I am not sure what you are getting at here. Obama had a 60-40 vote majority in the senate, 40/435 in the house and it still took him over a year to pass a Health Reform bill with NO RINO support and with high public disapproval and protests. House Liberals had to swallow the Senate bill which they HATE because it will force rates up and has a mandate for them to buy from private profit companies (yes Virgina, there will be uninsured as rates go up.) . Most people hate it and even the liberal base is demoralized over it. There is little more that could have been done here.
Look back at the power the 2008 election gave him in congress and our expectations of what he would do with it. Republicans stood up to him, maybe not out of true principle, but they did.
Boehner on social security reform/cuts has got me upset. Why is this the first thing to cut? Why is he still leader?
When the Dems decided to “deem” the Obama care bill through, the Republicans should have got up and left the chamber.
The only way to get to the people is media coverage, and you dont get it without drama. Then they could tell America that legislative fraud was taking place.
The Republican Senators walked out on the Dems about 20 years ago, and it was all over the news for 48 hours.
