“Democrats are failing in their responsibility to make tough decisions and spend the people’s money wisely,” Bush said in his weekly radio address.

“.....spend the people’s money wisely.....”

Like you did?

Bush has spent like a drunken sailor and couldn't muster the strength to lift his veto pen for 8 years. And on immigration he got in bed with Teddy Kennedy, thankfully it was conservative Republicans who killed the bill.

Sorry, W - we gave you plenty of chances. Your words are empty now...

The White House has said the failure of a broad immigration overhaul was proof that Democratic-controlled Capitol Hill cannot take on major issues.

Awwwwww. They didn't get 'a Congress we can work with' after all in 06.

Maybe if this White House would do the job they were elected to do, instead of pushing the globalist agenda, they wouldn't have these problems.

“President Bush accused Democratic lawmakers on Saturday of being unable to live up to their duties,”
And what about your f-ing responsibility to protect our borders Mr. President?

Good to hear. Let’s hope we can make the Bush tax cuts permanent.

We don’t elect members to Congress to do the will of the President or what is good for the entire country. We elect them to represent the views of their district and to vote as their constituents would want them to vote. If a Congressman knows that their is a vote up, and it would be something that would be for the good of the nation, and if it fails, it could harm the nation as a whole, but it is unpopular at home, well, if he puts the national good above what his constitutents want, he deserves to be defeated.

By the same token, if there is something up that will hurt the nation, but benefit their home area, to be quite honest, if they don’t put what benefits their home area above what is best for the nation, they are failing in their responsibilites to the people who elected them.

And they ceetainly aren’t there to be the national rubber stamp for any executive. And if the voters of a district don’t particularly like the President at the time, then, their representatives have a duty to tear into said President. Just because the President today is someone I voted for doesn’t make this less true than it was when Clinton was in office.

Besides, gridlock is good for the country, cause it ensures no major harm cna be done.

Bush rips Democratic lawmakers' failures
By JENNIFER LOVEN

Jennifer Loven's husband was an advisor to John Kerry's campaign....read her "news" reports with that in mind!

I would like for anyone on this thread to provide for me their solution to this country’s immigration problems. Don’t simply state round up all the illegals and deport them. Provide specifics on not only how you identify who the illegals are, but also how you “round them up” in order to remove them from this country, especially in light of the fact that there are so many Americans who will not support doing this. You people who keep bashing the President because he understands the complexities of this problem and knows that there is no way to accomplish what you are demanding need to stop and think before engaging your mouths. This problem didn’t happen overnight, and there are no quick and easy solutions to immigration reform, despite what some of you want to have happen.

So, again, I ask - give up your plan to solve this problem or shut up. Stop living in your fast-food “I want things done my way and right now” world and join reality. Put your money where your mouth is and YOU solve this problem instead of just bashing someone for at least attempting what President Bush sees as the best alternative (no that doesn’t mean I agree with Bush’s plan). President Bush at least has the courage to put forth a plan. What have any of you done?

President Bush should just veto any budget that doesn’t include enough money for Iraq for at least a year and make sure he has 34 Republicans that will sustain the veto.

What kind of budget is it that only had one-third subject to review each fiscal year, while the other two-thirds is on automatic-spending pilot? If we did that kind of budgeting, the US government would implode because we wouldn’t have enough money to send them our taxes.
