  1. i think its hilarious that the republicans like benson who fought so hard and wanted so much for Obama to not do well, are not pointing a finger at him for not being able to accomplish as much as he wanted. Checks and blances- understand the concept to understand why our government functions (or not).

  2. No I do not, but you said “veto-proof” in your original post.

    I think he and the Dems thought the Repubs would be fans of the normal legislative give and take and not take the low road of cutting them off. Big mistake in hindsight since the Repubs don’t give a s h i t about the country, only about partisan politics.

  3. Benson, it’s the president that vetoes. The repubs blocked everything. THe dems had a filibuster-proof majority for a very short time, during which they were reluctant to play hardball.
