 elections don't turn out right he would be "cleaning my guns and getting ready for the big show."
