If he wants to spend the next two years playing chicken with the President just so he can pass the obstructionist label onto the President, let him. The President never has to run for office again for the rest of his life. It won't affect the decisions Democratic hopefuls make about whether or not to embrace or distance themselves from the President's policies and legacy. Plus I suspect Liberals will be energized by all the bold moves the President makes in the fourth quarter. Poor old McConnell will be singing his one note aria to the choir, while the rest of us go about moving forward. I'm not in the least concerned by this development. I would bet Obama isn't concerned either. He's a counter-puncher. The more opposition he gets from the GOP, the better he'll perform.Tien Lenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-35467426595556383862015-01-05T13:25:55.352-06:002015-01-05T13:25:55.352-06:00However creepy that observation is, I fear you are...However creepy that observation is, I fear you are absolutely correct. I do think Nancy is correct in saying we need to be extremely vocal to call this out and make clear that obstruction is a very dangerous game.

It is going to take a full court press from the Congressional Dems as well as from the White House to lay the responsibility right where it belongs - on our increasingly dysfunctional Congress. With Yoho and Gohmert vying for Speaker, all we can hope for is that one succeeds and the insanity becomes crystal clear.
