I can understand the concern. Really. However, the majority has spoken and it's time to give them their due. The conservative House should not be an obstruction, true there are some that aren't really conservatives but whack jobs that won't get in line. However, the majority should give Obama what he wishes, thus the liberals. The electoral count gives him a mandate. Let his and their will prevail.
In the meantime, figure out what's important and prepare for the next election.
If his plans, ideologically based as they are succeed, tough luck. If they fail, be ready. No 'obstruction labels' will work.
Obamacare takes hold this year, increases in 2014. Sequestration will kick in soon, January or shortly there after. Unless of course, a grand compromise is worked out before recess.
I beg to differ. The house was left with the GOP in power specifically to obstruct the President's agenda. If voters wanted to give obama free reign, it would have given both houses of Congrss to the Democrats.
I disagree. Seems beyond time to let the president do what he wishes. He and his party then live with the results. Oh yeah, the country too, after all, they gave him a mandate.
While I see some value in giving him what he wants in order to permanently invalidate Progressive policy, I really worry that the country can not recover from 4 more years of an unrestrained obama Presidency.
