It's up the the President to bring the parties together, when Obama looses all the power he has this November, he won't know what to do, Clinton started playing ball with the GOP and shit got done, every democrats celebrates Clinton for leaving the country in such good shape, but had only the power to agree to what the GOP lead house and senate was doing.

first, blocking is not a tool, it is a tactic and it is not being used it is being abused by self interested blow hards who have no interest in doing what is right with this country, but what is right for their party and yes....there is a huge difference. If they had any value to this democracy at all they would compromise with the majority party and work towards what is good for this country.
Not one republican voted for the health care bill because they are arrogant fuck nuts that want to hold their breath and pout like children... so many fucking olive branches were held out they could have made a nice salad.
Second, you say that it is up to the President to bring the parties together. If you believe that is or even was possible the day he got sworn in I want those rose colored glasses you had on
third, you are absolutely correct that the democrats did not achieve party unity, they may or may not pay dearly for that in the mid terms. I don't care either way because nothing will change and the American people will continue to pay for this stupid immature partisanship gamesmanship.
Lastly, I would not be so bold as to suggest some kind of a landslide victory for the right come Nov.... the current mood of the country is not 'Yay for conservatives' it is 'throw the bums out' It has yet to be seen exactly how many bums each side may lose or gain.
To end this semi-rant; if you are correct and the republicans take over the house and senate what do you think will happen? Huh? you think the hard economic times are going to be over? do you think the banks will start lending again to small business and not play their little derivatives gambling games? you think the government will create jobs by investing in badly needed infrastructure? No? I hope you don't because the right has made it perfectly clear they oppose all those things that are needed..........badly, and thats not socialism it is giving the country what it needs to climb out of an extremely deep deregulated hole. The simple fact of the matter is the American public has lost and will continue to lose no matter which party is in control. Our politicians are bought and paid for by billion dollar corporations and they even managed to purchase the right seats in the Supreme Court. It's over, we lose... but hey! Maybe Obama wont get re-elected... hip hip hor---who gives a fuck?
