Because every president before Obama really had a whole lot of entrenched opposition and adversity to overcome. Why, Bush was battling that wildly liberal Texas legislature when he was governor! Damned hippies! :D

And every damn President learns on the fly unless they’re a two termer. There’s no training-wheels Presidency.

You’re not usually prone to ODS, but this is sorta heading down that road.

Bush succeeded passing legislation with bipartisan support his first year. Obama? Not so much. Now I blame Pelosi mostly for that failing, but Obama deserves some of the blame for not reigning her extremism in.
