"Who signed that bill you are now whining about into law?"

President Obama, and if calling out Republicans and Kessler is "whining," I'm guilty.

"Who didn't do shit about ending filibusters in the Senate? "

Harry Reid.

That clearly means Boehner, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul support

Health care reform (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022424843), Wall Street reform (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022441546) and Raising taxes on the rich (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022409893).

And this was part of the "good cop/bad cop routine":

<...>

If the bill would have become law, it would have replaced tens of billions of dollars in spending cuts set to take place this year with 10 years’ worth of deficit reducing tax increases and targeted spending cuts. The revenue would have come largely from individuals making over $5 million a year, by imposing a minimum “Buffett Rule” tax on their earnings. The cuts would have been divided evenly between agriculture subsidies and defense spending.
