[QUOTE="HBGPreloader, post: 1856527, member: 19782"] Again, why is that? In 2007, the democrats won majority control in congress - and bush, pretty much, approved everything they sent to him. In 2009, not long after he was sworn in, obama wa granted a filibuster-proof super-majority (with the help of 2 alleged independents). And, thanks to this super-majority, the democrats the power to do anything they wanted - without any republican interference. So, what happened? Why didn't they raise the minimum wage? Why didn't they fix these free trade agreements? Why didn't they address campaign finance and political contributions? Why didn't they grant illegals amnesty, address discrimination, women's rights, etc? If the bailouts and stimulus weren't big enough, why didn't they make them bigger? Again, they had the absolute power to do anything they wanted. And, if the republicans tried to "interfere", the democrats could have, simply, told them to shut up and sit down. So, I ask again what happened? [/QUOTE]
