GOP : It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks...

The GOP is having a difficult time accepting the new reality that they are now in control of both the House and Senate and have been given the responsibility to govern in the last election.

But they can't seem to break their old habits of blocking, obstructing, threatening, and warning the President to dance to their tune or else... They want to censure him, or sue him, or impeach him. It's the only game they know.

However, they said they wanted the chance to govern and the voters gave it to them in the last election. Now they will change the way the Congress and the Senate have behaved for the last six years, they said. They will break the gridlock.

But since the election, nothing has changed with the GOP. If anything, they have doubled down with their attacks on the President and their partisan, divisive attacks. For those that thought everything would be different, they are going to be deeply disappointed. The GOP do not know how to govern and have no intent to do anything but the same old tricks they have been doing for the last six years.

Why are we letting them????? Reid get up and start running the Senate. You are still in charge. I never saw a Senate Majority Leader give up power 2 1/2 months early. Why is he?????
