It is funny, and kind of sad, that the media keeps going with this story line again and again.
What did the Senate ever do to pass legislation when one party didn’t have 60 votes? It’s like the media just assumes that you can’t pass any legislation unless you can do it with single-party domination?
Instead, why aren’t the media running the story that Obama will have to go back to what he pledged in the campaign, and actually WORK with Republicans to pass a bill.
That was always the “right” thing when the Republicans were in charge — but the media gives Obama a pass when he says he can’t accomplish anything unless he has a bullet-proof democratic majority in the Senate.
