@AlexKidd5000: Lol wow. "Extremely Tough"? FDR had a Democrat controlled House and Senate. Thats how he got things done. Not to mention that was over 70 years ago..... The world is a tad different now.
Yeah, back then politicians actually worked together.
Also, entirely different country. Entirely different world. Population of the US was ~125 million when FDR took office. Coming out of the Great Depression and one war, and going into another. WWII to help weaken the rest of the world while strengthening the US as a world power (something it was not).
FDR is a demigod relative to the rest of the presidents of the US, but he had a pretty damn good setup when he took office and throughout his terms.

The repub ostructionism is a non-issue, Obama never even tried to deal with them. He just used them as an excuse to keep everything the same.
LOL. Maybe one needed to follow the day-to-day operations and maneuvering of the executive and legislative branches to see it, but this is nonsense.
Yeah. I get not liking Obama for various things, but that was a BS statement: I don't think there's been a president in history that had to deal with such barriers, not from within his own damn government, at least.
Some of those folks in congress should be tried for treason.
As for Obama, what he has accomplished is pretty amazing, not just on its own, but especially because of the resistance he received.
