and lets also assume the repubs have enough to fillubuster in the senate. THEN WHAT?

Repubs will block any legislation that helps the country so that they can get the WH in 2016. Then alot of legislation will have to be watered down in order to defeat a fillubuster and then the PL and other liberals will bash the new president for not being libreal enough

What difference does it make who is the dem president if the senate is NOT fillubuster proof. We will get the same results over and over.

Many DUers who hate Obama won't admit this but that's the way it will be. No president is a king and can pass legislation without congressional approval. And don't tell me that another liberal dem will get the repubs/tea party to lay their arms down and will simply go along with a 100% pure progressive agends or not be willing to take the country off a cliff unless they get their way.
