17. One drawback to controlling both houses of Congress
not to mention the judiciary, etc...

is that there's no one else to blame. Oh sure, you can blame Democrats or whoever, but when people start taking a hard look and they realize that although Dems may have gone along with some parts of it, the key things were initiated by your administration and your congress and your party, and it's hard to blame anyone else for what went wrong.

If Dems had one of the houses of Congress we might not be in this mess overall, but it actually would be easier for Bush because he could toss the blame elsewhere. As it is, there's no one to blame but himself.

Suck it up, George.
