Once the November election...I wouldn't worry. <br /><br />Once the November election confirms either Hillary or Bernie are headed to the Oval Office, the Republicans will do a quick about face and confirm Garland so fast it will make your head spin. They'll do it because whoever Bernie or Hillary nominate will be much worse than Garland and they'll have no excuse not to confirm them. If they even maintain a majority by then. <br /><br />Obama has played them for fools for six years. He's got his end game set and is following through. It's sorta pathetic watching the amateurs take on a chess master. <br /><br />And I say karma for all the shit he put up with the first few years. Karma for "you lie!". Karma for all of the snide innuendos about a black man in the white house. Karma for all of the obstructionism for no other reason than racism. Let's finally call it what it is. <br /><br />And it won't change if Hillary wins. They'll just turn from racism to misogyny. Two sides of the same Republican coin. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-49437197580099778722016-04-09T00:02:30.539-08:002016-04-09T00:02:30.539-08:00Republicans have always stolen credit for Democrat...Republicans have always stolen credit for Democratic successes and blamed Democrats for Republican failures.

His strategy — oppose every policy and idea Obama puts forth. And indeed, McConnell in the Senate and his friends in the House held the United States hostage to try to accomplish this feat.<br /><br />Nonetheless, it didn’t work. Louis Kriesberg, Professor Emeritus of Social Conflict Studies at the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, penned an article entitled, “The GOP’s Unreasonable Resistance To Obama Only Enhances His Legacy,” detailing many of Obama’s proposals and the results that GOP obstructionism and resistance led to. In the article he states,<br /><br /> “Despite some claims that Barack Obama will be seen as a failed president in the future, the current primary election campaigns make it clear that he is likely to be viewed historically as a highly successful president. It is becoming evident that those Republicans and others who worked hard to oppose and defeat Obama’s policies have gravely damaged themselves. Their efforts to destroy his presidency have harmed the country and their own standing.”<br /><br />In fact, what the GOP sought to do was,<br /><br />http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/4/7/1512121/-Obama-s-Legacy-Shines-Amidst-GOP-ObstructionismAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-12268703085138837382016-04-07T12:09:17.327-08:002016-04-07T12:09:17.327-08:00Oh geez, I'm molding!

While I agree that Obama is straight-up killin' it by making far bolder moves than presidents typically make in their last year, the suggestion that the lame duck session lasts for nearly the entire last year of the president's last term is just silly. <br /><br />I blame it on the ignorance of the American public (for accepting the expansion of such a specific term) and the desire of the media to label everything/heighten the drama on every story.
