Who was the bigger obstructionist? Harry Reid or Mitch McConnell? [View all]

Perhaps they were equal obstructionists?

When you talk with Republicans, Harry Reid kept all the bills that were passed by Boehner and the House on his desk and never permitted a vote.

Democrats saw Mitch McConnell filibuster every bill that made it to the Senate. Democrats could not break the 60-vote requirement to end debate.

So what was the truth? Republicans came to the polls because they wanted to end the Reid obstruction. They hated Reid almost as much as they hated Obama. If they had thought it was McConnell's fault, they would not have voted for him?

Was there a major failure of communication?
