Now that the Republicans have once again regained control of Congress and the legislative process can once again be allowed to proceed without Reid blocking everything from the house, Obama will actually have to face bills coming across his desk.
Reid has effectively protected Obama from having to veto bill after bill, so how will Obama react now? Will he now become the Party of No? What are your predictions?
So are you saying that the GOP was the party of No first?
Because they were.
Dems attempted to paint them that way, if that's what you are asking. It's kind of hard to pass legislation when Reid tabled everything that came from the house, so that's a rather unfair attribution.

Nope, Republicans folded their arms and sat out their role to govern and dedicated all their energy to derailing the President in any way possible.
Thats all true.
So please be mature enough to admit it and hope that theyve changed their tune, and that they will work together with Obama.And that he does the same.
But Im now accustomed to partisanship being more important than doing the people's business so pardon my skepticism.

Please stop confusing your misguided opinion with truth unless you plan to back up your statements.
Explain why over 350 bills from the Republican controlled House continue to collect dust on Harry Reid's desk. Many of those had full bi-partisan support, but Harry Reid's agenda was to paint the House Repubs as the party of no, and it appears you swallowed that hook, line, and sinker.
Sounds like sour grapes to me.
Dingy Harry refused to bring over 350 House bills to the floor.
But a third of them were Obamacare repeals.
Edit: I guess now the GOP will finally pass that full repeal of Obamacare. Oh wait, Mitch already swore up and down that KY's exchange wasn't going anywhere.
