What should the President do?

Should he write an executive order on immigration? People on both sides of the aisle want a bill passed, but will not condescend to give Obama credit for it. All these poor folks living in limbo. Cartman has a name for politicians like these who care about nothing except their own lust for power over the needs of the people.

Should he allow the XL pipeline to go through for Mary Landrieu so she could keep her seat in the run-off? What if she loses anyway? He seems so alone.

I wish our party was more supportive on some issues.

Oh, and the agreement with China. They are kicking his butt on this one too....

I am so sad.

The other day she went in to their living room and found a lamp on the floor broken in pieces. When she confronted her son and asked him 'who did this' his answer was President Obama.

The point being - Obama is being blamed for everything. It seems like no one wants to see him being successful or give him credit for anything good that he does.

I feel for the man. With cooperation with Congress he has the potential to be one of our greatest Presidents. Unfortunately - partisan politics being what it is - he's having to deal with the situation as best he could.

IMHO - he's doing a fine job in spite of all the negativity that surrounds him. I think he realizes the situation he's in and he's learned to deal with it and still do the best he can for this country.
