Republican obstructionism

One of the things Obama and the dems seem to content to do this election season is to condemn republican obstructionism.

But let me ask this question. If the republicans are obstructing the dems what exactly have the Obamunists been not able to get accomplished?

Healthcare?

Supreme Court nominees?

TARP?

Stimulus?

Extended unemployment benefits?

30,000 more troops in Afghanistan?

The fact is republicans haven't been able to stop anything democrats wanted passed. So democrats can take sole pleasure in running on their record, it's their baby.

Once again, I'll never give republicans the Steal Cajones Award for courage in the face of reelection but I still believe it says something when the GOP almost unanimously fought against all the proposals brought to the fore by the Obamunists.

Think about it. If republicans knew these things were to be beneficial to the American economy how many would have been willing to line up for a simply partisan affair? For crying out loud, the dems couldn't even get one Grahamnesty, Collins, Snowe, Rinovich to vote on some of these bills.

Barbara, Harry, Patty et al, go out and campaign on what your hard work and efforts have done for (or is it "to") this country.

And maybe the media will expose this republican obstruction canard for what it is.

But I won't hold my breath.
