No, Obama's been a remarkable president. He will be remembered for Obamacare. He will also be remembered for having driven the national debt to unsustainable levels ... and for his administration's divisiveness and ineptness in foreign policy.You mean... Obama just might go down in history as an unremarkable President? Say it ain't so, Shoeless Joe!
If it had not been for Republican obstructionism we would have seen FAR more progress.
Therefore, the blame for any present political failings falls squarely on the GOP.
Absolutely.Anyone interested in discussing the topic here?
Surprising results from a poll conducted by Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government: Poll: Harvard John F. Kennedy School of Government
Cambridge, MA A new national poll of Americas 18- to 29- year-olds by Harvards Institute of Politics (IOP), located at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, finds slightly more than half (51%) of young Americans who say they will definitely be voting in November prefer a Republican-run Congress with 47 percent favoring Democrat control a significant departure from IOP polling findings before the last midterm electionsAnd a warm welcome to the new faces of the Republican party.

He has two remaining years to work with the Republicans, should they be lucky enough to win, and redeem his legacy by working in a bipartisan manner.
Absolutely.
Recent evidence suggests that the decline of the Republican party has been exaggerated.
I guess we'll know for sure tomorrow night. I tend to feel there is some softening of the commitment on the part of those who have traditionally voted Republican, and that that's because they've too often caved instead of standing up for the values of those very people who put them into office, but that may have been exaggerated, as you said.
Tell me about it! A friend of mine who is into guns just indicated that he's tired of all the campaign commercials on both sides (Gov. Walker vs. Mary Burke) and is going to vote for a 3rd party candidate just to "make a statement". This in spite of the fact that Gov. Walker signed into law the Castle Doctrine and Concealed Carry for our state, which is something my friend was very happy about. Just unbelievable!
BTW, voting to make a statement will only give you satisfaction on election day. Voting for someone who has fought for what you believe in could benefit you for the next 4 years. I would never vote against someone who governed to my satisfaction just to make a "statement". People did that 2 years ago, and look what we still have as a result.
Everyone who survives must eventually grow up, under Obama the USA is slowly growing up and leaving the wild west and covered wagons behind, they are or should be consigning it to where it belongs into history, the world is getting smaller every day.But as Michelle once said: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

It's like a New World Order ...Everyone who survives must eventually grow up, under Obama the USA is slowly growing up and leaving the wild west and covered wagons behind, they are or should be consigning it to where it belongs into history, the world is getting smaller every day.

Americans have for years thought that the US was the centre of the world and anything any good came only from the US,Were people still using covered wagons up until 6 years ago? I'm not sure how we had the "wild west" until then either. I hope you aren't hoping for the "Brave new world" to emerge. That's the direction we're headed if we keep going the direction we currently are.
:o... under Obama the USA is slowly growing up and leaving the wild west and covered wagons behind ...
Americans have for years thought that the US was the centre of the world and anything any good came only from the US,
that as been shown many times to be a false assumption, compared to the rest of the world the US is way down the list on everything except bad things, on those lists they usually come out on top.
In 2008 when Obama was elected everyone was saying how it was the end of the Republican party. But 6 years of lies, coverups, deception and 24/7 whining has people seeing our racist-in-chief for who he really is.
Best case scenario would be for Republicans to take over Congress. If Obama was smart he would do as Bill Clinton did and cooperate with the Republicans and enjoy a prosperous final 2 years. But I think his arrogance will not allow him to submit to anything beyond his own self-delusion.
You mean the Democrats might filibuster a Republican bill?Well, he almost certainly will instruct his people in Congress to obstruct almost every legislative act possible, so that they won't reach his desk for signature (or a veto). He doesn't want to be put in that position, you know.
