The President’s weekly radio address bemoaned those dastardly Republicans. The Republicans are blocking progress Obama claims. How can and honest person make this argument? Does Obama really think the American people don’t know the Democrats have wide majorities in the House and Senate?

Obama’s party has a 59-41 majority in the Senate (technically 57 Ds and 2 independents who caucus with the Ds) and a 255-178 majority in the House. At most one single Republican is holding Obama back—1 single Republican Senator is all it takes to pass something the Democrats care about.

The reality is that Democrats are holding back Obama agenda, not Republicans. And there is no way Republicans will back the President after he has alienated a majority of the American people.
