Here's a great one for you - Obama's blaming the Republicans for the miserable year of failure that 2009 was for the Democrat agenda. Perhaps someone should explain to Obama, whose party has had a decisive majority in the House, and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate for the past year, that it was Democrats that stopped the Democrat agenda from steamrolling America like they planned. The Republicans didn't have the firepower. Besides, IMO, this is all a thinly veiled attack on those Obama sees as REALLY responsible for his failure - the American people.

Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama tore into the Republican opposition on Capitol Hill Wednesday, blaming the GOP for what he claimed is politically-motivated opposition on virtually every issue.
Democrats have been willing to incorporate Republican ideas on health care and other issues, he said, but Republicans have not been willing to do the same.
Addressing a gathering of Senate Democrats, Obama promised to "call (Republicans) out when (Democrats) extend a hand and get a fist in return."
Senate Republicans, he said, have employed the filibuster more over the past year than in all of the 1950s and 1960s combined. The GOP's strategy has been "twenty years of obstruction packed into one," he said.
