that s different from the track record we have seen? well, part of it i m willing to attack the corruption head-on, including the corruption of the gun manufacturers that hire all the lobbyists that call the shots in washington. but the second part is six years ago the senate passed by a vote of 54-46 background checking. i say they passed. that was the majority, but not with a filibuster in place. it wasn t good nufds to get the job done. on the first day i m president, the republicans want to try to block things, we get rid of the filibuster and go with the majority vote. we just can t have a world where the wealthy and the well connected, the guys who hire the lobbyists keep calling the shots. we know the sensible things we need to do. i take your point, but a president can t end a filibuster
