Obama Goes Uncivil

Republicans would "cripple" America.

"From the moment I took office what we've seen is a constant ideological pushback against any kind of sensible reforms that would make our economy work better and give people more opportunity," the president said at an intimate brunch fundraiser at the Medina, Wash., home of former Microsoft executive Jon Shirley, where about 65 guests were paying $35,800 per couple to listen to Obama.

Somehow, that's not how I remember it. For the first two years of his administration, he had supermajorities in both houses of Congress and most of our problems since then are a consequence of him getting everything he wanted.
