Re: Obama survives, prepares for general election
The best thing the Dem's have down since taking over Congress with a slight majority 16 months ago was pushing Bush into lame-duck status. The fact is, the Dem's with only a slight majority and not having the White House limits what they can do. They simply do not have the power to repair all which Bush has wrecked. Without the two-thirds majority in Congress required to defeat a Bush veto the destruction by the Republican White House will remain until an Obama Presidency can start the clean up in January 09. But thankfully Congress now has the power to limit any additional damage that can be done by the Republicans.
