REPOST: I'm curious...who here thinks they or anyone else, could have accomplished more than PBO [View all]

[Old and In the Way]

In the last 6 years, given the political reality of a hostile Congress and SCOTUS? Seriously, please weigh in and tell us how you could have done a better job...assuming you could have gotten yourself elected...which is a pitiful point because no one who posts here would ever have the intestinal fortitude to even attempt such a task. But tell me why you could have done more than PBO has done. Easy to tear done, harder to give a hypothetical better case for why you (or your hypothetical better option) could have accomplished more.

Love to hear from some of the professedly great progressive, influential minds on DU...particularly how they or someone else would have made them happy...with a a Republican House and a Senate that's almost evenly divided.


Hope this doesn't get hidden, but I'm asking these important and consistently great critics of Obama to weigh in...no call outs because they are the amongst the very smartest people who post here. Surely, they have better solutions that the rest of us qnd we should have listened to them {edited for clarity"}..

I admit to being a Democratic homer...I will take a bad Democrat over a good Republican/Independent every time. Why? It ought to be obvious in this binary political world we live in. But maybe we haven't suffered enough, yet.

Restarting this thread, without naming names of critics on DU, so hopefully it won't get locked for supporting a Democratic President.. I was unable to respond to a lot of comments on the thread as I was not "on the net" at the time it got shut down. Feel feel to copy/paste your original responses and I will gladly respond! Remember though, anyone who chooses to negatively respond, please include someone who they think could actually have accomplished more then PBO over the past 7 years or so, given the specific political reality that Obama has had to deal with. Should be fun....
