. I don't know how you can have a Democratic Majority in the House, Senate, and the Presidency, and still say, "but nice try blaming the Dems.. "
as i said, the bill and vote was
after the midterms when the Dems didn't have the (house) majority any longer and barely had the senate..add that in with the false "we've been given a mandate"
and the whining that the Dems seats that were now GOP better not be used a majority because they were in essence 'lame ducks'..
and hostage taking
and ticking clock and you get a GOP play, with blame on the GOP..
which you've already admitted to since you said "Obama blinked" ...he couldn't have blinked if the GOP was with him and the Dem majority now could he, since there would be nothing to 'blink' over because they would have all be singing bennie and the jets together..
With that standard, the Democrats can't be held responsible for anything that's happened the past 3 years.
I can blame the Dems for fucking up the health care bill.. so no, I can and do hold them responsible when it's their fault... too bad you can't when it's the GOP.. but being 'borg' I wouldn't expect any less..
Oh right... I can see why you would want to take that angle...
as I've stated before.. Obama got massive shit done.. killed OBL, Al Awlaki and dozens of others, passed a healthcare bill, ended DADT.. etc etc etc.. so I don't know what 'angle' you're thinking I'm taking. You certainly can't be saying I would be embarrassed... because if we were going by a score card here, Obama has really proven to better than Bush ever was.. and we both know that if Obama had an (R) after his name, the hard-on you would have had for him these last 3 years would be chaffing by now.. He's been more (R) than (D) and we both know it, only you can't admit it or you'd lose your (R) card and be jettisoned from the Borg.
