28. I love how we are told to vote

for Democrats because they are the ones who will take care of the issues that are most important to this country. Then once elected with a majority, they apparently become powerless. Republicans otoh, in order for Democrats to be so powerless in the majority, have apparently some divine powers even in the minority. They can beat a Majority Democratic Senate, and the Democratic WH, in fact they were even able to beat Democrats when we held all three branches of government.

Care to explain the NDAA in terns of Obama's record on 'restoring the Constitution'. How about the FISA Bill? That was a shock, airc.

Either the president has power or he doesn't. If he doesn't, and considering the myriad of excuses we hear all the time, it appears the POTUS has no power any more, why on earth is so much effort put into that race, rather than into Congressional races? I certainly won't be wasting much time on the presidential race in the future being that as you point out, the president can't do anything on his own, can't sign an EO, can't lead his own party to get a unified vote etc etc. I will be focusing on Congressional races, and will support any Progressive Democrat, no Third Way/DLC candidates. Because we've all had enough of the excuses. With a Progressive Congress it won't matter whether the president has power or not. THAT is where the only hope of getting done what needs to be done, rests.
