That's house and senate, 70% average and at one time had an 83% peak in the house at one time.

Basher's will make sure to mention numerical majorities as if they technically mean anything seeing conservatives are abusing the filibuster rule.
Progressives know Obama had 60 dem majority in the senate for 50 days and not all of them were progressives.
The "Obama is so powerless" is a right wing meme started via emails and I can't believe I see that crap on DU...
A 83% progressive congress would SUPERSEDE a moderate president so the uninformed meme that Obama can't be pushed to be more progressive is bullcrap...congress has more power than the president PERIOD.
FUDrs will work this site hard, we're going to work back at them harder
no doubt
