I was actually pissed off at Obama by the end of 2009. He had 59 votes in the Senate and a huge majority in Congress and only passed about 1/2 as much stimulus as was needed, and took single payer off the table, even as a negotiating poont, before even beginning work on the Frankenstein monster known as the ACA. Also too, put Debbie Wassermann-Schultz in as head of the DNC and kept her there while the Dems lost race after race, statehouse after statehouse.PurpleJ said:

I'm gonna have to agree.

His management of relations with Congress in those first two years was extremely disappointing. Every new president has a bit of a learning curve, but for a guy who came from Congress, and who should know how the institution works and what a President needs to do to work effectively with it, he did a lousy job from the get-go.AZDuck said:

In fairness, he was basically Presidential Candidate Obama for his abbreviate term in the Senate, and I'm not sure that was really even his fault. He was the party mascot.BearsWiin said:

We heard some things about Obama early in his first term but we were asked to hold off on talking about it out here.
Nobody knows the damage Obama did to the program. Trump will ask the tough questions and get America back! -
Please do tell how doubling the deficit only did half the job of providing ample stimilus???AZDuck said:

Did it include the failed ca$h for clunkers program or the $200 billion poured down the drain in green energy start up funding? -

He never really was in Congress. He was elected in 2004 and was beginning to be groomed for a Pres run shortly after that. He had no ties nor base to the Senate. He basically had no idea how things were done there nor who had the power. And if He did know, He simply didn't care.BearsWiin said:
