But that's okay with you because it was Democrats who were obstructionist.

 RS> HOWEVER...

And here we go with the usual left-wing whine...

 RS> Today's GOP is obstructing EVERYTHING.

No, they had their own plans, but the Democrats didn't want to even consider them.

 RS> *EVERY* democrat bill gets filibustered.

No, only the bills that spend hundreds fo billions, even trillions on new
entitlements. How will the Dem's pay for all this?

Same thing happened when Bush was in office only from the other side of the aisle.

How about that class act, Harry Reid who claims the Repubs want to
"make love to Wall Street?" How about Senator Chris
"Nationwide" Dodd authoring a financial reform bill?

You are a useful idiot for the "progressives" by pointing to the
supposed crimes of the right while totally ignoring the crimes of the left.
I am not saying those on the right are guiltless, I am saying you cannot
see the forest for the trees.
