Even when the republicans weren't in control how often did they filibuster?
They did everything they could not to work together.
Is Obama perfect. No, but you can't blame a guy for not putting out a huge fire fast enough. When you started the fire. And you have guy s still running around, pouring gas on it.
I understand what you're saying. Still, the republican congress has put a budget in front of him time and time again and he refuses to consider it unless it increases the tax rate.

As for bills on jobs by the GOP, a GOP that functions like it's supposed to isn't going to come up with a bunch of bills on jobs. One of the biggest parts of their platform is not controlling the job market but limiting regulations so that it can control itself. The GOP doesn't want to create jobs, it wants to allow the private sector to have the freedom to do it itself. Even Bill Clinton understood this concept far more than Obama does. In fact, he's even praised Romney for his work at Bain Capitol, all while pissing Obama off because it was caught on camera. Kind of a side note, I'm a little surprised that Clinton is speaking at the DNC. It's no secret he and Obama hate each other.
