Reid: Republicans Have Repeatedly Blocked Bipartisan Bills, And Hurt The Middle Class In The Process

[Bill USA]

4. Alas, since Obama took office it seems "filibuster" is a taboo word on Corporate Media. They

obediently continue to report on the state of the economy and specifically unemployment as if it's Obama's policies "not working"...."Why can't Obama get the economy going?".... they never ask "I wonder if all those jobs bills the GOP has filibustered, or the downsizing of the ARRA (38% of it turned into tax-cuts, which at the beginning of a depression will not be spent) break a GOP filibuster - or I wonder if threatening a closure of the Government, or threatening a default on the U.S. Debt (causing S&P to downgrade U.S. credit rating) MAY have scared businessmen into NOT hiring more full-time permanent workers because they aren't sure the GOP won't kill this recovery (businessmen don't want to hire full-time people only to lay them off in six months). I wonder if this just MIGHT BE holding back the recovery and holding UP the unemployment rate."

..... and maybe this is what McConnell had in mind when he said the Repubs first priority is to make Obama a one term president? Geee M$M, do you THINK SO?????
