He can't blame the Republicans for an "obstructionist" congress when they had no power. In fact, there has not been a budget passed in Obama's presidency. This is a first. So yeah, you can blame the GOP for the last two years... but in the first two years they did nothing, either. |
Just to clarify. Minority still has fillibuster as mechanism to stop legislation, you need 60 seats in the senate all on the same page to force through bills. Minority has not been powerless.
