He's gotten more done than this bunch has managed in a years time, that's for darn sure. These are just the Iraq war policy failures, what about the rest of the abandoned agenda from the vaunted first hundred days? Zilch.
Democrats zero for 40 on Iraq -
Jim VandeHei and John F. Harris - Politico.com: "As the congressional session lurches toward a close, Democrats are confronting some demoralizing arithmetic on Iraq. The numbers tell a story of political and substantive paralysis more starkly than most members are willing to acknowledge publicly, or perhaps even to themselves. Since taking the majority, they have forced 40 votes on bills limiting President Bush’s war policy. Not a single one has passed both chambers, even though both are run by Democrats."That one was vetoed by Bush.
Indeed, the only war legislation enacted during this Congress has been to give the president exactly what he wants, and exactly what he has had for the past five years: more money, with no limitations.
Disapproval of the Democratic majority in Congress has risen steadily, albeit with no corresponding increase in enthusiasm for Republicans.Even more notably, public opinion about the war — while still dominated by opposition to a military adventure most people think was a mistake — has risen modestly in recent weeks, according to several nonpartisan polls. continued
