You know the knock against Obama from the Right is that under his administration things have become infinitely more partisan.
However the truth is that the President bent over backwards to include the Republicans on every major policy that he attempted to implement during his first term and was blocked, manipulated, and hung out to dry over and over again.
The partisanship is not the fault of the President but rather the conservatives who decided even before he took the oath of office, to block everything he tried to do during his presidency.
And what we are seeing today is the President simply circumventing the Republicans and doing everything pretty much on his own.
And do you know what? It is STILL benefiting even those people who continue to argue that he was not born in this country, is a closet Socialist, and of course a secret Muslim.
And that is because he is actually a great President. Whether his critics want that to be true or not.
