And last time I checked 'ol Barry knew what he was getting into when he started his campaign. He oughtta, the Dems ran congress the last two years of the previous administration so IMHO it's their fault.
most of us are focusing on the fact that he has been prevented from doing as much as he could have.
Some of us are keenly aware that political hacks from both sides have been responsible for that. Anyone with a brain should realize that Obama is actually a breath of fresh air, whose attitude toward government should be emulated across the political spectrum. As someone wrote(a GOP major contributor in the past, btw) on another board I read and post to: "What happened to actual leaders such as Buckley, Bradley,
Moynihan or Fulbright?" Those folks were all easily identified as conservative or liberal, but ALL of them worked with folks of all ideologies to make the US a better nation, ALL of them conducted themselves without rancor towards those they didn't agree with, ALL could listen to others and change their own minds without shame, when logic dictated. We don't see that sort of thing, which one could call statemanship from either Party, or even from most outside the party system. And, for that fact alone, this nation might be doomed.
