Ted Cruz read Green Eggs and Ham on the Senate floor for 21 hours to postpone a vote on the ACA. The democrats had to scramble to pass it because Scott Walker's election took away their super-majority, but I digress, Obama did get is passed.
To date there have been 307 republican filibusters against Obama. That is about the same amount as G.W. Bush, Clinton and Reagan (the next three Presidents with the highest amount of filibusters) combined. 137 of those filibusters came during Obama's first two years in office.
