[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Obama is in the fourth year of his presidency.[/quote]
Correct.  Apologies for my typo.  I meant "after Obama's third year."[/quote]

Actually, he's in the 8th year of his presidency and the fourth year of his 2nd term.

The man was elected to lead this country twice, but Senate leaders seem to think that for 25% of a President's term they shouldn't be allowed to do anything of substance.  And people wonder why Washington has a reputation for being the place where nothing happens.[/quote]

The Democrats were repudiated in the House and Senate in 2014 despite the Republicans being the party of "no". Perhaps that is what the electorate wants and unfettered authority to Obama is something the electorate does not support.

Keep in mind that Obama had an almost filibuster proof Senate majority in 2008, a substantial majority in the House and the majority of the gubernatorial positions and in each election thereafter the Democrats have lost seats in the House, the Senate and governors. They lost the majority in just about every branch of government. Yes, he won reelection to the presidency but given what the Republicans have achieved in other regards, the electorate has not given a ringing endorsement to the Democrats.

And before one hears the crap about gerrymandering, yes there is that on both sides but it affects mainly the House seats.
