Whats the GOP been up to for 4 Years???
This is a post from a commenter on Huffington Post. It's the kind of list that should infuriate anyone who feels the government should cater to those who vote and the country it supposedly represents.
It's also a perfect counter for any of you who have Fox news addicted family or friends (even though they'll never believe what you put in front of their faces anyway).

Here it is:
Two Years Ago, John Boehner promised to be "Laser Focused on Jobs and the Economy" So what has the GOP House been up to?
