Perhaps people are sick of hearing his threats. I know I am. After four years of seeing the Republicans filibuster, block, stall, and everything else they could do to prevent President Obama and the Democrats from getting anything done, Reid was being an idiot when he made his gentleman's agreement with McConnell at the first of the year.

Reid needs to quit apologizing, threatening, and talking about it and just do it. The country needs HELP. Many Americans are hurting. This isn't a game, they're screwing around with people's lives, many are in life or death situations. It's time to get moving.

The Republicans either need to jump on board, get out of the way, or get run over. I don't really care which.
