Gosh, that sounds familiar. Except it goes like this: "It's Bush's fault!!!!" Isn't that what Obama and the democrats do when Obama fails at something? Or the other tactic is to scream "racist" when one voices an unfavorable opinion about Obama regarding his policies, performance, and/or lack of leadership.
So you can't address anything. Got it.

Here how about this: Definition of an obstructionist is Republicans and Harry Reid.
Everything you said applies to Republicans except on a larger scale. This is the result of the initiation of Republican obstructionism, back and forth political stalemate.
If he really wanted to get something done he would have gotten his butt of the golf course and the fund-raising trail, gone back to DC and tried to find a solution.
Or maybe he should just play golf with Boehner & company
This is true. I'm hoping they will join the Libertarian Party - remember that
I'm 41. Not exactly a spring chicken, but not exactly an old dog either (GenX-er here). I'm on board! Sadly, there are too many low information voters in this country, and elections are treated like a popularity contest or a sporting event. The politicians that seem to be "the most Hollywood" win!
I know I know, folks say our votes are wasted. Guess what? Playing the "lesser of two evils game" and voting for the so-called "lesser of two evils" is still a vote for evil.
Seems photos are your response to posts. You let cartoons do the talking for you?? Is that your form of communication? Can't put together a cohesive sentence?

See my post above. As far as getting bills passed, what bills exactly do you want passed?
I don't think it is necessary to list the ones I like out of, I believe 320, the House has sent to the Senate.
How about following NORMAL procedures.
The House passes a bill and it is sent to the Senate.
The Senate Majority Leader, harry reid, DISTRIBUTES each bill to the respective Senate committees. Most bills go to several separate committees.
There the Senators debate the bills. Amendments are offered. Each one is voted on. When the committee comes to a final resolution the bill is voted on by the committee.
Being the dems have the majority in EVERY committee they have the votes to defeat any bill they wish.
If the bill is passed by each committee THEN it goes to the full body of the Senate.
Again, the dems hold the majority and can vote down any bill they wish.
I should NOT have to give a lesson on how the Congress works but, apparently some don't know.
A simple question. WHY WON"T reid let the Senate work as it is designed?
Is he afraid many from his own party members might actually like some of the things in these bills.
Reid is the MAJOR OBSTRUCTIONIST in Congress.
Keeping trying to blame the repubs shows either how little you know or are just a partisan hack.
I showed you mine, how about you show me yours where it's not so??
Neither link backs up your very specific numbers and the second one makes no mention of any percentage other than saying a small portion of bills written by Democrats have been stalled.
Do you have any links that show where you got your very specific numbers?

Congratulations Obama for Successfully Disillusioning Millions of Youth Who Thought He Represented "Change"
