Remember the Dems were expected to draft a budget for next year and forgot their to do list.

No they can't. They need a majority vote in the Congress to do that, as well.

Prove it. If they sign no budget, spending stops at some point.

I think your going to see some Dems reverse course. This election cycle should have been a wake up call to pay attention to what the people want and dont want.

I think there is a chance that they come a little to the right, just to get things done. Of course, they have accomplished a good bit of what they wanted already.

Their other avenue of action is to try and pass bills, let the Republicans gridlock everything, and point that out to the voters in 2012.

And thats usually the game with both sides. Which I despise. My biggest problem is attitudes like Obama's right now, ignore the will of the majority. They all so easily forget who they work for.

I am not looking for him to change any of his arrogancy the last two years. He is going to push as much of his Socialist agenda as he can. He's the pawn and he is willing because that is who he is. He was groomed for it.

I wish that I could pull up the post that I made three or four years ago when I said, "They are grooming this man for something." Didn't think it was the presidency, but I saw something in the works. You could certainly feel it. And I don't mean a "tingle up my leg". LOL!

It's not going to be seen as a gridlock by the republicans, it's going to be seen as Obam not willing to reach a compromise. And you might want to consider the fact that the bills that have been passed were just rejected.

You'll have to wait a few more generations to get your socialist uptopia, there's still just enough Americans left who want to see the constitution upheld.

"The Republican Party is being told to be the party of "no". No more stimulus spending, no cap and trade, no card check, none of this other stuff. Gridlock is not an American problem, it's an achievement. The framers of our Constitution didn't want an efficient government, they wanted a safe government. To which end, they filled it with slow end and blocking mechanisms - three branches of government, two branches of the legislative branch, a veto-veto override, super majority and judicial review. When we have gridlock, the system is working." - George Will
