Yes, better, but were you in a position of power to possibly have an influence on the decision?

Which came after years of Republicans trying to make him a "one term President".  You can try all you want, but the wall won't talk back.  That's what Obama was facing from day one.


Like I said, it was a different time.  Different economy, different ideas on working with the other side.  Reagan also started the continuing gap between workers and owners.  Along with the destruction of unions.  And many other ideologies that have led to where we are today.

Yes he started the Gap between middle and upper class, but from the start to end of Bush 1, it started going back towards the middle class, then along come Clinton, who pushed it right over the edge by allowing companies to outsource jobs. the Gap Tripled under Clinton. Then was flat again during Bush's term. Then Whoops!! The Gap between Middle and Upper class reached a high under Obama at 6.6 times the middle class on 2014.

tl;dr: Obama could get things passed with the GOP for 4 months our of eight years.  The rest of the time they stonewalled everything he tried.

Carry on.

Well then, he had ample time to get bills ready for that 4 month window. Or maybe he should've learned how to work with them instead of against them (Republicans that is). Pass a few of ours, we'll pass a few of yours etc.

Didn't seem to stop Clinton either and the Republicans had the Majority in Congress for his entire term.
