15. I agree with waiting him out. That's why any concessions Dems give them are so frustrating

as well as their unwillingness to obstruct the GOP.

I seriously think Baby Bush went so all out because they knew that might be their last chance in the driver's seat.

If Dems had thrown even the subtlest obstacles in their path, they might have done far less damage and withered on the vine a lot sooner.
