58. Sorry, bud.

The shrug-off on EFCA came in 2008-10 -- total lack of leadership when we had majorities and the WH; Obama pushed hard for the Colombia free-trade agreement and totally backtracked on the South Korean FTE, and he supports Arne Duncan's union-busting policies; and the freeze of federal workers' pay was a total sop to Republicans.

So, I guess if you want to argue that the Democrats were "hamstrung" and "acting at the hands of" the Republicans, I guess you could, but that totally undermine any reason to support those Democrats, wouldn't it?
