Majority of republicans?

The dems have had the majority in the Senate since the last elections.

Maybe Im being a tad cynical but Im seeing the House and Senate setting the President up for failure and failing, and Im seeing the President manipulating the House and Senate into failing. Or is it the other way around?

Either way Shrub has gotten what he has wanted time after time even with a Dem majority in the Congresional branch.

My brother is a Cook County resident, and a democrat, I wouldnt be suprised if he threw some shoes at Blago.

Liz, Liz, Liz....NOTHING is GW's fault. It is always the fault of Congress for not making him do the right thing...(hmmmm like a nanny?)

So if Congress needs a spine, I guess Bush needs a brain...or at least a conscience!

Horse manure, ES.

Back to the barnyard LH?

Nah, no quite. The manure pile is outside the paddock.

Gov. Blagojevich made an appointment for Obama's senate seat this afternoon, Roland Burris. He is a former Illinois attorney general and comptroller. The afternoon news is saying that he won't be approved by the Senate democratic caucus. I wish they would just look at whether or not the appointee is qualified rather than who is doing the appointing.

[Lady's Human]

At this point, how can you separate who is doing the appointing from the appointee? If you look at the makeup of the Senate, qualifications are pretty much a moot point.
