The Democrats screwed up from '09-'15

After Obama’s big 2008 victory we let the minority Republicans and blue dog Democrats dictate things in the name of bipartisanship....that resulted in a watered down economic relief package and a watered down health care plan....also the minority Republicans held up everything in the Senate to include federal judicial nominees with so called blue slips, but the Democrats thought that this was Democracy in action and let their colleagues from the other side do it....and when the Republicans finally took over in 2015 that was the ball game

 :whatever:

Rewriting history is something the left loves to do. Obama squandered a congressional majority on his failed health care plan.

The Democrats screwed up from '09-the ongoing Present

After Obama’s big 2008 victory we let the minority Republicans and blue dog Democrats dictate things in the name of bipartisanship (In what perpendicular universe were '09-'15 "bipartisan"? Miss Nancy and Dingy Harry rammed down the Rs' throats whatever they could shepherd fellow Dems into agreeing on.)....that resulted in a watered down economic relief package (Ah, a backdoor euphemized admission that the Obama-conomy was a mediocrity! :rotf:  :tongue: ) and a watered down health care plan (Watered down? It was a financial disaster for almost all forced to use ObamaCare and raised the costs of the health plans of those who did not! OhBummer!Don'tCare cost me $1000-$2000 a year for several years!)....also the minority Republicans held up everything in the Senate to include federal judicial nominees with so called blue slips (They used one of the tactics the Dems used systematically against G. H. W. Bush's and G. W. Bush's judicial nominees? :rotf:  :tongue: ), but the Democrats thought that this was Democracy in action (In what perpendicular universe? :rotf: ) and let their colleagues from the other side do it....and when the Republicans finally took over in 2015 that was the ball game (Maybe OhBummer! should have invested his time and $$ in the Dem Party instead of in himself!)
