conix -- uhh, no -- perfectly botched attempted parallel

the main thrust of the 'dubya's fault' thing was, of course, the economy dubya left in ruins and still in rapid further decline -- the proper parallel would have been "Like Obama gets credit for the good economy now?"

which actually, for the most part anyway, he does, and deservedly so

just like dubya deservedly took and takes blame, for the most part anyway, for the effects of his late/end of term crash which only bottomed shortly into Obama's first term and the effects of which lingered for years after -- indeed, to an extent, at least in terms of its net impact on our national debt, continue now and will continue to linger well into the indefinite future

conix, let's revisit your support for term limits for congress again. Consider

Term Limits Don't Work

States that have tried limiting lawmakers' time in office aren't better off.

[...]

Newly elected legislators tend to be more partisan and ideological than their more seasoned colleagues. Long-serving lawmakers often
become more understanding of the rival party and learn how to find workable compromises. Novice legislators, fresh from the campaign
trail, often see the other party as an enemy. This can greatly inhibit the coalition-building needed to pass budgets and meaningful laws.

What say you to that article? How would congressional term limits be implemented?

Note: You have at least three favorite tactics to avoid non-partisan rational debate. Try to avoid using either one this time.
