Bush senior had a Democratic controlled congress and he couldn't deal

He just kept whining about GRIDLOCK. He campained for re-election telling

things done.

Well... The voters essentially ran him out of town on a rail. They did
elect a
Republican dominated congress, and the new Democratic president had no
problem
passing more legislation in his first year, than the previous
administration
passed in it's full term. Clinton never once whined about GRIDLOCK when
faced
with a congress that was controlled by the other party. He worked with
them
effectively. Thats what a good president does.

Would you care to cite some of the meaningful pieces of legislation that
were passed *after* the 1994 midterm elections during the Clinton
administration? Please feel free to highlight those items that were
either Clinton or Democrat initiatives, Charlie.

Anyone who cries "GRIDLOCK" as an excuse is simply declaring their
incompetence,
and inability to act in a bi-partisan manner.

Bipartisanism: (GOP version) Both sides cooperating in such a manner as
to achieve common goals.
Bipartisanism: (Dem. version) Republicans thinking like us Democrats.

The two sides can't agree on how to fix social security. The two sides
are diametrically opposed w/r/t amnesty for illegals (of course Bush is
behaving like a Democrat on this issue). And the far right wing isn't
going to give in on abortion or embryonic stem-cell research. So exactly
where do you see "bipartisan" cooperation, CWM?

And why do you think gridlock is automatically a bad thing? Do we need
another 300 laws and spending programs each session of Congress? Do we
need to amend those laws and rules that have functioned adequately for the
past 200 years. The old saying, "idle minds are the Devil's workshop,"
applies to Congress in spades.
