Raise your hand if you believe the Republicans will do anything to stop Obama. I don’t see many hands up.

I don't think the republicans played this well. I think they should have down-played it before he spoke - 'Not much he can do', 'Can't rewrite laws', 'Obama himself said he has done all he can'.

When we look back on the Obama presidency, all we see is a sore loser. He won big in 08, lost in 10, and they passed Obamacare. Republicans (and Americans) are still challenging it. And it may not survive.

He won again in 12, and lost big in 14. Now he does one other thing - immigration exec orders.

2 wins, 2 losses, 2 sore-loser big moves. Neither will stand the test of time, and he will just continue to get smaller and smaller over the next 2 years. I think he will rage more, and continue to do more exec orders. Each will be more stupid than the last, and his desperation for a legacy will undo him.

Just my 2 cents...

Right, he will do more executive orders and they will be permanently damaging. Each will be designed to further overload the system and push it toward ultimate collapse, immigration, climate change, helping Iran get the bomb, more wars, more deficit spending including just giving billions to various countries around the world, and on and on. Unless Congress stops him, what will be left and how much of it will ever be repaired or reversed?

In the final analysis I doubt Obama will have done his party much good and I love how you said "... his desperation for a legacy will undo him." I totally agree!
