President Bush faulted the Democratic Congress for having done absolutely nothing about the the economy, energy, and housing bills.
“Many Americans are understandably anxious about issues affecting their pocketbook,” Bush said in a White House news conference, held outdoors in an unseasonably cold and windy Rose Garden. “They’re looking to their elected leaders in Congress for action. Unfortunately, on many of these issues, all they’re getting is delay.”
Capitol Hill’s Democratic leaders said Bush was to blame for proposing policies that would worsen the problem, not help, and that it was their duty to reject them.
“His call this morning for Congress to act is disingenuous at best,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said of Bush. “Whether on energy policy, the housing crisis or our many other economic woes, this administration and its Republican allies in Congress offer nothing but the same failed ideas that got us into this mess in the first place.”
Perhaps Harry Reid is too senile to realize this, but the Democrats are the majority party at the moment, so blaming Bush and the Republicans for no forward movement on those issues is just passing the buck when they’re the ones in control. Democrats claimed they would be leaders, but they’ve spent more time as the majority party in front of TV cameras than doing their job. Democrats have proven repeatedly that they are too incompetent to lead, and they try to compensate for their own failures by blaming Bush and the Republican Party.
