He did. Just not as perfect as us Americans who want everything now hoped for.

The congress was also taken over during 2010 by republicans who stopped any chance of obama pushing his agenda. Also lets not forget before that republicans in the senate filabustered many piece's of legislation. Remember Mitch McConnell's # 1 goal is to make obama a one term president. This means they are doing everything in there power to make him fail, even junk the economy and stop the economy growth. If all the government jobs that republicans let go where still working, we would be below 7% unemployment. .

Republicans are non-stop with there attempt to confuse people into blaming the president when people should understand congress holds the power. Sorry to say but republicans will most likely keep control of the house and we will get another republican house that does nothing. The reason for this is that republicans drew up the congressional districts to there favor. However if they didn't do that, we would see a democratic  controlled house and senate. Dems will keep senate.

Mitch McConnell basically saying, f-ck the recovery, lets obstruct. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-A09a_gHJc

My Prediction.

Obama wins

Democrats win majority seats in senate

Republicans keep control of house but still lose some seats to dems.

I've always thought that McConnell sound bite was one of the more disturbing things I've heard from a politician. Yes, it was two years into Obama's term, and yes it was in the context of other Republican initiatives that would surely be vetoed by President Obama, but to say that the single most important thing the Republican party wanted to achieve was to make Obama a one-term president was (and still is) really troubling. It just comes off as vindictive and out of touch with the average citizen.

And I agree with your predictions. I'd wager Obama wins the electoral college 303-235, and the popular vote by 1-1.5 percentage points. And Democrats will end up with 52 seats in the Senate.

Actually, come to think of it, someone should make an electoral college prediction thread. Or maybe it already exists?
