Do you believe that the House and Senate Rs have deliberately obstructed Ds since Barack Obama was elected? Do you approve?

Asked by SaganRitual (2072points) June 18th, 2019

When Barack Obama was elected president, Republican Senate Majority Leader McConnell announced, “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

Republican then-Speaker of the House John Boehner said, “We’re going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can,” speaking of the Obama Administration’s political agenda.

It has been noted that Senator McConnell, still serving as Senate Majority Leader, continues to obstruct the Democrats in the same way.

Do you feel that the Rs in Congress are obstructing, as in, ruling everything out that has a D on it, regardless of the content? Or are they simply doing their duty to America, ruling out D ideas because D ideas are invariably bad for the nation?

You on the right: what is your interpretation of this so-called obstruction? You on the left: if the Ds started doing the same thing, would you be outraged at them stooping low, and demand that they stop, or would you assume that they have no choice because all the GOP ideas are bad?
