re: #188 Obdicut

I don’t think so. I hope the Democrats don’t use the same obstructionist tactics— especially since Obama is still president.

I think that the GOP, if forced to actually attempt to govern, will turn into even more of a circular firing squad, with the actually sane members trying to pass reasonable legislation and the crazybugnuts league, grown in strength, attempting to pass god-knows-what.

That’s a very good point, and you’re right that the bully pulpit is a powerful tool. I have a lot more faith in O than in congress to actually stop the truly evil stuff from getting in.
