ABC's "20/20 - Lessons from Billionaires: Tax ME to create jobs IN AMERICA!"

A month of absolute power by the Democrats???

Per your reference:
When Democratic Senator Al Franken of Minnesota was sworn in on July 7, 2009 till the death of Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy on August 26. – 50 days

Membership increased back to 60 on the swearing-in of Paul G. Kirk, the designated interim replacement for Ted Kennedy, on September 24 till February 4, 2010 – 133 days

183 days equals one month??? How does that math work?
 
I'll provide some lists below, there have been 159 promises kept just in the first 3 years. I'll mention a few of the promises that meant the most to me:

Ending the Iraq war and withdrawing our troops. McCain had stated he was fine with keeping them there 50, even 100 years as we did in Japan and Korea.

Ended the practice of torture.

Made the first step to transition to UHC with the historic health care reform.

Financial Regulation (although more is needed yet)

Middle class tax cut

Increased CAFE standards for cars and trucks

Reduce CO2 pollution

Historical funding of alternative and nuclear energy

Reduced unemployment

Repeal of DADT

Here are some more:
