He has done a lot, just things I am sure you are very much against. Funny how you far right Cons have already forgotten about 2012 and what's his name that ran against Obama.

I can't think of anything substantive he's gotten done since 2009.

Good grief...
Who's denying him credit for winning the election?

There is a huge difference between winning an election, and being an effective leader..

I know you can't because you would never admit to yourself that Obama has done anything or anything you agree with.

no, no, no, all we've heard from these left wing kooks is how Obama cant get anything done because the GOP is blocking him..

Make up your mind.

Democrats didnt even have a supermajority in 2010.

Democrats only had a supermajority for 3 weeks total out of Obama's entire first 2 years in office and that was all in 2009.

And your response as a whole makes no sense. Democrats had an even larger majority in 2008/2009 than Republicans gained in 2010, so by your own logic, they should have moved left, back then.

The thread starts out by saying that since the 2010 elections swung republican, Obama should have governed to the right, well in 2012, Democrats retained the Presidency and Senate and made gains in both the senate and House, so Obama should be able to swing left by the OP's logic.

The President got less votes in 2012 then he did in 2008, once again, had he moved to the right, he would have increased his support, thereby giving him a mandate, rather than the bull crap we have now.

Keep telling yourself that. That obamacare passed without one single republican vote indicates that for all intents and purposes your revisionist history is pure bunk.

Your logic doesn't even pass the laugh test. By all means, tell us how swinging left would help the President considering that the GOP holds the House? That's just ignorant. Care to think this through before posting?
