– Harry Reid for backing down on filibuster reform

– Republicans for being the party of stupid

– Congressional Republicans who made it their #1 priority to obstruct everything Obama  tries to do

– Democrats who didn’t come out and vote in 2010 because they were “disappointed” in President Obama

– The vast majority of Americans who do not participate in “politics”

– President Obama, who not being omnipotent, can’t make the GOP stop being the GOP

– Mitch McConnell

– Rand Paul

– Chuck Grassley

– Conservative talk radio

– Clear Channel

– Fox News

– Rupert Murdoch

– Mainstream media’s insistence that both parties are equally to blame
