Party of no

Here is an off the cuff comment by President Obama where he reveals what was going on in the senate the past 6 years. There are going to be some areas where we disagree. And, you know, I haven't used the veto pen very often since I have been in office, partly because legislation that I objected to was typically blocked in the Senate, even after the House took over. This illustrates the power of the press as most people are convinced that the Republicans are the party of no since the congress has not passed many bills. The Republican controlled house has sent 362 bills to the senate where they remained on Harry Reid’s desk and were not allowed to come to a vote in the Democratic controlled senate. He kept them from the floor so Obama would not have to veto bills he did not like. This is in the past. The new congress will be passing bills and sending them to the President for his signature and the President has said he will use the veto pen. If this happens will the press report the President as the party of no or will they continue to say it is a do nothing congress. Stay tuned!
