      “For the President to be effective in the next term, he needs our increased support and support in congress…”? Am I missing something? He came into office with democratic control in the Senate and House and one of the highest voter turnout rates in history… He wasn’t effective THEN, isn’t effective NOW.

        Did you ever even watch the news during those first two years, or did you completely forget about how the Republicans were either using filibusters, or threatening to use one?  Since 2007, the Republicans have used filibusters over 350+ times. They broke the record for most filibusters in a year several times. Now, don’t get me wrong. There are a lot of awful, corrupt people on both sides of the aisle in Congress. But the Republicans have shown time and time again that even when you don’t have a majority, you can drag Congress to a standstill and gridlock the whole process, just because they’d rather see Obama and Democrats lose and become unpopular than do anything productive.

        It was their reaction to Obama’s placement of unelected Czars, recess appointments, gross misuse of executive orders, and shitty healthcare bill forced down people’s throats (that penalized states that wanted to opt out). Good for them for using the system.  Also, you speak of being productive? Liberals bashed Bush for vacations and golf. In four years, the President has played more golf, taken more vacations, and campaigned more than Bush did in eight years. How is that being productive? How is missing National Security meetings productive? How is blaming Bush productive? How is MORE government control over MY life more productive? Give power back to the states. My local and state governments know me better than Washington does. That would lessen the role of the Federal government and make it more productive because their nose wouldn’t be in the details.
