Last count I saw was TWENTY EIGHT 28 bills stalled in the Senate passed by the house, and of course...
"Harry Reid Sits on Jobs Bill to Force Votes on 17 Obama Lifetime Judiciary Nominees. Senate majority leader Harry Reid is at it again. Instead of putting the recent jobs bill passed in the House last week, and endorsed by Obama, in front of the Senate for a vote, Reid is setting it aside in order to force votes on 17 Obama lifetime judicial nominees. Harry Reid, in his obstruction of passing the jobs bill, wants to blame the Republicans, again, for obstructionism as he forces votes.
Yes, Reid has blamed Republicans repeatedly for obstructionism:"

Having said all of this, the post to which you want to reply to is simply a reply to another post calling out the Republican party for blocking bills. THEY BOTH DO IT, and if you need to waste time in tit for tat on THIS, then the party is your most important thing and not actually what is happening. Congress, BOTH PARTIES have a low approval rating for a reason...to color it a Red or Blue is just a waste of time
