the op is full of shit as usual --
President Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009 with just 58 Senators to support his agenda.
He should have had 59, but Republicans contested Al Franken’s election in Minnesota and he didn’t get seated for seven months.
The President’s cause was helped in April when Pennsylvania’s Republican Senator Arlen Specter switched parties.
That gave the President 59 votes — still a vote shy of the super majority.
But one month later, Democratic Senator Byrd of West Virginia was hospitalized and was basically out of commission.
So while the President’s number on paper was 59 Senators — he was really working with just 58 Senators.
Then in July, Minnesota Senator Al Franken was finally sworn in, giving President Obama the magic 60 — but only in theory, because Senator Byrd was still out.
In August, Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts died and the number went back down to 59 again until Paul Kirk temporarily filled Kennedy’s seat in September.
Any pretense of a supermajority ended on February 4, 2010 when Republican Scott Brown was sworn into the seat Senator Kennedy once held.'
Do you see a two-year supermajority?
hell no because there wasnt one, and the Republicans filibustered over 400 times - supermajority congresses cant be filibustered.
Dishonest F'n Republicans are low life liars.
The End
Boy, those names bring back some memories.
Al Franken, a failed comedian and politician who sexually assaulted women
Ted Kennedy. Mr. drive the car off the pier and let the woman drown and make a call to your lawyer in the morning. Yep, they kept electing him. Oh, and Scott Brown won because he ran against Obamacare. He should have been able to stop the legislation because the liberals in MA were happy with their Romneycare. But alas, the Dims just used Reconciliation to bypass the democratic vote of the people of MA.
Robert Byrd. A former member of the KKK who stayed in office till he was 134 year old and died. Why? It's because if you are democrat you can be a member of the KKK, but if you are a Republican and say, "Don't monkey this up", you are a flaming racist that need to be expunged from society.
Republicans are liars? Well hell, everyone is at least some points in their life, but this can not be said for the list of offenses I have just presented. This takes a special kind of gutter group of dregs of society to be elected as a democrat to Congress.
