PA Senator: [GOP] Didn't Want To Give Obama A Win!

Two conservative senators Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) and Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) tried to pass a bipartisan bill got shafted by Republican obstruction. 

The Republican Party already exposed their true colors.

This crucial vote on the stricter background checks may have the break President Barack Obama needed to rally his base up. The Republicans stubborn desire to hurt the president may have backfired.

Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire), Senator Jeff Flake (R-Arizona), Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Senator Dan Coats (R-Indiana) took a hit in their polls.

Senator Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-North Dakota) and Senator Mark Pryor (D-Arkansas) also taken a hit as well. They were the few Democrats who decided to put their special interest ahead of the people.

So far the 113th Congress has been an utter disappointment in legislation. While they're taking another vacation, the nation is facing a sequester. The sequester is putting a dent in growth because of Republicans obstruction to raise taxes on the higher end earners.

They allowed the FAA make budget cuts that affected travel across the nation. They finally realized that it affected them as well so they've passed a fast track bill to become law.

So far we've seen continuous gun violence across the country. One thing is clear, the gun always seems like the winner of these debates.

Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) has express concern about his fellow Republicans. He told the press that the reason for the gun bill failure: The Republicans basically can't stand President Barack Obama.

Now we can remember that in 2010, the minority leader Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) decided to make the Republican Party's goal to deny the president a second term. It didn't happen.

So now the only thing the Republicans got left is basically try to murky the waters up so much the blame will shift to the president instead of them.

With the sequester and gun control failures, Republicans are likely going to lose the House and pick up two seats in the Senate. That's pretty much my prediction on this.

Republicans can take Congress to the bottom of the barrel and still manage to come out looking like winners.

But this isn't going to happen. President Barack Obama will have to campaign throughout his second term to get the public's attention. If one thing is clear, the Republicans pretty much screwed themselves more so than the president.
