Oh bull sh*t. Why didn't they tell you about over 300 bills (passed by the house - bipartisan) that sits on Harry Reid's desk. Are you so damn dumb that you can't see that Reid acted as Obama's veto bully?

And don't even bother to respond. Everyone is so sick of Democrats dirty politics they don't even hear you anymore.

I find it odd that libs suggest that the House "obstructs" while the Senate "facilitates".

When the republicans take over the Senate, then both houses will suddenly "obstruct".
It's going to be interesting to see just how much ink Obama's pen will hold.

Obstructionism is what saves us from government efficiency.

You certainly have that right.

I doubt we will see any of it though.
The closest they ever come is a promise to be broken later as history has illustrated.

Take immigration going back to the '60s for example.

But some how when Mitch McConnel says he'll work with the President it has a different ring.

When the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress they did not work with the Republicans in any way whatsoever.

The Democrats have been total hypocrites and liars for the entirety of the Obama administration on this issue.

They refused to pass the Republicans' healthcare reform, then dishonestly announced the Republicans had no healthcare ideas at all. They proposed sequestration, then dishonestly blamed Republicans for it. They refused to extend the Bush tax cuts, then announced that Republicans were holding up tax cuts for the middle class. They refused to pass 4 different continuing resolutions funding the government, then blamed Republicans for the government shutdown. They accepted no Republican input on the ACA whatsoever and conducted their planning sessions behind closed doors, then blamed the failure of the rollout on Republicans not working together with them to make it a success.

None of those things are opinions. They are simple statements of facts. When they had the power Democrats showed zero interest in any bipartisan cooperation whatsoever, and then created a narrative of Republicans being obstructionists, when it was in reality they themselves who had not compromised on anything.
