I think it is amazingly hypocritical that Republicans tend to forget they ahd the Congress for six of Bush's administration and the Democratic Party was not in major control of either the House or Senate. It is amusing that the GOP has such little faith in the intelligence of the American Public that they think we don't notice that it was Republicans that took the budget surplus and built a bigger government than Clinton had.
It was a Republican Congress that built in so much Pork and earmarks and let corporations write legislation of their own companies.
But the polls should show these corrupt politicians that they can't get away with their lies anymore. The public is behind the President. And Congress, Democratic AND Republican is at an all-time low. You can't fool all the people all the time as the GOP believes.
