Obama has been constrained by an unprecedented obduracy in his Republican opposition. ‘I can't ever recall a newly elected president being faced with the leader of the other party's caucus saying “Our No. 1 priority is to make this president a one-term president,”’ says Rendell, citing the remark made by Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, that exemplified the fierce partisanship that has attended Obama's tenure. ‘That McConnell would say that in the first nine months of Barack Obama's tenure is absolutely stunning, disgraceful, disgusting — you name the term.’”

>> The mess in this country is primarily attributable to you all. After all its you all who elected GW Bush to office for 8 years. Even if that were true, Obama has been in charge now for more than one term. You can't just keep blaming everything on Bush. At some point, this bastard Obama has to accept responsibility for the mess he has created. If you minimize what happened under Bush and ignore the craziness and refusal to do their jobs that has been the MO of Rs in Congress, then yeah, you can blame Obama. But the truth is Bush was so bad, so incompetent, such a terrible leader.......that he started two failed wars and caused the worse economic collapse since the Great Depression. Rs in Congress have be so bad in their willingness to show any cooperation and have been barely able to contain their racism. Those two negatives would be enough to sink any presidency and yet, the country has made considerable progress under Obama. The fact that you and your cohort want to ignore these realities is why I spend very little time on this thread.
