The founders knew that gridlock is a good thing as far as congress is concerned.
It's Obama that's too fucking stupid to realize that.
You think we've never had a GOP president facing a solidly Dem Congress?
We need to bring back election of senators by state legislatures. It would solve a lot of problems.
The difference is the Democrats have always been willing to compromise. Not so with the current "No Compromise", "Failure of the Obama Preisdency at any cost " attitude of the opposition party.
Yes, President Obama is right. The 113th Congress will be the least productive in history.
Democrats wouldn't compromise with each other on Obamacare, much less the GOP.
As usual you're talking out of your ass.

Gridlock was good for an isolated country of mostly rural farming communities when the fastest communication from one end of the country to the other was horseback. Not so much in the world of instant communications we live in today.
"President Obama is taking a swipe at the Founding Fathers, blaming his inability to move his agenda on the “disadvantage” of having each state represented equally in the Senate."
He's complaining because the system is working as it's supposed to, to curb his power.

Obviously, the nature of the Senate means that California has the same number of Senate seats as Wyoming. That puts us at a disadvantage, Mr. Obama said."
"The president also blamed demographics for the inability of the Democratic Party to gain more power in Congress, saying Democrats tend to congregate a little more densely in cities such as New York and Chicago. He said it gives Republicans disproportional clout in Congress."

Yup, progressive douchebags tend to cluster in a couple of large cities, and they think they should have the authority to dictate what everybody else spread out over the nation is allowed to do.
Too bad.

You would hear the very same tune being sung by a Republican president if the situation were reversed.
Our system of governance was created in a different era. It was a slower era where slow deliberations were fine since transportation and communication were much slower as well. In the fast paced world of today where technology is racing ever faster, a slow-paced governmental response to a fast-changing world puts our country at a disadvantage to others who can more nimbly respond to problems.
Another problem is what's happened to our political parties. Both parties used to have a conservative and a liberal wing along with a large number of moderates in each party. When push came to shove, the moderates in both parties could reach a compromise sometimes with support from either more conservative or more liberal elements of both parties as well. Things got done. Now it's entirely different. Both parties are essentially on opposite ideological poles of the political spectrum. That means that on balance, the most liberal Republicans are essentially more conservative than the most conservative Democrats are. That makes compromise very difficult. With the way our political system is structured, when either party is in the minority, it can obstruct the other party in power if that's what they want to do. That means that little gets done and problems don't get addressed.
Guess what happens then? Things get worse, and each side blames the other side.

Yeah, if we let a small cadre of politically powerful men select US Senators in some back room deal instead of allowing the people to vote, we'll deserve the corruption we'll end up getting. But there's a reason why this idea appeals to conservatives. It's because it would increase the influence and the power of the small red states.
Abolish the FEDERAL RESERVE, AND Repeal the 16th."President Obama is taking a swipe at the Founding Fathers, blaming his inability to move his agenda on the disadvantage of having each state represented equally in the Senate."

Too bad.
yeah coming from the same constitutional scholar that calls America
a constitutional democracy
since he brought it up
perhaps now would be a good time to start a repeal of the 17th amendment
Obama will change the makeup of the Senate by Executive Order
So much for supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States. Just another lie from the mulatto messiah.
