Republicans have been obstructionists

No sooner had President Obama been elected in 2008, Republican mouthpiece Rush Limbaugh said he hoped Obama failed. Then Republican Senator Mitch McConnell said his main job was to see that Obama was defeated. From day one, the Republicans in Washington, D.C., have been obstructionist in every way to prevent the President of the United States from moving the country forward.

So the voters in 2014 not only re-elected these same obstructionists but elected more of the same, some even more extreme, and think things will change. Well, hold that thought and see how it turns out, but my advice is, don’t hold your breath.
