Democrats Now Govern the Country

[dragonrider]

While Obama may be able to keep them on a short leash due to the fact that most of the house/senate are in the same party as him.. you realize that the President actually has no authority over the House or the Senate correct?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The president is not responsible for everything nor does he have power over all. Therefore all things good, or negative cannot all be attributed to him.

We should be expecting a lot of attempted philibusters from the right over the next 4 years.

I know the President has no Constitutional authority over the House or the Senate, but the President has some political power that he can use for agenda control and a greater bully pulpit than the congress. Any control he can exert will be more about politics than about Constitutional authority. It will be a challenge.
