Keep in mind something - Harry Reid sat on a number of bills and wouldn't even bring up a vote, partly to protect Obama.

Remember what Obama told people right after 2008..."if you don't like what's going on, win an election". Those might not have been his exact words, but I believe I'm paraphrasing faithfully his message.

Well, look what happened in 2010 and even more so in 2014 - the Republicans blasted...and I underscore the word... BLASTED the Dems and took over the House and Senate in the process. One can make a very valid argument that the vote sent a message that enough voting Americans wanted to see Obama neutralized.

The 2014 election in particular was a compelling rejection of the DNC and Obama - not just that the Rs retained the House and won the Senate, but that they won many governor races and won convincingly in local elections. I disagree with many things in the RNC platform, so I looked upon the 2014 results with mixed reactions: I don't like to see the current version of the Rs winning, but I sure enjoyed watching the Ds get taken to the proverbial woodshed.

Sometimes the role of Congress is to say "no". Whether by voting "no" or by exercising the permissible option not to vote. Rarely will I quote Obama, but in this case it's appropriate - if people don't like it, then win an election.
