Harry Reid then:At a press conference announcing a package of proposals to help small business, the Nevada Democrat said Republicans were obstructing legislation to help the economy for political reasons.
“They think the worse the economy is come November, the better they’re going to do election-wise,” Reid said.
"Now I believe, myself, that the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and you have to make your own decision as to what the President knows, that this war is lost, and that the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday."But that was different, right?

Harry Reid is a dishonest fraud and the media let's him get away with it. He said this in the last sentence of The Hill article you link to:

Scott Brown introduced deficit-neutral legislation on June 30th to extend unemployment benefits. Harry Reid refused to bring it to a vote before they went on vacation. Yet he has the nerve to say the Republicans are blocking attempts to extend unemployment benefits. Here's the news release Scott Brown issued announcing his bill that the dishonest Harry Reid ignored and refused to bring to a vote:
