We are slowly, but steadily recovering from losses of 800,000 jobs per month. I'm sorry if he wasn't able to clean up the right wing mess fast enough to suit you.
You know what, Bulldog? You could have made that argument six years ago and had a point! Coming up on the 8 year mark of the Obama Presidency that claim has become laughable. Tell me what Barack Obama's been doing the last two years to grow the economy? I challenge you to even tell me who his economic advisors are right now! You know why NOBODY knows who they are without Googling them...because Obama hasn't proposed something that would grow the economy since Larry Summers left years ago. He's absolutely clueless when it comes to economics and doesn't even TRY at this point!
He doesn't waste time trying to do things he knows the right will block. He already said he had wasted too much time hoping they would cooperate. When he realized that they truly would fight everything, even if it hurt the country, he changed his tactics and got quite a lot done.
Reagan worked with Tip O'Neal...Clinton worked with Newt Gingrich...Bush worked with Nancy Pelosi...but for some reason Barry can't work with anyone from the other side?
Gee, Bulldog...maybe we should have elected that Romney guy last election...you know the GOP Governor from a heavily Democratic State that had already proven he COULD work across the aisle?
So you;re saying anybody on the right was willing to work with him? He tried. They refused.
So you're saying that when Barack Obama took office with those large majorities in the House and the Senate that he was willing to work with the GOP? Really? When did that happen? If you'll recall, he called a meeting with the GOP leadership and then lectured them that "elections have consequences...I won!" Then he let Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid do both the Obama Stimulus and ObamaCare with Republicans excluded from the process. It was totally "My way or the highway" right up until the 2010 mid-terms when the political shit hit the fan because the American electorate voted out Democrats at the highest rate in modern political history! Amazingly the guy who stated elections have consequences two years earlier did a complete about face and declared that elections DIDN'T have consequences because he had a phone and a pen and that he would be circumventing Congress and pushing his agenda with Executive Orders! If that is what you call "working" with the Opposition then you have a strange concept of how that "works"!
They were invited to participate, but refused.
