Emily: A Democratic President has only been in office 3 1/2 years in the last decade. During the first two years, the Democratic strength in Congress wasn't sufficient enough to reject the filibuster. The fact that President Obama was able to avoid the great depression of 2009 is a miracle. If we all ban together and run the big business paid politicians out of Washington, we will turn this mess around.
