The result of having a POTUS who refused to do the hard work of compromise, reaching across the aisle and most damning his assumptions about what ordinary people think.
Wait, did not the Republicans say they would do everything in their power to make sure he fails?

And did so because he has no regard the the process.
Took out his pen and got to signing.
And summarily dumped his caboose via election, not fiat, in the WH, Congress and countless State held offices.
It is what it is and to view it any other is silly

I have no problem with the Republicans opposing policies they disagree with, I was only replying to the thought that he didn't reach across the table. I wouldn't try to knock down a stone wall with my foot either

Funny thing about circumventing congress and issuing executive order after executive order. When you're no longer President, the next guy can simply void everything you do.
Obama clearly never studied the whole checks and balances portion of our constitution.

It is the next best thing to never being elected. He has done more harm to minority political candidates than he will outlive. He is not an American.

No, there hasn't been.
But to be fair we've never had a president that sucked so bad.

I don't recall that. Which ones are you referring to?

it's amazing to see someone actually move forward and ignore the rash of shite being thrown at him by the media and fringe leftists!

If the FED is here Wilson is still here. That was his landmark achievement.
If we are talking their entire agenda swept aside by the very next President I'd guess it has never happened. If we are talking about their most important achievements I'd assume there are a few.
I'd say most of Washington's (and founder's) legacy is gone with how much the U.S. has changed. Probably any president that had any successful move against the central banks, like Jackson, lost the biggest element to their presidential runs. Lincoln also lost his greatest achievement, which was the greenback. (There should be no mistaking who the Union's greatest enemy was and it wasn't the Confederacy.) There's no mistaking that the United States of America does not run like the intended united states of America.

I can understand the voters being upset by that, we vote them in to do certain things. If I remember correctly, he said that after the Speaker Of The House said what I referred to earlier.

My fondest hope is that Trump and the Republican Congress will be able to reverse everything that Obama did. The Democrats forced through Obamacare with zero bipartisan support and against the will of the majority of Americans. They deserve what I hope is coming.

Trump was voted in because they did everything to appease Ibama. They were all lip service and the wishes of their voters were ignored. The establishment was defeated this election.
The GOP failed in opposing him
