It's almost like yo don't understand how your own government works (or fails to).

Tell me, how much of Obama's time in office did the Republicans haver the majority in the house?

Bonus question:

How much of the time that the GP were in the majority were they running with an unofficial 'Never Obama' policy?

"In the 230-year period between the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and Barack Obama’s election, opposition parties blocked a grand total of 68 presidential nominees. In the three years and 10 months between Obama’s inauguration and then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s move to eliminate the filibuster for lower court nominees, Republicans had blocked 79 of them – that’s 54 percent of the historic total in just under four years."
