You got that? The House is no longer ruled by majority vote, it's ruled by a majority Republicans votes only. And to get anything done, Obama needs to turn 117 of them. And that's the president's fault right?
When the Democrats control the House, they have no such anti-democracy rule.

Obama's inability to turn a few Republican senators shows weak leadership. The only way he can govern is to issue executive orders like a king. Other presidents who did not have control of congress managed to get things done

When Democrat House Leadership proclaimed "we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it", the dictator's minions nuked any and all discussion about the monstrosity that was shoved down the throats of every citizen in America.
Harry Reid has personally prevented over 30 bills passed by the House from coming to a vote by the Senate. ObeyMe's puppet doesn't want his minions to have to show the American people how they really feel about issues that affect them all.
