It's increasingly hard for me to come here with all the Obama bashers so your post makes up for all the bad mouthers who seem to think the President can just stubbornly plant his feet in the ground and get everything he wants. It's a process, and anyone with any sense of recent history, if they admit it to themselves, can see the trend line of things that have gotten done during the President's administration are on the whole positive. Remember where we were as a country 4 years ago. W had us in the toilet. It takes patience and a lot of work and arm twisting to move a 5000 pound elephant to the left. Hell, we even have a health care law now in place that can worked on and moved towards single payer, but it ain't gonna be easy. Nothing is against the repugs and their corporate clients.
