Reid has been fighting the Republican obstructionists the whole time, and he is as tough as f'ing nails. IMO 99% of lambasting during the past 5 years has been completely uncalled for. Soft-spoken-ness does not indicate weakness.

So, thank you Senator Reid for not being anything like the impossible strawman that the purists have created for you over the years. Keep up the great work!
