74 days out of 8 years

A caller on Thom Hartmann was lamenting how Obama's hands have been tied. I forgot that in 8 years, he ONLY had 74 days of a veto proof congress. Another reason we have to win the Senate and the House. And hopefully HRC will NOT nominate Merrick Garland, as he won't touch Citizen's United. He agrees with the worst court decision in my lifetime.
