It's time to get over Obama.

244. In your argument for change, Obama doesn't matter

Until the current system of government allows for lawmakers to actually pass laws; any democratic president whether it is Obama or Bernie Sanders is going to have to get past the gerrymandered congress to create any actual change.

While I don't agree with everything Obama has done, I'll at least try to understand it. Some bad things have happened under his watch, but you need to remember that we are a country of hundreds of million of people.

I'm not arguing that change isn't needed, but replacing figureheads isn't the way it needs to be done.

Change is going to come by GOTV. It really is as simple as that. Once there's enough democrats in office, the middle will shift to the left and this GOP obstructionism will become something of the past. Until then, the issues we are having now are ones you should really come to expect.

Obama became a lame duck the moment the repubs gained control of the house. And your next leader, regardless of his amazing ideas, will be a lame duck from the moment he takes office if the GOP still holds a majority.

What I'm happy with and I'm looking forward to is Obama using his executive powers more. Maybe he doesn't, but as a 2nd term lame duck president, what does he have to lose?

Let's plan for the future, but lets not give up the battle for today!
