Where is this mythical Senate majority everyone speaks of?
I used to be a regular poster here, and columnist on SmirkingChimp & Bartcop... but then my head exploded from too much politics and I had to go to my GirlCave™ for awhile...... thought I'd stop by and say Aloha.

....anyway - I was just doing some MATH. (I know - eeek.)

January 2009:
Reps 40 ≠ Dems 60

60 - Lieberman = 59
59 - *MASS = 58
58 - BluDogs™ (at least 10?) = 48
∴ 48 ≠ Majority - especially when the missing 12/11 (taking so long to get Franken seated, then Teddy dies) RARELY IF EVER vote DEM.

*Not that one seat in this laughable, 90% corrupted group matters, but when are we going to investigate the DIEBOLD PROBLEM (please google>Scott Brown Diebold - if you haven't heard yet.)

1. I guess my point is.....
Obama can't do this alone - it's not US GOVERNMENT PARTY OF 1. It's just sad that not only is the "Dem Majority" line one big fat lie, but everyone is blaming Obama.

Sorry, but considering the math, it's a frakkin miracle he's accomplished as much as he has, let alone ANYTHING when the G-NO-P has always had the true majority in the Senate since he took office.
