It's kind of difficult to find someone who approves of the Democrats' weird stuff they come up with in an attempt to look like they're reaching across the isle. This is exactly why I was so skeptical when the Democrats kept preaching they were going to be a Congress of bipartisanship in 2006. Even if they did manage to come to agreement on things, nearly every compromise would look unappealing to both sides.

Really one of the very few things they 'accomplished' (if you want to give it that term), the minimum wage, was just so weak to give an example. It only raised the minimum wage to a measly $5.85 from the previous ten-year reign of $5.15. This is still below the poverty line. It's not supposed to get to the still very-low (but better, no doubt) rate of $7.25 until the summer of 2009. And the Democrats in Congress are celebrating as if this is some grand accomplishment. It's sad to say the least.

But to be fair, I think when one says "Democratic Congress", it's definitely an overstatement. They just barely have a "majority" in the technical sense.
