Target: Obstructionism

It’s good to see Harry Reid started to tackle some of the more egregious acts of obstructionism being mounted by the GOP minority in the Senate. A wise man has been trying to convince me over the past week that it’s a mistake for progressive media to focus so much attention on “tea party” antics and it would be better to focus on this issue and try to turn up the heat on it. You’re never going to get a mass public fascinated by the minutia of senate procedure, but I think people can understand that it’s a big problem when key government positions can’t be filled in a timely manner.
