It's a reality the president has to deal with.
And Bush got what he wanted because everything he wanted to do preserved the status quo and rewarded the rich, the powerful, the lobbyists, the corporations, the defense contractors, etc.
President Obama is trying to fight the system and bring about change for the little guy.
No, he's not a king and cannot rule by fiat.
He's a president and he's doing a damn good job with the difficult, conservative, brought-and-paid-for Congress he has do deal with.
Put on your big boy or girl panties and realize that!
