Perhaps you think this assertion as
odd. Witness his successes:
- passed Obamacare, lock, stock, and barrel
- DREAM Act, and suppressing enforcement of immigrations laws by ICE/INS
- making appointments that require Senate approval w/o same, and making them stick
- choosing not to enforce laws that he disagrees with
- tilting US foreign policy away from Israel and towards Islam, even radical sects
- dramatically increasing Welfare (in the old days, we called it “food stamps”)
- rolling back decreases in Medicaid installed by Clinton
- making the world “trillion” a word in common parlance regarding fiscal spending
- refusing to suppress the Communist Chinese blue-water navy or the nuclearization of Iran
- advancing the cause of the “Imperial Presidency” (Google it, people) without a peep from the media
- a wife who messes with school lunches
O, however, was handed a bipartisan
Congress. He has neither the desire nor skill to deal with same.
Confronted with the same circumstances
(does the name Newt Gingrich ring a bell?), Clinton did have the
skills and moved mountains. He happily took credit for the whole
shebang. Upon hearing a Republican equivocate on an important
subject, LBJ would instantly call him into his office, share a bottle
of good Bourbon, and a bill would be crafted before they reached the
bottom of the bottle.
It is difficult to imagine O with the
same abilities. Without them, he will have little if any success
going forward. Most of his past successes are easily reversed by
Executive Order.
