>>>I do not defend everything he has done, or not done, but it has to be viewed in the context of an opposition which from day one has attempted to derail everything he has tried to do.

>>>You are joking, aren't you? For the first 2 years of his first term, he had democratic majorities in both the House and the Senate. He managed to ram through the ACA without a single republican vote. Exactly what opposition are you talking about?

>>I believe that would be the Republicans. And I think you know a thin majority is no mandate in our legislative system. They have obstructed Obama right from the beginning. He had to fight for months for bank reform after the crash of 2008, which should have been a slam dunk. The battle over health care reform went on for over a year. (Not that the losers will ever accept defeat). I'm sure you remember Mitch McConnell's infamous statement that their #1 priority was making Obama a one term President. Not the economy, not health care, not extricating ourselves from two wars, not crime. We have all these problems and the top priority is beating the Democrats. How twisted is that?

>>And before you say it, the Democrats are no better.
