which spiraled out of control for months?

Puhleeze. Have you forgotten the town halls and the rise of the Tea Party, particularly in the summer of 2009? Have you forgotten "death panels", a very reasonable and beneficial proposal that was dropped from the final bill? Have you forgotten the flap over requiring birth control be included in all policies...well, except for some.

Your other example is equally suspect, given the stone cold incompetent negotiations over taxes (the line in the sand--and campaign issue--was raising taxes on incomes over $250,000 and that's not what we got, was it?), the debt ceiling, the sequester...
