Have you noticed how the left and Obama ram trough unpopular policies?

quote:

Can the left though Obama or Obama himself bring himself to do anything that a majority of Americans agree upon so he doesn't have to be so conniving to get his initiatives through?

Politicians are scared to death to work with the other side on bold issues because they don't want to be branded as "catering to the other side" by their bases. It sickens me how Presidents act that just because they win an election, that just means they have a mandate. Its as if they just dismiss the 40+% of the population that didn't vote for them.

I'm not a show me a birth certificate and tell the truth about Benghazi Obama hater. I just think he's failed as leader. He's made no effort to transcend being the leader of his party when he had the opportunity to win goodwill from his opponents. For instance, when he "evolved" on Gay Marraige, he could've been a bridge to both sides. Instead, he just used the issue as a wedge. When the BP Oil Spill happened, he vacationed in Martha's Vineyard instead of the Gulf...which would've really helped the economy down there in a number of ways.

Obama never lived up to being that tranformational figure. He's no different than any other politician....and that's what the Republicans failed to emphasize about him in the 2012 election.

Obama other Leftists are most comfy with authoritarian methods of governance.

One can put all the blame on Obama for doing things unilaterally, but doing so ignores the united and absolute opposition he faces from republicans on nearly everything, and the role partisan politics plays in shaping public opinion.

And when the Republicans get a chance they make sure not to ruffle any feathers so they give in the the Democrats. While the Dems take the torch and sprint to the left. We need someone to take the torch back to the right!
