DNC Video Highlights GOP Obstruction Of Obama

Source: TPM

The final night of the Democratic convention highlighted Republicans' determination to thwart President Obama's agenda from early in his presidency.

Footage immediately preceding a clip package of Obama's accomplishments featured House Republican leaders John Boehner and Eric Cantor nay-saying his agenda and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell vowing that the party's top priority should be to deny the president a second term.

Boy, would I like to see that happen.

They'd be crying and whining and saying it isn't fair.

We need a law that says they have to do something productive for their pay!

or fine them for unsportsman-like behavior!
Can the Dems sersure the whole Repuke party if they have a majority?
(and stipulate that this can be done now but never again)
Hey, the SCOTUS did it- right?
