They are just getting started on excuses. The first up will be we don’t own the White House sorry. If they should stumble into winning it in 2016 they will claim they don’t have a veto proof senate, next will come but the law says xyz and who are we to change that...
It is not about excuses. It is about the Constitution. Power is divided. Soetoro is still POTUS. He can veto anything he doesn’t like. It takes 2/3 vote to override a presidential veto.
In order to get real significant change, you need to have the POTUS and the Congress all on the same page.
The GOP’s impressive win last week changed one thing: Before the election, Harry Reid simply refused to allow a vote on anything he or Soetoro didn’t like. Now Soetoro doesn’t have that luxury or political cover anymore. He will have to use his veto power himself as opposed to relying on Reid to quash everything he doesn’t like.
We still have divided government. That fact will not change for two more years. It’s not making excuses. It’s stating plain and simple facts.
