I'm sure all that and many other things present enormous obstacles which slows him down. To expect a new president to magically overcome all that is a bit much.

He had the chance near the beginning to push through some of the policies that he talked about in his campaign but he blew the chance by trying to appeal to both sides of the parties.
I wasn't expecting him to be a miracle but he talked a good game and when he could have backed it up, he decided to be a politician and appeal to both sides to help him in the future for his re-election.
I didn't vote for him because I knew he was just like every other politician but he just didn't appear to have the experience or to tact to be as ruthless as he should be.
The only thing he has going for him is his charisma, he's a pretty good guy and intelligent but he's a bit of a pushover. I like him as a person but talk about being soft.

you should be banned from using sarcasm. talk about overusing it to the point where it's ineffective lol
Wouldn't be that something. Hearing him be eloquent would just.. I wouldn't know what to do.
