We're in the middle of a painfully slow and uneven economic recovery that is happening despite the Republican's constant and concerted efforts to hinder it.
That it's happening at all, in light of the unprecedented and treasonous obstructionism, is testament both to the American economy's resilience and President Obama's leadership.

You had total control of Congress from 2008 to January 2011. You screwed the pooch by ignoring the economy and pushing forth social issues and Obamacare which caused your party to lose the House. They will lose the Senate in another six weeks.
With record numbers of people on welfare and 25% of those in the age 25-54 demographic OUT OF WORK, there isn't a damn recovery happening.

That is a blatant lie. Democrats NEVER had control of Congress. Despite the track record of the GOP, the President did try to reach some kind of accord, apparently failing to grasp that the GOP is full of crooks and lackeys so hellbent on keeping power that they don't care who is hurt by their policies...witness the Senate filibusters and failure to approve nominees...the Hastert rule in the House...the constant threat and then the reality of government shutdowns...the birthers...the accusations that people on the left viewed Obama as the "messiah"...the 24/7/365 lie machine that is FAUX NEWS. The right-wing agenda has been, since January, 2009, to undermine every effort of Obama to improve the lot of the majority of people in this country...with no regard whatever to the harm done to our citizens.

When Obama was elected Dems had both
Houses of Comgress. It's a freaking fact. That is how Obamacare was passed in 2010 and by passing it over the objections of everyone before the bill was read caused Dems to lose the house in the 2010 elections. Don't worry you'll lose the Senate this election.
