Democrats still control the Presidency and the Senate

[letterwriter]

And the Presidency is where most of the power is. Obama sill has the veto. We are still in control. But you wouldn't know that if you listened to what everyone is saying. Bush in his last year had lost both houses and he didn't go off wining. When are Democrats going to fight?

1. exactly - all that stuff the Reps were claiming they would do if elected

will not come to pass. You could argue that one House is a wake up call, not a mandate. :D

2. We may have the senate....

But the repubs can fillubuster EVERYTHING so it's like they control the senate.

3. They should remember

what happened when they shut down the government before.

People voted for the GOP because they expect them to produce results. They have to come up with some solutions now. "No" is no longer good enough.

[wisteria]

11. Exactly. People want to see things get done. n/t

[snappyturtle]

4. Agreed....plus the repubs have the SC....nt

5. the Senate was locked down last year *with* a majority

Go ahead and kid yourself thinking we *have* it. What we *have* now is a massive clusterf*ck waiting to happen.

6. Reagan NEVER had the House of Representatives...

and he still acted as though he ruled the entire world let alone America.

[Autumn]

8. Republicans have that act down pat.

They can be the minority and still get away with it.

[siligut]

9. Or at least look like they are.

And looking like it is part of their strategy.

[Lost4words]

7. if we could not get things done before we sure wont now!

[NightWatcher]

10. They didn't fight when they had a huge majority, you think they'll fight now?

Prepare to see the biggest Triangulation-Pallooza you've ever seen. Nothing will get done except for House Hearings to investigate the secret Muslim Kenyan born President. Prepare for a stalemate and grid lock.

So much for civil rights my gay friends, maybe next generation.
