Yet when Republicans have one they get everything they want passed.

The posed question was what would history remember about his presidency.

It was not 'why is this the case / how did that happen'.

You're rationalizing.

You're not 'wrong', but you're rationalizing.

Yep, he/they did not have absolute power.

But that was the peak of their power - look what they did and did not do with it.

They sold out the country, continued the selling out of the country... and effectively presided over the main event that literally formalized selling out the country.

Hopefully I don't need to explain that the President typically has a very large impact on the policies and politics of their party.

Certainly not when one of their own wrote most of it

I was joking about how the question subtly says [at the end of the question] "as president"?

Ultimately you'll have to accept that people are people. If you'd randomly pick a person and put them in the oval office with the US army under their command they'd fuck some shit up. Particularly with all the outside pressure from different interest groups.

I'm not telling you to be grateful for Obama. Hate him, criticize him. Just be aware that he was probably in the top percentile of world leaders. You go ahead and roll your dice. Surely Shitface McAssclown will be a better leader.

Not sure here but among the other things I remember he campaigned with the promise to close guantanamo bay, thing that he didn't?

It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of 'em was one kinda sombitch or another.

I got you fam
