When will he be judged solely on the merits of his own actions? Constantly using the “...well, Bush did this or Bush did that” argument is intellectually lazy and irresponsible. Believe it or not, just because someone criticizes Obama does not imply they were not critical of Bush. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Alex from New York,

There was no transparency here. The President, either lied to us about this being an emergency, or he was derelict in his duties as he(and the Speaker) left the helm during this 'emergency'. We are in too much trouble to stick with party affiliations. WE NEED TO HAMMER on all of our representatives RELENTLESSLY until they are working for us instead of rich failures in the finance & banking industries. How we could give them money without demanding resignations is BEYOND me. Failure needs to be punished in the marketplace. Period! Check-out <a href="http://www.downsizedc.org," rel="nofollow">www.downsizedc.org,</a> they have a free campaign who's goal is to make all the representatives READ EVERY BILL before they vote!

But of who or what? He says the government but doesn't it seem to indicate it is of us? After all, he does see us and the government all in one. Obama did promise transparency. But of who or what?
