[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 867905, member: 10234"] Well...to keep the blame going......I guess you would have to ask congress. After all, it is their responsibility to provide one. The only thing a president can do is make suggestions and sign it into law(or not) when it comes to his desk. That is one thing he is getting the blame for that is (ultimately) totally out of his control. I guess he could demand that congress act......but we've seen what happens using that tact. Both the House and the Senate, both Dems and Reps, have been derelict in their duties as far as I'm concerned. They will not commit themselves to anything that might hurt their chances of re-election. They are more concerned for their jobs than the well being of the U.S. and if the voters in this country don't take notice, they will keep re-electing the same disfunctional government over and over. That is, with the possible exception of the President. After all......it's a lot easier to blame one person than the hundreds who more deserve the blame. Changing the executive branch does very little when the bulk of the problem lies in the legislative branch. [/QUOTE]
