We have just begun our real recovery from Bush and let's hope the Republicans don't start us down that path again. There must be some other way for business to make bundles without causing another depression/recession.

Hey, why DID it take so long for Obama and crew to figure out which summer was going to be the REAL summer of recovery? Now that the adults are controlling Congress, maybe we can actually move forward, unless of course Obama becomes the obstructionist Reid played so he wouldn't have to.

you sure ask the stupidest question ... here the answer, that you and your moronic repub-lie-cans don't seem to get ... if obama was allowed to passed the bills that he needed passed, it would have come quicker a long time ago ... when you have morons like you buying everything your master tells you, when you got repub-liecans blocking everything, then it takes longer you idiot... why do you think hes gone another way to get it done... do you republicans ever pull your heads out of your ass???

Really? Biden declared 2010 as the <dramatic voice>"Summer of recovery"</dramatic voice>. That was after the two years where the Republicans couldn't and didn't do anything to stop any economic measures Obama wanted to pass. Now, what did he do during that time? He passed a massive "stimulus" package that was supposed to fund a bunch of "shovel ready" jobs. It didn't stimulate, he later admitted the jobs weren't "shovel ready", and the money ended up in the pockets of fat cats on Wall Street. Oh, and there was something about a healthcare bill in there too. Then, when Republicans took control of the House, his buddy Reid sat on a bunch of bills that passed the House with bipartisan support and refused to even pass a budget for years. And somehow that's the Republicans' fault? True believer, right there.

every bill up to 2010 was filibustered by the right ... yiour view of what happen is comical at best ... the sad part is your to dumb to know any better

Sorry, if a Senator is not yapping on about nothing, it's not a filibuster, it's merely the threat of a filibuster. Reid had the option to force their hand and make them actually do it. He did not.

CNN Poll New Congress Americans not feeling change - CNN.com

30% of Americans think Congress will be more responsive to the public in the new session.

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2015/images/01/05/congress.poll.01-05-2015.pdf

This was very interesting:

Those surveyed in the CNN/ORC poll released on Tuesday also sounded off on the role of government. Their message? Less government and less focus on values.

The government is trying to doing too much that businesses and individual should handle, 58% of Americans surveyed said.

And 55% said the government shouldn't be in the business of promoting traditional values -- or any values, at all.

--------------------------------------------

Imagine how much less government there would be if Republicans stayed out of our bedrooms.

Wow, so 700 or so of CNN's 1,000 viewers think Republicans suck?

Shocked I say!!!!

You know so much that isn't so. But it is understandable when Obama doesn't get it right either, to be nice.

Name one bill that was filibustered that YOU think would have made any difference.

Four Pinocchios for Obama’s claim that Republicans have ‘filibustered about 500 pieces of legislation’

heres is the writing in you own source'''

"Since 2007, there have been 527 cloture motions that have been filed,according to Senate statistics. This is apparently where Obama got his figure. But this tells only part of the story, as many of those cloture motions were simply dropped, never actually voted on, or “vitiated” in the senatorial nomenclature."

the reason why they weren't voted on wasn't becasue they were bad bills... the reason the were n't voted on or debated onwas becasue they new they didn't have the 60 votes to pass it ....they new that if they brought it to the floor it was going to be filibustered ... if they didn't have the votes the Dems knew it would failed .... it would get tossed ... when a bill fails you have to start over... dems were hopeing they would win the senate this time around... to get them passed ... that didn't happen ... its obvious the writer didn't explore that issue why they didn't bring them to the floor... the writer was more concern in trying to make obama out as a liar ... that too he failed at ... especilally if you knew how congress works ....

in the first 2 years of the obama admistration the dems held the majority, not the super majority ...McConnall said he would stop every bill obama tried to have passed ... he did that by ether filibusteribng the bill, or by saying it he would filibustered it if the Dems didn't have the votes in the congress, that way the bill stays in the hopper ... its still active to be brougnt to the floor ... once its been voted on when its brought to the floor and it fails, you have to take it back to the house and start all over ... Harry Reid was trying to stop that by just keeping them in the hopper ... if you want to talk samantic so be it

You're echoing what I said. One side says, "filibuster!", and the other side says, "Okay, we really didn't want to do it anyway". Face it, Reid could easily have called their bluff and forced them to yammer away until they got tired. The filibuster doesn't kill bills, it only delays them.

