Of course, there will always be people – I believe they’re called “Republicans” – who won’t give President Obama and the Democrats any credit for anything. Despite that, this is yet another major accomplishment, in addition to all of these, by the 111th Congress and the Obama White House. Now, on to comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation, plus comprehensive immigration reform, and this will go down in history as one of the greatest 2-year periods of legislative accomplishment in U.S. history. See what happens when Democrats “grab a mop” to clean up the mess the Republicans made before we booted them out of office?
