Sadly, neither is the case. The GOP controlled both the WH and the Congress for six years. Any legislation that failed to pass, they must not have wanted to pass very badly. Just replace "GOP" with "Senate Democrats" and your statement will be true. It is not my opinion, it is a verifiable fact: "The 49-member Senate Republican minority has done something no Senate minority in American history has ever done: they’ve filibustered more bills than any Congress ever has — and they broke the record with a full year to spare. The latest came this morning, when the Senate GOP filibustered an omnibus budget bill, the 62nd Republican filibuster since the 110th Congress began in January." thecarpetbaggerreport.com
