Do we use that same rule and give Obama a pass for rising prices and crappy employment and blame Boehner for all these problems? I like to stay some-what consistent.

Are you kidding me? There is a provable record of what the Dem-completely-controlled Congress passed from 2007 to 2010 and the actual effects of such legislation. The reason that we get creamed is because there is NO MESSAGE out there citing the relationship between the Pelosi-Reid Congress and every economic metric. Most simply accept the premise of "Obama inherited an awful economy" and then attempt to say, "Yeah, but now how is it?"

Republicans right now have JUST the House. In 2007, ALL of Congress was controlled by the Democrats. That is a big difference.

You seem to have blacked out the 2008 election, a huge loss for Republicans. Dems went from 51 to 58 (later 60) in the Senate. Bad memories?

In 2007 and 2008 dems had 51 in the Senate which is not a ruling majority. Nearly all Republicans (here anyway) said that 51 in the Senate is not a ruling majority when that is what Bush had in his first two years,

I like to avoid flipping my arguments 180 degrees every-time power changes hands, as say Hannity does. That would make me dizzy.

YES, I KNOW DEMS DO THAT ALL THE TIME TOO. Obama and Dems will say anything to get what they want.