Hey, why DID it take so long for Obama and crew to figure out which summer was going to be the REAL summer of recovery? Now that the adults are controlling Congress, maybe we can actually move forward, unless of course Obama becomes the obstructionist Reid played so he wouldn't have to.

you sure ask the stupidest question ... here the answer, that you and your moronic repub-lie-cans don't seem to get ... if obama was allowed to passed the bills that he needed passed, it would have come quicker a long time ago ... when you have morons like you buying everything your master tells you, when you got repub-liecans blocking everything, then it takes longer you idiot... why do you think hes gone another way to get it done... do you republicans ever pull your heads out of your ass???

Really? Biden declared 2010 as the <dramatic voice>"Summer of recovery"</dramatic voice>. That was after the two years where the Republicans couldn't and didn't do anything to stop any economic measures Obama wanted to pass. Now, what did he do during that time? He passed a massive "stimulus" package that was supposed to fund a bunch of "shovel ready" jobs. It didn't stimulate, he later admitted the jobs weren't "shovel ready", and the money ended up in the pockets of fat cats on Wall Street. Oh, and there was something about a healthcare bill in there too. Then, when Republicans took control of the House, his buddy Reid sat on a bunch of bills that passed the House with bipartisan support and refused to even pass a budget for years. And somehow that's the Republicans' fault? True believer, right there.

every bill up to 2010 was filibustered by the right ... yiour view of what happen is comical at best ... the sad part is your to dumb to know any better

You know so much that isn't so. But it is understandable when Obama doesn't get it right either, to be nice.

Name one bill that was filibustered that YOU think would have made any difference.

Four Pinocchios for Obama’s claim that Republicans have ‘filibustered about 500 pieces of legislation’

heres is the writing in you own source'''

"Since 2007, there have been 527 cloture motions that have been filed,according to Senate statistics. This is apparently where Obama got his figure. But this tells only part of the story, as many of those cloture motions were simply dropped, never actually voted on, or “vitiated” in the senatorial nomenclature."

the reason why they weren't voted on wasn't becasue they were bad bills... the reason the were n't voted on or debated onwas becasue they new they didn't have the 60 votes to pass it ....they new that if they brought it to the floor it was going to be filibustered ... if they didn't have the votes the Dems knew it would failed .... it would get tossed ... when a bill fails you have to start over... dems were hopeing they would win the senate this time around... to get them passed ... that didn't happen ... its obvious the writer didn't explore that issue why they didn't bring them to the floor... the writer was more concern in trying to make obama out as a liar ... that too he failed at ... especilally if you knew how congress works ....

in the first 2 years of the obama admistration the dems held the majority, not the super majority ...McConnall said he would stop every bill obama tried to have passed ... he did that by ether filibusteribng the bill, or by saying it he would filibustered it if the Dems didn't have the votes in the congress, that way the bill stays in the hopper ... its still active to be brougnt to the floor ... once its been voted on when its brought to the floor and it fails, you have to take it back to the house and start all over ... Harry Reid was trying to stop that by just keeping them in the hopper ... if you want to talk samantic so be it

note, you did not name one bill just repeated what has be parroted many times before.

TARP, The Stimulus packages, Wall Street Reform, all passed, what else did Obama want?

The transition from the democrat despotic rule isn't a week old and they are blaming every ill they caused the country on the Republicans. Wait a sec they have been doing it for the last 8 years.

The time they allow for the president to actually help the economy recover will elapse the moment the Republican is inaugurated in Jan '17.
