9. I wish Obama hadn't capitulated so quickly.

Starting with Clinton's time, Republicans have launched a full out attack on Democratic presidents and their policies. But these Centrist type presidents had an Achilles Heel. They all thought they needed to compromise in order to move forward on their policies. Obama would realize that they weren't even going to do that for him, (because he was black). The ACA was the perfect example. It was actually a program started by the heritage foundation.

Bottom line, Republicans only respect tough, mean-spirited leaders. Maybe we should start going on the offensive in order to overcome the FoxNews lies network? Throw truth and consequences, because this country will always be divided until we all live by the same rules.
