Just like it was Bush's fault that we went to two illegal wars (that congress half-assed voted for), it is just as much Obama's fault for not doing what he said he could get done, WITH SUPER MAJORITY. |
This vote illustrates the real problem:

No GOP votes at all.
In a "real world" where congress members voted based on the plan instead
of voting by the party, one would expect Obama to not always get all
democrats to vote the same. And this happens, which means Obama cannot
get a majority when dems act like real officials should.
So with some dems refusing to play party politics while repubs play hardball
partisan politics, it is expected that Obama will sometimes not be able to
get all the votes he needs.
So that "WITH SUPER MAJORITY" issue assumes that our politicians
only vote along party lines and that's simply not the way this government
was ever meant to work.
