Harry Reid Blames Republicans for his Inability to Lead
I think the Republicans are doing exactly what they should be doing. They are using any and all means they have available to obstruct any progress in both the House and Senate. Actually, I would put the blame on Harry Reid for allowing this to go on. Harry Reid has an incredible opportunity to push almost any legislation the Democrat's want passed; i.e., he has a Super Majority (60 votes). He can overcome any obstacle by getting his party in-line and moving for a cloture vote on everything. The problem as I see it is that Harry Reid does not have the wherewithal to lead the Senate. Democrats are intelligent individuals that require handling to get them to all agree; Harry Reid cannot do it. We need a Chuck Schumer in as Majority Leader to help wrangle-up the votes and get legislation passed. Moreover, Harry Reid could have easily kept the Senate in session and passed HR3548 a month ago. Instead he continued to make idle threats and only now that it is all over he gets a backbone; give me a break. It's time for a change in the Senate and it starts with electing a real leader who is accustomed to working with all types of people. We need to elect the hardest working person in the Senate and that is Chuck Schumer from New York. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/11/reid-continues-to-target-republican-obstruction.php
