(10,611 posts)But that's not HIS problem, because to blame him for the obstruction (and I'm not saying that's what's going on with your post, but I know some people might think exactly that way) implies that we need not bother electing another black person, a female, a member of the GLBT community, or any other demographic that the GOP may not like being in power. The lunatics cannot keep running the asylum.

(20,776 posts)When Obama was Elected the Republicans decided they would SAY NO to everything. It was planned out that way. Even though he was re-elected, there are some Republicans who really don't like a black man in the White house. That is part of the reason why they say no to everything he does. Eric Cantor is a prime example .. of saying no to everything.
