The dems have controlled the senate by majority since 2007... it's not supposed to be a rubber stamp for either party.

What an idiot you are.....More Dems in the HOR, a tie in the Senate with the tiebreak being a rogue Liebermann who ran as an independent but had been a dem for his entire career.

Get a clue and get your head out of your posterior.

He had pretty much carte blanche and never got a budget passed either....that is a LACK of LEADERSHIP

Idiot!

Sorry to call your bluff but none of the Tea Party people entered Congress until January 2011 as a result of the 2010 elections where the Obamaites were refuted.

From Jan 2009 to Jan 2011 here was the make up of the Congress as Obama took office:

The One Hundred Eleventh (111th) U.S. Congress -- the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives -- meets from 6 January 2009, to 3 January 2011.

It began during the last few weeks of President George W. Bush's administration, which ended with the inauguration of Barack Obama on 20 January 2009.

In the 4 November 2008, elections, the Democratic Party increased its majorities in both chambers. See Party In Power• Senate: 55 Democrats; 41 Republicans; 2 Independents - Illinois and Minnesota "vacant"
• House: 256 Democrats; 175 Republicans

So as usual, you have no clue. Obama and the Dems controlled Congress and the WH....so why did so little get accomplished aside from social engineering (reversal of Don't Ask Don't Tell) and Obamacare was shoved down everyone's throat. Your credibility was BAD, but now it is worse. It is ZILCH.

No, this is actually par for her. I'm surprised she didn't post some kind of porno pics.

Actually, it was FOUR years, two with President Barack Hussein Obama.

In the 110th Congress, (Jan. 2007 to Jan. 2009)the breakdown in the House is 239 Democrats (including four Delegates) and 200 Republicans (including the Resident Commissioner).

The Senate has 49 Democrats; two Independents, who have aligned themselves with the Democrats; and 49 Republicans.

In the 111th Congress (Jan 2009 to Jan. 2011) the current party breakdown in the House is 233 Democrats and 202 Republicans.

The Senate had 57 Democrats 2 independents who vote with the Democrats and 41 Republicans

In the current, 112th Congress (Jan. 2011 to Jan. 2013) the current party breakdown in the House is 191 Democrats and 241 Republicans and 3 vacancies.

The Senate has 53 Democrats and 47 Republicans and 2 Independents who caucus and vote with the Democrats.

Didn't President Barack Hussein Obama campaign on being so good at reaching across the aisle? Hmmmm...I guess not so much.

Try again Dreamsglore.

You believe that the country should be run like Cuba or North Korea with a dictatorship?

That our country became the greatest nation the world has ever seen using the system you deplore is irrelevant, immaterial and unimportant to you. Why is that?

Dreamsglore...IF the legislation proposed by the Democrats had any merit at all, don't you think the great unifier, President Barack Hussein Obama could have persuaded a few Republicans to vote with his master plan?

Do you think it MIGHT have something to do with his arrogance and divisiveness starting from day one. In spite of that he got everything he wanted past those first two years. And look where we are...chaos in domestic and foreign policies.

That, as usual, is a completely boldfaced lie. I watched in dismay as Obama continually "reached across the aisle", knowing that he could expect only complete obstruction and every attempt imaginable to discredit him from day one. That is how the right operates...dirty tricks, propaganda, smear tactics. You're current profession is a great example.

I'm glad to see you finally admit, Markle that your party has no interest in what's best for the American people but rather w/ personality contests w/ the President. No, he didn't get everything he wanted. You can spin that garbage about chaos and foreign domestic policy but he got a Nobel Peace Prize. No matter what you say the rest of the world apparently feels differently. LOL!
