3. "you have not controlled the conversation on anything" That's a joke - right?

Surely you jest. Obama has totally controlled the conversation when it comes to the ACA and then again at the end of 2012 when he forced the Republicans to vote to let the Bush tax cuts expire on upper incomes. He and VP Biden are doing a good job controlling the conversation on better gun regulation. It's not that they aren't controlling the conversation, it's just that the Republicans are so beholding to the NRA and other big-money interests and so intransigent on anything the POTUS supports that he doesn't get what he, and the American public, want.
