Participant[quote=briansd1]Obama can’t keep all his promises if the Republican keep on blocking his initiatives[/quote]
The Democrats decided early on that they were going to do what they were going to do with or without Republican support. The Dems have a majority in both houses of congress even without a single Republican vote. If they want something to pass they can pass it without any support from the Republicans.
The Republicans didn’t block anything. The Democrats couldn’t even get their own party on board with the HC bill–that was what was holding them up. The only bipartisan support for the HC bill was the NO vote.

But they did get it done though. The bill passed. And now the reconciliation bill is going to pass in order to fix the corruption of Blanche Lincoln and Ben Nelson. All’s well that ends well. It wasn’t easy, but they passed the biggest piece of legislation in 40 years.

End Government interference in the free market. The only good government is a very small government
[/quote]Ayn Rand is brilliant in many ways. Unfortunately, she and her disciples like Greenspan always ignore one factor. They forget that humans can be money grubbing smelly little creatures that will screw their neighbors for a penny given the opportunity. It is unfortunate that govt oversight and regulations will always be a necessary evil.
