I just got one of those rabid "Obama broke all his promises and the world is blowing up because he a secret Muslim" people to admit that the 110th Congress has essentially shut down governance over the last four years. I actually got her to read a record of the 110th's fillibustering. I'll be damned.

(37,364 posts)actual legislative process and after a gazillion "yeah, buts" asked her if she READ any of this information. Apparently she finally read some of it last night and this morning I pointed out that little bit of obstruction they pulled with the vets job bill. She's a big military rah-rah type and that upset her a bit. Her only response after that was that we just can't keep blaming Bush for everything. To which I just replied that I don't just blame Bush. I blame Cheney too and a congress that ceded its war powers and allowed two wars, one of which was unnecessary, to be conducted off of the books. I haven't heard from her yet on that.

(5,534 posts)It is a step but unfortunately, the follow-up reaction is usually to say that it is a good and noble cause to block all of those harmfull socialist policies.
