Reid: Hey Berry, the house passed a bill with bipartisan votes Obama: Is it exactly what I want? Reid: No, Berry, not everything. Obama: How dare they. I am president of the United States. Throw the bill in the garbage.
Obama behind closed door: I want "exactly what, period. Republicans won't give me my way.

Obama to the people: Republicans are obstructing.
Republicans don't believe in bipartisanship. If they did, Boehner would have brought the bipartisan immigration bill passed by the Senate to a vote on the floor of the House. He hasn't because he knows it would pass, but only because the Democrats would help it pass, and God knows the GOP can't appear to agree with the left on anything because that would just **** off their rabid base. Maybe we should be suing Boehner for refusing to do his job.
More likely, they will send him bills embedded with poison pills that defund the ACA or dismantle the EPA or something equally odious, and he will veto them. And then they can either remove them and try again, or sit on their asses and whine that the president won't pass their junk bills. I vote for the latter--it's what Conservatives have done for the last four years, and frankly, it's all they seem to know how to do.
Maybe they'll shut down the government again in another petulant temper tantrum or hold another ten hearings on Benghazi. No one expects to see Republicans attempt to do anything that resembles actual governing anymore.
Part of the Friday news dump, House comm. says no issues with Bengh. They will need to create some other issue (to distract the base) and will approve the TPP, which will hurt us all.

The TTP is a trade agreement that largely excludes China which hasn't signed on since it is busy creating its own East Asian minus Japan economic zone. If we don't do it we can look forward to being excluded from the future of trade in the Pacific unless we want to buy from China because that is what China thinks our place in the World going forward should be. We should sit down, shut up and be grateful China wants to sell us anything at all.

Exactly, it's amazing that the American voting public are too stupid to actually see this. I still cannot believe they gave Republicans the Senate.

Senate bill sitting in the house since last year, up or down vote.
I have to have faith lol. As we know the only thing a Democrat senate had was excuses after excuse. Obviously they can't get the job done.
