Obama could go out an a high note if he wanted

Assuming R's take control of congress, Obama really does have a chance to be remembered as a decent president.
In my mind, he has two options:
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.
2. Spend two years bitching and moaning like a petulant child about how congress is irresponsible and refusing to present bills that he is willing to sign.
I believe people can change. Which option do ya'll think he'll take?

Wait until Presidential historians get a hold of his legacy, he'll be top 10.
LBJ was widely considered an abysmal failure during my childhood, and now he's borderline revered, despite being a horrific leader and a sociopath.

Zero chance of that happening IMO. When has he sold out himself or the Dems thus far? Never.

mostly the same morons that voted him a Nobel Peace prize for getting elected as a drooling liberal idiot.

Is this what you would be saying? Are you somehow better than him?

All of your posts sound like drunken rambling.

As I have posted elsewhere, I will be truly shocked (but pleasantly so) if he chooses #1.
1. He has shown no indication that he is willing to do so. He is not a "wheeler-dealer" type of president. He is a "pick wedge issues and run with it" type of president. Not saying one is better than another, since they both have pluses and minuses, it's not who he is.
2. You assume the repubs will want to work with him. They have no incentive to do so.
Pick an issue- I don't see a middle ground.
Immigration- too many opposed in the republican base (a shame imho, but it is what it is).
Tax reform? Yeah right. Obama won't move to stop inversions because it will be "helping the 1%ers"
Minimum wage? Maybe if the unemployment rate drops- but seriously doubt it. This is mostly a BS wedge issue.
Entitlement reform? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Actually passing a budget? I see a lot of standoffs and brinkmanship here.
Obamacare? Obama will veto a repeal and Repubs won't offer any fixes.
I just see a lot more of the same. Maybe less "Bush's fault" and more "republican congress's fault" ala the NIH ebola issue. So there is that.

Whatever option is worst for our once great country that he is hell-bent on fundamentally transforming into a banana republic.

I think his approval rating would skyrocket if he just resigned.

Interesting post, but at the end of the day, Barack Hussein Obama is a committed Progressive idealogue. He is not willing to compromise on anything.
Anything.
Anything.
