This is the absolute truth.
Same thing probably happened in LBJ's time with FDR and his shitastic new deal and gov't programs we're still dealing with 75+ years later.

It's amazing how blind you guys are.
LINK the GOP has rejected every carrot Obama has extended.
Why do you think we have Obamacare in its present form? It's patterned after a 2006 bipartisan bill.
The stimulus. 28% of it were tax cuts.
The extension of the bush tax cuts.
He'll Obama finally backed Keystone and the are publicans filibustered that!
They even filibustered their own bill. LINK

On the night of Barack Obama’s inauguration, a group of top GOP luminaries quietly gathered in a Washington steakhouse to lick their wounds and ultimately create the outline of a plan for how to deal with the incoming administration.
“The room was filled. It was a who’s who of ranking members who had at one point been committee chairmen, or in the majority, who now wondered out loud whether they were in the permanent minority,” Frank Luntz, who organized the event, told FRONTLINE.
. Among them were Senate power brokers Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl and Tom Coburn, and conservative congressmen Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan.
After three hours of strategizing, they decided they needed to fight Obama on everything. The new president had no idea what the Republicans were planning.
Tonight’s film, Inside Obama’s Presidency, explores the behind-the-scenes story of his first four years. With inside accounts from his battles with his Republican opponents over health care and the economy to his dramatic expansion of targeted killings of enemies, FRONTLINE examines the president’s key decisions and the experiences that will inform his second term.

A bill which never got out of committee. That bill was as big a loser as Obamacare, and Obama himself.

The other $560 billion of it was payoffs to Obama's cronies, and giveaways to industries that everyone knew were destined to fail, which the vast majority of them did. There were no shovel-ready jobs, and the proof that the stimulus was such a total failure lies in the fact that he and the dems have been begging for more infrastructure and "jobs" money ever since.

He approved only the southern half of it. The southern half of the pipeline did not even need his approval to be built. He said "no" to crossing the Canadian border. THAT was the rub.

people don't want one party's programs put in place. That's why midterm elections go to the opposition.
Also, did you act like this when Americans put D's in charge? I bet not.

This. Historians are part of academia and academia is dominated by liberal progressives. They will paint Obama in a very positive light regardless of the facts and realized public opinion.

People actually thinking Obama was willingly to work with anyone across the Isle is downright hilarious. He's never done that before. He's not going to do anything in the next 2 years. All we're going to see is him whining and finding new ways to be incompetent.

1. Leave his pride at the door and realize that R's took congress for a reason. The people of the U.S. voted them there. He can actually realize that being the president doesn't always mean "my way or the highway" and work with R's to act on important issues.
Not in his DNA.

Obama's done.
It's over.
It's over.

On what planet is LBJ revered? He was an horrible human being and a worse president.
