So the 2 years his party had majorities in both houses of congress don't matter? Wasn't Harry Reed who held an unprecedented number of bills from going to vote n the Senate for 4 more years his party controlled the Senate on Obama's side? It's only the 2 years his failed policies lost both houses of congress that count?houndawg wrote:I gave him higher marks for getting anything at all done in the face of scorched-earth opposition every day for eight years.

I probably should've gone with a 4 since he came in with such high expectations and he ended up not coming close to meeting any of those expectations.

You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

Re: Obama Rating
He never really was able to wrestle control of the party from Reid, though. If anyone was an obstructionist in the Senate for the entirety of Obama's term it was Reid. That man did more damage to his party than the Republicans ever could've done.houndawg wrote:I gigged him for that too.SDHornet wrote: Uhhh...you forgot about that super majority he had when he first took office....a super majority that he let Pelosi and Reid hijack.
