Notice that Obama has been able to get things done when it comes to foreign policy and has been quite successful.

And yes, on domestic issues, he hasn't been as successful according to many.

What's the common variable? Let's say it together:

C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S!!!

Where the constitution gives the president the authority to act as Commander in Chief without the obstructionist tactics of Congress (i.e., the Republicans and some Blue Dog/Corporatist Democrats), he has been successful.

Where the U.S. Constitution *REQUIRES* that he work with Congress, he has failed in many ways.

Again, what's the common variable here:

C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S!!!

I'm so happy that you get it. Too bad Michael Moore and many here on DU, as well as the ODSers fail to understand this very important lesson. This is Civics 101. It's not that difficult to understand. One doesn't have to be a political scientist to understand it, either!!
