Re: Obama Blasts Republicans Over Letter to Iranian Leadership
No...not sure where I said that. it was a major bill that had bi-partisan support including groups that typically support the Republican Party (chamber of commerce etc).
It also included both a path to citizenship and increased funding and border security. It was the best deal possible, and House Republicans torpedoed it.
House Republicans decided not to proceed so the White House took action.
That's the cost of obstructionism...if you think the other side will walk away saying "shucks...I guess we're done here" then you are making a serious miscalculation based on something that never happens.
Hmm... If the House passes a bill must the Senate vote on it? You seem to have very partisan blinders on when it comes to what congress "should" do.
