of a year. Anything that occured prior to Obama - especially if it reflects poorly on noted GOPs, is irellevant, egregious....and just downright sour grapes. It's a whole new shouting day for the GOP now. Their slates were swiped clean, on the day Obama was inaugurated. For instance, on 1/19/09 "deficits didn't matter". But on 1/20/09, deficits magically transformed into the potential ruination of us all. Anyone who obsesses over history (meaning more than 9 months past) is just a ding-dang George-hater, and that's all there is to it.
