Of course, being a Rightie, you would not recognize that the Republican Congress stated to the pubic that they wanted President Obama was determined by them to be a one term president. They also publicly stated that they would go against anything he requested - laws or bills. I'm amazed that he accomplished as much as he did. President Obama never complained to the public that he was being attacked. He was mature enough to handle the situation like an adult. Their desire, in their own words, was to make the WH white again. Now you've got this whiner and you believe him. Clean the swamp? HAH! ! ! ! !

When he ran for re-election in 2012, Obama wanted to point to his accomplishments in office. Problem was, he had trouble identifying them. He wanted to say that the economy was getting better, but the slow recovery was hampering his ability to sell that idea to the public. He wanted to say that he saved General Motors and Chrysler; his critics argued that he really spent $23 billion of taxpayers' money to force the companies into bankruptcy and save the United Auto Workers Union. Which is precisely what happened. He also tried to claim that federal spending was increasing more slowly on his watch than in any presidency in 60 years, but the data didn't bear out that narrative. When tallied, his budget spent more than all previous Presidents combined.
So, Obama's accomplishments were a little difficult to find in 2012. In 2016, they were a little more obvious;
