He flubbed with the Gays in the Military EO, but that pales in comparison.



Also had his first and second choices for Attorney General shot down, the Travel Office fiasco, Waco, Black Hawk Down, and Hillarycare.

Turned out well in the long run but the first two years were rough.

Obama's signature legislation is a massive frick up by any metric. Nobody denies that.


And the GOP with control of both houses can't fix it? Trump can't close the deal? Pathetic.

Do tell us what 'most' mean, specifically? Generalizations are worthless.

I know you are too dumb and evil to understand, but Trump isn't a dictator. Congress failed, not Trump.

I feel the same way about Obama and Hillary voters. They got conned for three straight elections. No solutions from those two. Only promises of more intolerance and bigotry.

Let me start you off with three:

1. Badly thought out and executed travel ban
2. Having his NSA leave less than a month into his job
3. Repeal and replace Obamacare

Why couldn't he have started off with something more beneficial to the entire country like "tax reform" that more people could get behind?

Yes it is but that doesn't make it worse than passing horrible legislation.

Clinton had a rocky start, but I think it pales in comparison to Trump.

But it was to be expected. A guy full of bravado and hubris and no political experience was bound to have some challenges along the way. The majority of them are self inflicted, and have been easily avoidable, but that's his personality. Clinton at least had a little humility and was willing to admit his errors and learn. Not sure Trump has that capacity.

3 isn't 'most.' And the fact that your priorities are not his are not signs of failure.

And here's a much more exhaustive list of his accomplishments that goes well beyond 3. Enjoy!
