Reply #44: Yes, a lot did die in the Senate because we did NOT have 60 dems in the Senate [View All]

in order to invoke cloture on the bills. (Remember that - In the Senate Franken wasn't sworn in until July 2009, and Kennedy died in August 2009.)

Since the time that Obama was sworn in there has been LESS THAN 4 months that Congress was in session (Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec of 2009 minus the X-mas break in December) that Obama actually had a filibuster-proof Congress.

This is WHY we need a filibuster-proof DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS.

So, yes I WILL preach about giving the POTUS a democratic House and Senate.
