Oh please Gary, how convenient to ignore the 8 long years of despicable democrat behavior of George Bush.  Democrats have zero room to feel good about any of their behavior of their enemies in the republican party.  The fact that anyone could ever feel proud of the actions of the likes of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and all their followers and call it statesmanlike is comical. 
Neither party has any room to act like they give a rip about the public other than to get reelected.  And please stop trying to pretend that Obama cared anything about anyone who did not vote for the D's on the ballot
