It seems you think there should be more to it than what there is (you're seeing things that aren't really there except what you perceive through your own delusion), hence your ramblings of obstruction by Repubs, and yet as Medved states He (Obama) got approval for his stimulus package, Obamacare, Dodd-Frank banking regulation, and all his major initiatives. So I ask again, where is Medved missing anything?

Surely you aren't going to bring up the fact that Reid doesn't allow for Republican amendments or even allow House Bills that are sent to the Senate being allowed a vote, are you? Are these some of those half truths you are leaving out? That must be your forte, no?
!) You totally missed what I said about salesmen. Figure it out.
2) I'm sure you are aware of the republican poison pill amendments they have been utilizing for four years. Oh wait - Fox. How would you possibly know...

1)Salesman? You are f'n clueless. The salesman here is you, attempting to lay all blame on Republicans vs seeing what your own is actually doing, but "don't look behind the curtain....I am the all powerful OZ", Sorry little man, curtain has been opened and you are what the world sees, partisan ignorance. SMFH

2)You might try the Democrat poison pills as well, imjusayin.

each party adding language that infuriates the other. As a result, the Democratic-led Senate and Republican-run House are writing legislation that dies right away or is assured of going nowhere in the other chamber. Instead of laws, the bills generate grist for fundraising pitches and campaign attack ads.
Poison Pills Prevent Popular Bills From Becoming Law
Again, you're nothing more than a partisan blind lemming.

And yet bills still get through like VAWA which couldn't if they didn't have Republican support, gofigur.
