Yes, but the Republican are at 54/247- they've basically "cleaned house". It is a historic landslide takeover with many African American taking seats for the very first time- making history. just find it kind of interesting how downplayed this is...
If your point is merely to gloat, so be it. This "historic landslide takeover", without a veto-proof majority, will likely yield fewer results and more gridlock than the 113th Congress. We should brace ourselves for some stunning legislative proposals, particularly from the Tea Party fringe.
Blacks taking seats in Congress isn't historic and I don't understand your point. Perhaps you can name them and discuss why it's an issue.
With the retirement of Bachmann, I would also expect some other Republican to step up and make clear just how abhorrent, sinful, debauched, etc, we gay folk are...and to later discover that Republican in an abhorrent, sinful, debauched sex scandal.
In the meantime, Obama can make things happen with executive orders. I would encourage him to get creative, too. Throw some lefties in there just to watch the Republicans go into a tailspin.
