Where is my 'hate' of Obama?  I state facts and legal interpretations and you see 'hate'.  Those are your glasses; not mine.

I think Obama is, much like Carter, a pretty nice guy who wasn't able to succeed as President.  Other Presidents, of both political parties (Bill Clinton?)  somehow managed to overcome or at least work with recalcitrant Senates and Houses of Representatives to accomplish at least some of their goals.  Obama couldn't.  

After he shoved Obamacare up the collective Republican's nether regions, Democratic U.S. Senate seats fell from 55 to 46. Their share of the House plummeted from 256 seats to 194;  he was a six-year lame duck.    

Maybe it can't all be blamed on him.  

During the same time, the grand total was a net loss of 1,042 state and federal Democratic posts, including congressional and state legislative seats, governorships and the presidency. 

Democratic Governors  became a rarity during this eight-year period also, slipping from 28 to 16.

Hard times!
