In the real world, if you don't do something that your boss wants, you're fired.

Sure, the Democrats have a majority, but that majority is not large enough for any meaningful change. As long as the Republicans stick together, little will change. Thanks to Alberto's Whoops-es, that could be changing. Time will tell. Patience people. It took Bush 6 years to create this huge mess. Give Congress more time to fix it. They are, you know. the Senate voted 98-2 to strip the Patriot Act of the free ride to hire new US Attorneys. The House will follw, no doubt about it. Bush has already agreed to roll over on this one. If he doesn't, the bill is veto proof. They are disappointed because they are not realists.
