Bullshit. Same way lobbyists got to 3 Republicans and they couldn't get it done, same thing happened to us. Blue dogs.I wouldn't bet money on you that if I were you. Obama is probably going to be seen as one of the finest presidents we've ever had. A lesser man could not have pulled off what he did under the circumstances. Republicans controlledl the Congress and the purse strings but Obama earned his paycheck while we paid republicans to do absolutely nothing. Now the chickens have come home to roost Republican got blindsided by the Trump Victory and now they don't have a clue as to how to run the government due to their 8 years of idleness during the Obama era.History will show he did a great job. You were conned.You do know Obama left Trump an unemployment rate of under 5% don't you?
LOL...what did Barry have to do with the unemployment rate, JQ? He really didn't have an economic plan to create jobs for the last six years he was in office! He's the guy who had to use "Jobs created or saved" as his go to statistic because despite spending nearly a trillion dollars in stimulus money to create jobs...so few jobs were created that it was a major embarrassment to Obama and his minions!
I disagree, Sealy...I think historians will find Barack Obama memorable because he was the first black President of the United States. I think his "accomplishments" will be seen as modest at best and in some ways as what led to the rejection of Progressive political power in the US.
You can only blame so much on GOP "control", JQ! The fact is...Barack Obama came into office with large Democratic majorities in the House and the Senate. What he DID with those majorities is what led to the biggest one term turn around in modern political history with dozens of Democrats getting voted out of office because they supported things like the Affordable Care Act and the Obama Stimulus that managed to waste nearly a trillion dollars of tax payer money while creating so few jobs they attempted to hide how bad things were behind the whole "Jobs created or saved" farce!
Barry had the power. The voters took that power away from him because of what he did with it. When he was first elected he lectured the GOP minorities that elections have consequences and that he had won. When the GOP took back the House and Senate, Barack Obama did a complete 180 on that concept and declared that he had a phone and a pen and if Congress wouldn't give him what he wanted...then he would use Executive Orders to push through his agenda.
I'm rather amused by your view that the GOP was at fault for stopping Obama's agenda in 2010...when they were elected by the voters and sent to Washington to do just that...but you think it's admirable for the Democrats to oppose EVERYTHING that Trump proposes even though Trump was elected by the people to change the way things work in Washington.
And the idiots that voted Obama didn't show up to midterms. Midterm are Republicans secret weapon.
And don't forget what happened to Republicans. They all got trumped too
