Obama NEVER had a filibuster proof majority. We had 59. We always only had 59. Unlike Repugnicans like you, who do everything in lock step, we actually disagree with each other, not to mention Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Blanche Lincoln and other Blue (lap) Dogs. Also, we have very liberal people on our side such as Bernie Sanders (I). Its easy just to repeat the lies. Its harder to think, but I have faith in you.

So let me get this straight: the guy sells weapons to Americas enemies in return for them *keeping* Americans captive *after* their release had already been agreed to. He puts his own coutnrymen through extra incarceration *for his own political advantage* and then uses the profits of the exchange to murder women and kids. And this guy's "good" and "honest"?1?

HEY REPUBLICAN ASSHOLES- YOU ARE PART OF THE FUCKING PROBLEM BUT YOU'RE BEING PAID TO PROVIDE SOLUTIONS. WHEN THE FUCK ARE YOU USELESS COCKSUCKERS GOING TO START DOING YOUR FUCKING JOBS? WHY NOT GIVE BACK ALL OF THOSE PAYCHECKS YOU GOT WHILE THE COUNTRY SUFFERS? YOU AND THE DEMOCRATS BOTH SUCK DICK. YOU FAIL ON EVERY LEVEL POSSIBLE. YOU MOTHERFUCKERS SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR FUCKING AMERICA. YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF IMMATURE ASSHOLES.

Conservative scream about 'broken promises' and such, knowing of the obstructionism. Many actually believe their own lies. Either Romnesia is very wide spread or they can rewrite their memories.

You are no more than a name calling child. I say again...grow up.

Says the retard denying basic historical facts...

[GrandFunker]

Grow up.

[durhamdf]

what are you blabbering about dipshit, the Republicans used the filibuster 112 times just in 2007 and 2008...That has never happened before in the history of the U.S. congress. You need to pull your head out of your ass and stop sucking on Glenn Beck's dick for two seconds...

[newdimensionfilms]

Maybe there should be a certain number of filibusters that can be used per congress, like timeouts in a football game.

You can say all you want about the Dems having the majority and it's their fault, but then if that's even the least bit true, WHY filibuster everything?!? Plain and simple, obstructionism at it's ugliest. It's exactly as McConnell wanted (and stated). Repuglicans=Obstructionists
