The obstruction of the Obama administration's high speed rail program (especially in Wisconsin and Ohio) had nothing whatsoever to do with race and class - rather it was to prevent a political opponent from accomplishing something. Same with the Affordable Care Act - it has been endlessly attacked because it is a D legacy even though it was modeled after a Republican plan. If a Republican had passed it - in fact Mitt Romney did sign the passage of its prototype in Massachusetts - then it would have been "good".
It goes both ways. Obstructionism and demagoguery have been around since Ancient Greece. It'll never disappear. It's how people are.
