I think the public is tired of two years of blanket GOP obstructionism, and the obstruction of a long-standing treaty the GOP originated and has upheld over the years, with full endorsement, only now being obstructed because it's not up for renewal under a GOP President - yeah, I think that puts the GOP in a light the public is gonna care about - alot - when they see it on C-span in the next four weeks.
