This is a GROUP and not a FORUM!
Barack Obama
A safe haven for members of Democratic Underground who support the president and his policies.
I didn't make the rules at the BOG, the administrators at DU did. If you have a problem with that you may take it up with them.

We deal with facts in this group not fiction...your post was debunked a long time ago.

Debunking the Myth: Obama's Two-Year Supermajority

snip

A supermajority is a filibuster-proof 60 or more Senate seats, allowing one party to pass legislation without votes from the other,

Don't forget: the president needed a supermajority because of the Republicans' unprecedented use of the filibuster as an obstruction tactic -- they've used it more than 400 times.

snip

In August, Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts died and the number went back down to 59 again until Paul Kirk temporarily filled Kennedy's seat in September.

Any pretense of a supermajority ended on February 4, 2010 when Republican Scott Brown was sworn into the seat Senator Kennedy once held.Do you see a two-year supermajority?

I didn't think so.

The rest here~
