He pulled the country forward with the Lily Ledbetter Fair Care Act, with the Affordable Care Act, with the rescinding of DADT, with the stimulus (yes, things would be far worse today without it), with new stringent fuel efficiency regulations, with declaring torture illegal by proclamation, by setting up the Consumer Affairs bureau, with signing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ... and a host of other things.

Did he fail to get some things done ,or compromise to get desperately needed short-term things like extension of unemployment benefits done? Sure. But as the article in the OP points out, FDR made plenty of hold-your-nose things, too.

Your kind of revisionist, fact deficient argumentation will not sway those of us who study the facts of both history and today's policy. So keep trying, but you're fighting a losing battle.
