Paul Waldman says we can survive a Republican Congress.
Don’t get me wrong — I’m not among those who believe that having a Republican Congress is just what the doctor ordered for Obama’s political fortunes. It may prove politically useful for the administration to have a foil, and when Americans get to know John Boehner and the gang, they’re not likely to be particularly impressed. What matters most are results, and with such an oppositional opposition, there won’t be much in the way of results coming from Congress.
