Do note that the Wash Post article was to this:

"Jennifer Rubin writes the Right Turn blog for The Post, offering reported opinion from a conservative perspective"

Whether you like or do not like Democrats and/or Harry Reid, it is the case that most House bills Reid did not bring up were so loaded with far-right stuff that they never would have passed in the Senate.
No one seems to mention it when Boehner used similar tactics in the House.

And at least *50* of those bills were attempts to repeal 'Obamacare'... and many others were of similar ilk.

The Republicans have made a game of "obstruct everything" then criticize Obama for 'getting nothing done'. It's transparent to everyone who does not depend on Fox News for their daily transfusion digest of happenings.
