The Right wanted no part of Obama from day one ala McConnell how can you say the Left doesn't compromise? obstructionism is the hallmark of this House That claim is absurd and one that only could come from being sucked in by the liberal media like the NYT. The obstruction was totally on the parts of Obama and Reid. And I think this will be evidenced by a flood of legislation with the new Congress covering Obama's desk with stuff he'll either have to sign or veto. But when he vetos it, it will be evidence who the doing the obstructing. Honestly, I think no objective observer could accuse the Republicans of obstruction over the last six years. Do you realize that in the last six years there has been exactly ONE "annual budget" voted on? Whose fault is that? You blame that on Republicans? The Republicans have proposed legislation time and again which has not even been brought to the Senate floor -- hundreds of bills. The Republicans haven't been the problem. I don't like them, either -- but the Dems have been the obstructionists here.

If you want compromise and people that think like Democrats, go out an win an election. (I bet you'll never guess which compromiser said that?) The Right wanted no part of Obama from day one ala McConnell Yes, he said that, but Harry Reid made sure obama was not disturbed for 6 years. how can you say the Left doesn't compromise? Easily. Give proof or links of compromise. None are available. obstructionism is the hallmark of this House McConnell is not the House.

RE:obstructionism is the hallmark of this House Comments like this make me think you might be as retarded as the Kenyan Chimp. The House has sent Dingy Harry HUNDREDS of bills. ====================================== Both sessions have one common attribute: divided power in Congress. To date, Obama has vetoed just two measures through his first six years in office, largely because Senate Democrats protected him from hundreds of bills that died in the Senate after Republicans seized the House in 2011 and broke up the Democratic majority. abcnews.go.com
