WHY it is so important to give Obama a Democratic Congress.
   

 
MODS, I have permission from the author to repost this info which I can forward upon request.

It has been repeated here many times that "Obama had a Dem Congress and squandered it". In reality, Pelosi pushed many Progressive bills through the House that failed in the Senate because of Republican obstructionism. One can blame the Senate Leadership as much as one wants, but the fact is that Republicans abused the filibuster rule and we simply did not have the votes we needed.

These bills all passed the House and could be Laws if they had passed the Senate: which they didn't.

2. You're right
   
If he had a Democratic congress, I would get my pony.

I really wish he would get a Democratic congress. It's too bad he's had 3 years of Republicans in the house and senate.

4. I agree. That's why I won't be campaigning for Obama this time.
   
I'll be devoting my campaigning energies to electing a more progressive Dem Congress.
