>> Really? Fuck John King.

King was quoting Democrats. (Well, for that matter, King is a Democrat).

And there was numerous others listed who have great credibility in criticizing him.

>> Obama is going to go down as a very good president. He had a chance at greatness but Rs killed that one.

The reason great presidents are great is that they get things done. Reagan got serious tax reform done, for example, by working with the opposition party. LBJ (not saying he's great but he did get some important things done) used different tactics but his opponents respected him and did as they were told. GWB got a hell of a lot done and that is the reason he will be seen as great.

Obama has gotten nothing done. The one accomplishment was the enactment of a law that is universally hated and that hatred is getting worse as time goes on. And it isn't Republicans. The problem is that Obama and Reid wanted all or nothing, and they're going to end up with nothing. That's on them. After the fucked over the Republicans time and again, it was impossible for them to make a deal because they had no credibility.

This president might as well relocate to Hawaii now, because the next two years, unless he radically changes his approach, will be a waste.
