Uh, he told us he was gonna put more troops into Afghan. Maybe you missed that.

It's pretty hard to correct 30 years (or maybe double that, even) in 11 months. Even harder when not one R will go along with the program; worse; throwing up every hurdle in the world. Yer living in a dream world if you think he has a magic wand that will make the last 30 years go away in a year. Do you seriously think there is one person in the entire world who can make the R's just sit down and not stall? Do you think he is a king who can do what he wants? Do you think the Dems will suddenly vote in mindless lockstep when they have never done that in their history? Not Civil Rights, Not Medicare, not even SS

Teddy Roosevelt proposed Medicare for all in 1912, and yer upset cuz O hasn't done it in 11 months? Get real. Come back and see us when you have convinced the Senate that 50+1 is the majority.

Here's a thought...would you like him to issue signing statements and make some recess appointments to further your goals?
