If Obama keeps harping that he wants to do the best he can for the citizens, and we have a House of Representatives elected by the citizens that has a majority that HE doesn't want to 'work with', what do we learn from THAT logic ?
Obama isn't serving the will of the population is he ?
Obama hates compromise, he wants his cake and eat it too.

i applied, but i never went to college so they denied me the show.
It all started when I was 15 and read a book about him, which impelled me to hang his picture on my bedroom wall. I’m pretty sure I was the only kid on the block who did. In the 48 years since, my budding obsession has only grown. I’m hardly alone in my fascination. Franklin Roosevelt idolized him. Harry Truman called him “the greatest of the greats.” And when Richard Nixon moved into the Oval Office, he requested Wilson’s desk for inspiration.
Presidents earn their places in history not simply through their vision and eloquence but, ultimately, through their actions—what they accomplish when they take their feet off the desk and enlist support in their causes. No act in Woodrow Wilson’s life provides a greater window into his character—or a greater lesson for our current president—than his journey in the last days of summer 1919, when he embarked upon the most quixotic venture in America’s history since its founding—a 29-city barnstorming tour by rail to enlist the American public in his plan to end all wars

I have seen many defectors from Obama though, who realize that he isnt a good President. Few and far between though. I was hard on Bush for all his mistakes, and even harder on this man after ALL the promises he made.
I'm one of them....the few and far between.
I'm really irritated (PISSED OFF!) that I voted or him twice.

I just wonder what all you would say if the situation was reversed. What if Ron Paul had become president, and a liberal obstructionist congress stopped him from making any of the changes that he promised his voters he would make? What if time after time he was stonewalled? Would you be satisfied if his 4 years were completely wasted, as he was prevented from doing anything his campaign was based on? Would you support him if he tried to do what he could "legally", i.e., executive orders (which are very limited, by the way) to bypass an obstructionist liberal congress? I'll bet you a million dollars you would.

Comparing Ron Paul to Obama?
Preposterous.
Obama doesn't have one shred or ounce of integrity Ron Paul has.
And you now regret what, not having a Romney presidency?
It is one or the other.
I am not sad for my support for Obama...not that he is some outstanding president, but because it punches those smarmy corporate purchased anti-American slimeballs that want to see America burn right in the nose.
Anyone whom internally tries to rip the nation down is a traitor.

You didn't answer the question. Would you support your choice of president implementing huge numbers of executive orders to bypass an obstructionist congress?

Obama's politics are extremely right-wing, he's a fiscal conservative, why on earth do people keep calling him a 'communist'?

LOL. When has a "federal law" ever been written with an executive order?

With all due respect, Saturn, no.....
it isn't "one or the other", really. Not in my mind. Romney would also have been a disaster.

What? I agree with you about the "anti-American slimeballs"....
I think Obama is doing what he "can" given the partisan bickering. But, the fact remains that he has increased the 'drone program', and, well, I'm a pacifist.
I thought he was, too. Is he simply 'misguided'? Is he really just a "puppet"? I don't know.
I'd really like to buy into his rhetoric, but his actions (aside from his dealings with Congress - which is what JSOC is: apart from Congressional oversight)......are not helping world peace be realized.
And As Polarizing as Woodrow Wilson was, Obama is NO Woodrow Wilson.

That is totally one of the most outrageous statements I've seen here, and I've seen a lot. He is not right wing by any stretch of the imagination.
