THANKS IN ADVANCE
Like the rest of the BOG, I give him credit for taking harsh political and bureaucratic realities into account for the last (almost) 6 years. I think he has tried hard to work with the Republicans. I think he's done with that. He will meet them halfway if he absolutely has to, but no more. People seem to think he can run the government according to his wishes only. They conveniently forget he has to work with right wingers Boehner and McConnell.
This is close as we're going to see the President with a mythical "magic wand". I'm loving it. I support you 100%, President Obama, and the Democratic Party in advancing the progressive agenda. Happy Holidays to everyone in the BOG !

(31,443 posts)The partisanship, during this president's two terms, has been draining to most of America, sans the self appointed "activists". I am thrilled with his latest moves, but beginning next year, with a GOP dominated Congress, I accept that he will have to work with them to keep the lights on.

(37,468 posts)We all get it in the BOG. He gets the best deal he can under very adverse circumstances, and will do so in 2015 and 2016.

(20,219 posts)That's the reality. Sigh.
Gotta admit, though, the increasing public awareness of many humanitarian issues now wouldn't be happening if the pukes didn't make themselves so blatant.

(23,946 posts)the kind of dictator the constitution allows in an emeegencybof non-governance blockading by a hostile Congress.
He is doing what the situation demands,what the constitution intended in it's carefully considered division of powers, keep government working at all times and keep it out of the hands of the oligarchy.

(87,490 posts)They always underestimate him at their peril. His calm cool approach they interpret to be weakness, well it is not. So many times people cried wolf and said he would cave, he has not.
I am so proud of this President.
Thanks Steve
