If the Democrats had just taken back congress, they would be telling everyone that all of the good news in the economy was because of them being in charge. Instead Obama, who had nothing to do with any of it, tried to take credit for it in front of a house full of people that know he didn't have anything to do with it. From what I've heard of his childhood, this wouldn't be the first time. Obama was obviously living in a fantasy world where Al Qaeda and ISIS doesn't exist anymore, and all of the damage he's done to millions of families around the country never happened.He has nothing to lose at this point i don't know why people act like he does. He Can basically do what he wants as this is his second term and Veto everything he disagrees with.
What he has to lose is his legacy. It's already tarnished. If he vetoes everything the duly elected representatives of the House and Senate send him he will see that legacy go up in flames.
Whether liberals like it or not, the mid terms were an overwhelming rejection of Obama's policies. President Clinton had the gravitas to understand that when it happened to him and he turned his whole Presidency around by working positively with Congress and the Senate.
He's been trying to work with them for six years. The election was only overwhelming if you don't consider the tiny number of people who voted. Not many more than you would expect in an election for Homecoming Queen.
Democrat base stayed home. And R's have only had the House for 4 years and Obama used Reid to block bills coming to the Senate floor.
Obama's legacy will be that he was President of only liberal America and not a President for all of America.
Sad.
