Good Idea Mr. President; Let's DO Remember Who Brought Us This Mess!

I'll take your challenge at face value Mr. President. Here goes:

Problem: Sub-Prime Mortgages (NOT derivatives) cratered the mortgage and housing industries. Cause: Sub-Prime Mortgages were Democrats' program AND they were the ones who mismanaged it, thanks primarily to the 'sterling' leadership of that Dynamic Duo, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.

Problem: Economy cratered two years ago. Cause: The Sub-Prime Mortgage mess caused by Democrats.

Problem: National debt is about to bankrupt the country. Cause: While the Republican congress created considerable debt during its 6-year tenure, the Democratic congress, in its past 4 years has created nearly twice as much. (Subtract the Dems' various stimulus programs and you still arrive at an amount of debt equal to Republicans' ... in 2/3 the time.) Both parties created a ridiculous amount of debt but Democrats created more, faster.

Problem: High unemployment. Cause: Cratered economy which was caused by Democrats' Sub-Prime Mortgage fiasco.

Problem: High unemployment has remained high too long. Cause: Democrats' fix didn't help.

Problem: Social Security not far from bankruptcy. Cause: Social Security created and mismanaged by Democrats.

Problem: Medicare not far from bankruptcy. Cause: Medicare created and mismanaged by Democrats.

Problem: Health Care premiums and co-pays are in the process of skyrocketing. Cause: Democrats' National Health Care. That seems odd, by the way, because I thought the whole point of doing health care reform in the first place was some 80% of Americans wanted them to reign in costs so that high quality care could be affordable to everyone. Costs are skyrocketing and quality is about to go in the toilet (thanks to government 'regulation'). What exactly happened to what The People thought they were getting when they voted Democrats into total control of government?

Problem: Education system is among the worst among Western nations. Cause: Democrats created the Department of Education 30 years ago and our education system has declined steadily ever since. 30 years of experimenting with our kids' education by Democrats have taken us from best to worst. (Art Robinson, candidate for US House of Reps District 4 in Oregon was correct ... what we've done in producing uneducated kids, leaving them ill-prepared to compete for jobs in the world market place, IS a kind of child abuse.)

Problem: Illegal immigration STILL not fixed. Cause: Progress stymied by Democrats' insistence on not doing any part of immigration reform unless they could get amnesty included, contrary to the will of The People. They've held ALL immigration reform hostage to approval of amnesty. That's pretty irresponsible, especially now that illegal immigration has created a serious national security problem along our southern border.

If you've just arrived from Mars and don't understand how Democrats could possibly be responsible for all this, consider this. For 30 of the past 60 years, Democrats have held a veto-proof majority (not just a simple majority!) in one or both branches of the legislature. Republicans have held a veto-proof majority exactly ... ZERO times! You can't create much legislation or fix what's broken very effectively if you never have a big enough majority to do so. So, how exactly is it that the party that has NOT had enough political power to cause all these problems gets the credit for it?

Thanks for asking the question Mr. President ... you're correct, we SHOULD throw out the bums who DID cause all these problems! In fact, we're in the process of doing just that! :-)
