55. Indeed ...I too blame Clinton for the financial meltdown...

Wed Feb 15, 2012, 06:11 PM

Feb 2012

...and the loss of a lot of jobs ...and the destruction of Haiti's rice production.

On another point I find it discusting that some here are just fine with lock stepping which the GOP has been attacked for. What's even worse for DU is that there is an effort to quash any real discussion about anything Dem elected officials that might have done or is blatantly wrong. I may understand why someone who says they won't vote Dem may be attacked but those who are trying to quash discussion over matters of the truth are hurting DU ...and many have already decided to either go elsewhere or will no longer engage here. I'm staying here just to see what happens to those that are helping to screw up DU. I hope those in charge do something about it soon and if they don't then that says a lot.
