Things only got worse for Obama when he returned to Washington in between a pair of epic winter storms.

From the start, 2010 delivered a string of setbacks that built up to an electoral shellacking come November, to use the president's own word.

No matter that the recession was officially over. That sweeping health care changes at last had been enacted. That combat operations in Iraq ended. That General Motors was making money and hiring again. That banks paid back most of the billions they'd borrowed from the government.

"This is what change looks like," Obama said proudly, after the health care law passed.

But. The economic recovery was too slow. The oil gushed for too long. The health care law was too complicated. The unemployment rate too high. The political discourse too raw. The tea party too loud.

Americans were in a foul mood, and Democrats got the blame.

sounds like rope a dope to me. He got all he wanted out of lame duck session, except DREAM and he is now meeting with all the Hispanic leaders discussing how racist etc the GOP is to block them from their just deserts.

yeah, but he still passed Obama care, don’t ask don’t tell repeal, and many other death to America bills. He is killing us.

I agree with the article title's beginning:

'Obama's Terrible, Horrible, No Good'...

He bamboozled millions... gave us the old 'okee doke.'

A lot of judicial appointments, the DREAM Act in its original form, cap-and-trade legislation, and a few other things. He should have been able to do it. He didn't.

Was it really a failure though? Month by month, Obama did exceptionally grave damage to our country and then piled more destruction on top of that. Sure his allies lost at the polls, but the chief socialist is still in power and still doing steady harm to America.
