re: #5 bloodstar

And sadly it may work to the Republican’s advantage. Now, instead of Obama being the underdog fighting against the Republican Controlled congress. The house can toss bills up left and right and it’s The Senate and Obama trying to stop the poor Republicans from getting their way.

The Republicans aren’t going to set and agenda, they’re going to sit back and try to play defense and obstruct, just like they did the last two years. Why? because they think they can win that way. After all, they won by making the public feel that Obama failed to accomplish anything. So two more years of that should ensure that The Democrats are swept out by the next wave of Republican/Tea Party populism.

I’m calling it now. The Republicans are going to work to make sure nothing is passed for the next two years and work to blame Obama for it.

I think people are more likely to hold them accountable for getting something done.
