274 filibusters

In a conversation with a friend i mentioned the Republicans propensity to obstruct and filibuster any legislation Obama tried to pass, he asked me to name some of this legislation that was filibustered and failed to pass as a result..he stumped me as i couldnt think of anything besides Obamas jobs bill..
There must be a list somewhere outlining what each filibuster was filibustering against, so far i cant find anything.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
