Did We Elect a New President or Not?

and Obama wouldnt stand up for them.

Isn't it more that he couldn't, not wouldn't?
When he was trying to make changes - the Republicans tore him apart and blocked (I'm not sure if it's literally true) everything he proposed and tried to pass.

Now instead of being a savoir for Democrats, he's just another Republican pawn who's sleeping in a giant house until they can try get another upper-class white guy in there.

Wouldn't.

Obama's strategy of coming out of the gate giving republicans a consession on bills and action plans before the Republicans even fight for it is epic fail. It just causes them to run him over more and fight for more and more consessions.

He needs to present ideas that are purely liberal, and have republicans fight to make any change, then he can blame the consessions on them.

But the thing is, Republicans aren't conservitave anymore, and Democrats aren't liberal. They're both corperatists. The only changes that make it help the top 5% of people in this country get richer. Now everything is falling apart because of this.
