Revisionist history at its finest.

Yeah watching the spin on cable news has been hilarious. (I keep telling myself I'm going to quit watching cable news....but I just can't help myself)
All of the republican spin doctors keep talking about how the democrats have controlled congress for the past 2 years and this is happening on their watch........I'm like WTF??
Repubs controlled congress from 1994-2006 and the White House from 2000 until now....and now that everything's falling apart it's the Democrats fault?
Not to mention, since the dems took over congress in 2006, the republicans have filibustered or the President has vetoed every significant piece of legislation they've tried to pass, and then the republicans go on TV and blame the democratic congress for not accomplishing anything in the past 2 years.
