At least Obama would need to use his veto pen more. Right now Harry is allowing Obama to go on record as non-committal to House bills (since he seldom sees any). It's almost like just voting "present" like he use to do. And what a smoke blower Harry is. Like we don't see what he's doing.

Posted by: Freedom | February 4, 2012, 9:52 am. Wow, another factually challenged Right Winger. What a surprise. Please list all these "jobs bills" that you think Obama is stopping the Senate from voting on. And while you're at it, tell us how they spur job growth. I'll wait.
