I don't know if one exists, that's why I'm hoping for one!

Obama spent all of his political good will he had with the repubs when he jammed universal health care thru congress, before anyone knew what the bill even said. It could have been the best bill ever passed, but forgive me for not taking his word on it. It's left a bad taste that we will not soon forget, nevermind the fact that I've seen several polls again and again say a slight majority of Americans want obamacare repealed.

I don't see why you would think it's that far fetched.

Which party held extending unemployment benefits (something always done) hostage to extending the Bush tax-cuts? Republicans yes, extending tax cuts. Cut being the operative word there.
Which party wants to eliminate the inheritance tax -- something only the rich pay? Republicans getting rid of dumb overtaxation policy is a bad thing? Why should I pay tax on money that's already been taxed?
Responses in blue.

Wouldn't surprise me if they did run a clansman.

If you need further proof that the President no longer has any political clout, then look no further than the gun control vote, which didn't even make it out of the Democratic Senate!

LOL
So then you admit that it isn't the president's fault if things aren't getting passed, it's the republicans who block anything brought up. Glad you can finally admit your party is the party of no & do nothing.

The relevant passage is Article I, Section 2.

Redistricting, Gerrymandering and the Constitution"

don't forget the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 2

Yes, especially all the wars McCain would've started that are "not getting done."

And yet he is now serving his second term as President. Romney is no longer a part of any national discussion because he just doesn't matter. And you remain just another anonymous poster on the internet.

Obama is in the Oval Office and has well over three years to implement his policies and agendas. Get used to it.

You might want to click your heels three times and see if it does the conservatives any good at all.

I hope the Republicans keep up the good work in preventing BO's agenda from being passed.
