Why, in Spite of Everything, I Still Love Obama

The same words (deals) used when Democrats want something.  

They're there to be bought off.  Every last one of them.  On both sides of the aisle.

It's amazing the bullchit excuses that DLC-contro­lled Democrats come up with to excuse their not doing the People's business, but MORE amazing is the ig_nor_anc­e of an electorate that isn't informed enough to know when they're being l!ed to.

HarryReid has had no problem forcing the GOP to actually filibuster when it's something that the DLC wants & perceives it needs. For example, when Democrats needed unemployme­nt benefits to continue because the masses were becoming 'critical'­, Reid had no problem calling Republican Jim Bunning's bluff to filibuster­. Reid said, "Bring in the cots, do it" and Bunning and the GOP caved. Benefits for unemployed workers continued.

Senate rules can be changed at any time, and not just at the start of a new Congress - It can be done at any time (see page 6 - http://fpc­.state.gov/documents­/organizat­ion/45448.­pdf ).

Nor is there just one way (or even two) for Democrats to get bills passed without Republican votes.

Democrats have had everyone they need to do the job they were put into power to do for the American people. They don't want to do it.
