| 2. Strange, because during the Bush era, they never needed 60 to get anything they wanted done |

if they (the Dems) got something done, it was what Bush wanted done ...
If by "they" you mean the Repugs, you're right ... because the media was all behind THEM ...

| 5. frankly, the dems want to have a reason they aren't getting anything done as promised. |

they 'need' it because they don't want to do it. there aren't enough that actually want to get things done.
