I did add that they managed to pass Obamacare in that non-fillerbuster proof senate, so obviously they could have done that with other measures if they really wanted to.
This was probably a fatal flaw for the GOP chances this year, not stopping Obamacare in the Senate.

Since they didn't, I have to belive those job bills weren't as big of a priority as people are claiming now. And yes, a GOOD leader figures out how to work with people who try to block them.
So in your mind congressional republican obstructionism doesn't exist, that these republican public servants are concerned with issues only, and Obama has refused to reach out to them or compromise? That's it??
This is the neatly-packaged "view" of the right-wing media (although they know better).

Even though true, Obama has not said anything about these.

A little bit of both.

But, the approx 90M eligible voters who aren't going to vote at all, think they both suck

so I'd certainly like to rally them ^^^^ to vote Libertarian or at least third party,

and I wonder why they don't...
