What kind of leader is Obama when he hasn't gotten all of what he wants when he had a majority in both houses?

Well, I really hate to defend him but he let the far left run wild and that ain't never gonna get ya anywhere.

I'm sure you are simply an Obama-hater, run of the mill. But oddly, I agree with the premise of your question. No President gets all of what he wants, that never happens. But he's way too nice to Republicans. He needs to drop this bipartisan b.s. and light a fire under the butt of Congressional Democrats to get something done. It's clear that Republicans care less about what the people want than they do opposing anything Obama or the Democrats put forth. So screw them. When is Obama going to realize this and quit trying to coddle them? Soon I hope.

A Democrat.

They NEED Republicans to get anything done. Democrat rule #1 is ALWAYS blame ALL of your actions on Republicans. So, the President can blame his executive orders on the previous administration's "mess he inherited" but when Congress passes legislation and everyone knows the GOP is completely powerless, Democrats have to take the blame for their own work. That is an unacceptable proposition to ANY Democrat, so when the GOP is powerless, so are the Democrats.

Never in history has such a piss-poor "leader" been given such props from his supporters that he can't even fix his mistakes because he's being told he's not making any. This guy has finally surpassed Carter as the absolute worst leader during my lifetime.

I couldn't stand Clinton, but I'd take him over Obama. At least that guy had charisma if nothing else. This guy's just a pompous, arrogant neophyte who thinks he has all the answers when in reality, he has none.

He'll prove to be effective when the book closes on him. Recently, it has been clear that he is facing some level of obstructionism and he will circumvent that by using executive powers and reconciliation rules if he has to. He did spend some time trying to bring Republicans into the mix but they seem more eager to bite his arm off. It's encouraging that some Republicans crossed the line to sign important legislation on a jobs bill, so the tide may be turning. He's capable of doing some good things. We'll see in another three years.

Wise man say: To eat an elephant, start with one bite at a time.

Obama say: Let's open our mouths and shove the whole darn thing in.

Our system of government is set up so that a President can not get everything they want.

Ineffective.

Conservatives obstruct everything Obama does, then blame him because he's being obstructed.

Just.... wow!

0bama couldn't lead a Turd to the septic tank!!!
