(11,555 posts)I have admitted there needs to be changes, and I agree things are not equal and need to be fixed, but damn, the president has done a hell of a lot since he was elected that is actually "GOOD" for the people of this country. No president, and I mean NO president can do everything that every single voter wants them to do. Without the help of congress who does the president make the changes we need to happen? He can't make laws, congress does. He can, and has tried to get congress to work with him, but republicans have fought him every step of the way.
We need congress to pass bills to help those children that are in poverty, bills put tougher regulations on Wall street, bills to create jobs, bills to fix the infrastructure, and on and on. We need congress to do their job!
Am I satisfied? No, but then again no matter who was in office right now, democrat that is, the republicans would be doing the same shit, so what is your solution? We can vote Warren, Sanders, Clinton, or any other democrat into the WH, but if we still have one house of congress controlled by republicans, what will change?
I honestly feel President Obama is one of the best presidents we have had in my life time, and I am 63. While some here will bash the president and say he has accomplished nothing, I know better. My daughter can now get health insurance without paying huge premiums because of a pre-existing condition. Millions will be able to get health care for the first time. Obama care will change health care as we once knew it and for the better. I could link to a list of all the things he has done since elected to help this country, but I have done that before and sadly many refuse to see the facts. Sure he has made mistakes, but he has done far better things for this country that he never seems to get credit for.
You want change then vote the republicans out of office, it's the only way to make it work.
