bush news conference

This morning President Bush had a new conference where he blamed the democratically controlled congress for much of the country's problems.

I am aware that many Americans blame President Bush for the state of the economy, the price of gas, etc. Apparently, these people don't understand our constitution! Congress passes the legislation and the President signs them into laws. If the President vetoes the legislation then Congress can, if the votes are there, override the veto and the legislation becomes law without the President's signature. The President can not enact laws!

For the past 1 1/2 years that the Democrats have controlled Congress. They have done absolutely nothing during that time except blame the administration for everything. They have not passed any major legislation of significance. However, they have tried to enact their old tax and spend method of governing. Those few times when Congress did pass legislation it was legislation that the President said he would veto even before they started debate.

Why does Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Senator Reid continue to bad mouth and jeer the administration instead of passing meaningful legislation? Do they not understand the American public is suffering?

I believe Pelosi and Reid are trying to stall Congress and the American public until we really are in a recession and, of course, they will blame Bush! Someone tell me what Congress has done in the past 1 1/2 years!
