I read the headline and immediately thought; with his pin and phone maybe the obozo is going to nullify both houses of congress. He may as well and while he's at it, nullify the supreme court too. They all have proven useless over the past 5 years.

I suspect that Mr. Waldman is clueless about Congress's power to override presidential vetoes. More specifically, the Founding States made the Constitution's Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I to give Congress the power to override presidential vetoes if 2/3 of both Houses vote for an override.

Note that Congress has used this power as recently as Bushes 41 & 43, and also with Clinton.

What this means if that if patriots and former Obama supporters can get organized to elect 2/3 conservative majority control of both Houses by both Democrats and Republicans in the 2014 elections then Congress can repeal constitutionally indefensible Obamacare Democratcare for example, without Obama's signature.

So contrary to Mr. Waldman's arguement about questionable advantages if Republicans win the Senate, there are distinct advantanges if patriots win both the Senate and the HoR.

More of his GARBAGE! Paid for by George Soros...

Editor’s note: Paul Waldman is a contributing editor at The American Prospect and the author of “Being Right Is Not Enough: What Progressives Must Learn From Conservative Success.” Follow him on his blog and on Twitter.

(CNN) — It’s hard to overstate how frustrated Republicans have been over the last few years by their failure to gin up a juicy Obama administration scandal.

They tried with Solyndra and “Fast and Furious,” but those turned out to be gigantic nothing burgers. Well now at last, they may have something, in either Benghazi or the IRS targeting conservative groups. Unlike Benghazi, where even the Republicans claiming it was “worse than Watergate” can’t quite say what the misconduct was (unless you consider squabbling over talking points to be a nefarious and earth-shattering crime), the IRS affair is pretty straightforward.

From what we know, employees in the Cincinnati IRS office singled out conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for extra scrutiny. If that turns out to be true, then it was absolutely wrong and the people responsible should be held to account, as everyone in both parties up to and including President Obama has agreed. But this controversy shines a light on a larger problem in the way our tax system interacts with our political system.

Obama says some IRS employees ‘failed,’ order accountability

I live in Northern Nevada and am not looking forward to the retribution coming our way when Harry Reid isn't Senate Majority Leader anymore.

A new GOP-controlled US Senate is going to beat Nevada's ass like a pinata on Cinco De Mayo in the middle of Dodger Stadium on 'Bat Day'. All I can do is lash myself to the mast and brace myself.

I sure hope that the GOP understands that the sleaze in Nevada is all in the South.

I guess writer Waldman musta liked his plan so he got to keep it (cackle).

Bwahhh! Lowering expectations already. The Washington Compost must be running scared.

In the unlikely event the GOP did take over the Senate, it’d be unrealistic to expect much out of them, but the greatest victory of all would be Dingy Harry shunted off to the sidelines.

They are trying to downplay the inevitable ass-whoopin’ the Democrats are going to get by saying it isn’t even worth winning. How pathetic and predictable.

I’m sure Harry Reid agrees with Waldman.

The repubs still think they are trying to govern the country with the rats. Most rats know that the other side is the enemy and must be destroyed. Very few pubbies see it this way, therefore they will do nothing when they get the majority other than pad their pockets and build up their Rolodexes (aka business as usual).
