OK, I'll bite. Politics 101 is to perform the unpopular or polarizing actions in the 1st half of a mandate, and to then legislate more in a non-partisan nature during the runup to a possible re-election. To think this is the first time this revolutionary method of electoral politics has been discussed is, amazing.
To your last statement, the House is supposed to push legislation, its their job. And their mandate, or elected task, is decided each and every 2 years. Its not dictated on who is in the Whitehouse, or who is in control of the Senate. Or which TEA Party yabbler is popular at the time. Did I strike a hook, or am I in safe waters.
