Comrade Grumpy

I think there needs to be more emphasis on the House and Senate. [View all]

We need to undo the Tea Party revolution of 2010 in the House and keep control of the Senate. It doesn't look like taking back the House is in the cards, but why aren't we hearing Democrats screaming about the need to do so? Or did I miss it?

I wish Obama would say at every opportunity: "You need not just to vote for me, but to give me a House of Representatives that will work with me instead of obstruct me."

Or is this already going on and it's just that nobody is talking about it?
