Interesting video for those just graduating/stuck in the daily grind.
Republicans came up with all kinds of convoluted and made-up explanations for voting against gun background checks, and some are starting to do the same for the immigration bill. A few are even using the Boston bombing as an excuse. But for many lawmakers, the real reason is depressingly familiar. They don’t want to give President Obama anything he wants.

NICE.

After spending quite a bit of time doing basic research, this quote is just so true.
