Bad News with a silver lining

[Esquilax]

Obama threatened to shut down government too.....but you conveniently forget that.

Do you... seriously not see any difference between a threat and actually doing it?

Oh, of course. You're pretending not to because you can never backtrack on anything, ever.

He made his threats and ultimatums just like everyone else.

You mean he argued his position, which was based on informed reasons and not just on "can't let Obama win!"

Reid shut down the republicans in the Senate by not letting their amendments be voted on. Whats worse is the douchebag started to shut down the amendments of the democrats too. Typically 2% of amendments come the majority leader....but towards the end...30% of the amendments were coming from Reid. The asshole began to monopolize power in the senate. Good riddance to him.

So you can hardly accuse it of being the same kind of thoughtless partisan move that we're used to from the republicans, can you?
