Reid fearing wrath of constituents
This article talks about how Sen. Reid pulled the Job Bill because he was afraid that it would not be good for the democrats facing reelection since it is so controversial. This is a good example of Congress looking ahead towards reelection and being more concerned about their future then the country's future.
