Let's put the GOP on the hotseat.

Funny thing. New York Times columnist Gail Collins says the public wants to forget all about the first eight years of the 21st century and just blame Barack Obama for wrecking the economy. That's an astute observation. Makes me scratch my head. In wonderment. A sign that we Americans are a very stupid lot. We forget too easily what got us into this mess. The policies of Republicans and the George Bush administration. Because Obama and the Democrats haven't gotten us out of this mess in two years, we blame them for the mess. Such short memories. The thing is if we had left Bush and the Republicans in charge the last two years, things would be much worse. We'd probably be into our second Great Depression. We'd have a heap more unemployment. And Republicans would finally be on the hotseat. As well they should. --Jim Broede
