Mess is of own making

President Barack Obama, in a recent speech, claimed that he and Speaker Nancy Pelosi are busy "mopping up" the mess they "inherited." May I take this opportunity to remind the president and speaker that the Democrats have been in charge of Congress since 2006. All spending bills originate in Congress. Speaker Pelosi was in charge of the House since 2006. Therefore, any mess that is being cleaned up right now is of their own making.
