Senator Reid won't work with Romney as President

So the bills were partisan, why didn't the Senate vote on them? They could have voted them down and then offered something else. Senator Reid didn't want to vote because some Democrats might have voted with the Republicans and passed the bill or it would have forced the Democrats to deal with things that they did not want to deal with like a budget. Some of the bills were what the new congress was elected to enact and the voters would not be happy if their Senator voted against it. How many budgets did the Senate vote on and send back to the House?

and the jobs bill you like to say the Republicans wouldn't pass contained piggy back legislation the Democrats wanted in it. I see nothing wrong with the Republians trying to stop the socialism the liberals keep trying to foist on the American people. They're doing what they were elected to do, represent the wishes of their constituients. They're sent to Washington to be the VOICE OF THE PEOPLE, not to compromise with socialists.

President Obama appointed two Supreme Court Justices who were of the philosophy of the President. I do beleive both were confirmed with very little problems and most Republicans voting for them. It was the Democrats who told President Bush that he should consult with the Democrat Leadership to select Justices for the Supreme Court. The Republican House passed many bills and sent them to the Senate and Senator Reid refused to hold a vote on them. As Rep Paul Ryan said the way the process is to work the House passes a bill and sends it to the Senate. The Senate then takes up the bill and makes changes and sends it back to the House. If they can't reach an agreement it goes to a conference committee to work out the differences. They can't work things out if the Senate does not vote on a bill. It is said that President Johnson, Reagan and Clinton were experts at working things out and getting things done by listening to the other side and looking for areas of agreement. You have to talk to each other and the tone was set early in his administration when Speaker Pelosi said “Yes, we wrote the bill. Yes, we won the election.” http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=washingtonstory&sid=aaX0MEqeCGjA The President talked about working together and being civil but did not argue with this message. He also stated early in his administration when talking to House and Senate Leaders that "I Won". http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17862.html When Congresswoman Giffort was shot the President called for more Civility and yet has to speak out against what his supporters are saying. He also has run a very negative campaign. The President has talked about working together and reaching out but that is all it is talk.

You are right the President will have to work with the Republicans in the House. What is his proposal to avoid the failing economy? He can't blame President Bush anymore. It has been his policies for the past four years, his spending and his leadership. It is interesting that the people elected Republicans to control the House, which controls the revenue. Is the message that we want a federal government that does nothing for four more years?

Thank God we're now seeing there still are some RINOs left! For awhile there I feared they become totally extinct but apparently after the voters spoke last Tuesday they got some much-needed courage and at least a few of them have spoken out. America is waking up alright but I'm afraid you probably wish they'd go back to sleep...lol!! Annie
