We eat our own
The number one goal of the rethugs from the moment Obama was elected was to never vote for anything he wanted, PERIOD. Obama does not have a magic wand, he can not just snap his fingers and demand things change. He needs 60 votes in the Senate, which has been near impossible at times. He needs our support and many never bothered to give it, most believed their responsibility ended the moment they left the voting booth
If the professional left had spent the time and energy working on the 2010 elections instead of calling him everything but a white man they would have got about everything they wanted. But most idiots do not realize how government works, we never had a super majority so the WH had to get some Rethugs to vote our way, which meant some compromise. They managed that in the 1st 2 years because they only needed a couple votes. It took 60 years to get HCR but Obama got it. How was he thanked, the professional left bad mouthed him every chance they could. People are lemmings nothing more, and the more the professional left bitched the more the general population believed their shit. So instead of giving him the super majority he needed to make real changes in Washington they lost the House and almost lost the Senate. Now do get anything done we have to give away the farm, and some times we do just that, because democrats govern to make things better while the Rethung govern to win the next election.
If the professional left had been behind Obama and got the vote out in 2010 we could have tweaked HCR. Canada's HCR sucked when it was 1st started and they continually worked to make it better, we could not work to make it better because the professional left decided they would teach Obama a lesson and hurt us all while doing it.
Look at the list of accomplishments Obama pulled off in the 1st two years, it is amazing what all he got done
When you have both sides saying how bad Obama is the masses start to believe it,
