Blockage..can you say Harry Reid?
HR owns and has created the reputation as he has bought something like 7 out 600 bills to the floor and that is just from the dems.

Reid has supressed discussion and argument and resides over the land where legislation comes to die in the womb.

Congress and the senate do nothing because that is HR's product. He prevents dems from having to cast votes that would make them vulnerable in elections and prevent any hint of disunity in the party.

I don't know why Gallup does these polls. Congressional approval is meaningless unless people are willing to vote out their own representatives, which they aren't. Ergo, meaningless poll.

Then there's the people who talk about the do-nothing congress, or this being the "least-productive congress." I don't understand that. Why does anyone care how "productive" they are? To me it's quality, not quantity. Right now the House is controlled by the GOP. I'd rather they do nothing at all than try to enact their hateful, destructive agenda. Stay home; you do less damage that way.

They were mostly bull**** bills.

Come on... we had 50 repeal Obamacare bills alone.

Only 16% of Americans think Congress is doing a good job.

IMPEACH EVERYBODY!
Obama can now say he doesn't need congress any longer. Oh that's right, he already did that.

"[Obama] has issued the fewest executive orders of any president over the last 100 years. Every Republican president signed more executive orders than Barack Obama has. On an order per day basis, Obama has issued fewer EOs than every single Republican president over the past century."

Republicans Call Him a Dictator, But Obama Has Issued Fewest Executive Orders in 100 Years

Sorry to let a few facts get in the way of your partisan rant. I guess that means all those Republican presidents who bypassed Congress were dictators, too, right?

Harry Reid's Democrat Senate really is a disaster.

At least the People's House passes legislation. Unfortunately, it dies in the Do-Nothing Senate.
