The Myth of the Filibuster-Proof Democratic Senate

by Andy Cohen on September 11, 2012

"Obviously he had total control for 4 months, then control for close to 2 years...obviously the people did not trust however he
decided to circumvent the the Congress and enact his own version of law...which is another reason Trump is smashing Hillary in the polls"

DrHarleyboy, no surprise, expected you to repeat another Republican lie, actually two lies in that of yours .. on your polls crap Jersey_Boy ..

Republicans have magically, mystically turned 72 days into two full years.

[...]

During those four months and one week, Congress was in session for a total of 72 days. So for 72 days the Democrats held a 60 seat, filibuster-proof supermajority in the United States Senate. But wait! There’s more! As Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn points out, even that was unreliable. “Even in this window Obama’s ‘control’ of the Senate was incomplete and highly adulterated due to the balkiness of the so-called Blue Dog conservative and moderate Democratic Senators such as Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Evan Bayh of Indiana, and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas.”

Zorn continues:

The claim that Obama ruled like a monarch over Congress for two years — endlessly intoned as a talking point by Republicans — is more than just a misremembering of recent history or excited overstatement. It’s a lie.

It’s meant to represent that Obama’s had his chance to try out his ideas, and to obscure and deny the relentless GOP obstructionism and Democratic factionalism he’s encountered since Day One.

They seem to figure if they repeat this often enough, you’ll believe it.

You obviously don't give a rat's ass about the truth, if you did you wouldn't have said what you said.
