How were the Democrats able to get their way on Obamacare but not taxes? It seems Democrats just never are responsible for anything.

I'm sure I don't have to actually explain this to you, do I? You could repeat the political facts and history a thousand times with a thousand pages of documentation and they would come back with the same points tomorrow, why didn't Obama just do anything he liked. It's a bizarre kind of echo chamber where proven facts just don't enter into it. Mention the filibuster in the Senate and you'll probably get a blank stare in return. Mention that tax changes have to pass the Senate, same response. That's what happens when people post all day about politics but don't bother with details that might derail their pre-drawn conclusions.
