It's a two way street and right now and three years back Obama and the Democrats are just as guilty of dead locking Congress as the Republicans.
Progress....at least now you are admitting that the Republicans too are guilty of deadlocking congress. Before it was all Obama's fault. So if you want Obama out of office, you should want all those obstructionist Republicans out too.
Hardly, the failure lies with those who are so stupid that they can't or won't acknowledge the economic disaster that the current administration has lead the Nation in to. Keep on thinking that hope and change will get you to a better tomorrow.
I'm all for change, what we have now can't be worse than almost anything else!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

There you go again.......our economy does not rest solely on the presidents shoulders, I believe the congress has more power to effect the economy than the president does, and they have over the last two years.....they have led us to the brink of disaster more than once...and they have refused to compromise on revenue increases even though most economists recommend a balanced approach to fixing the economy that includes revenue increases along with cutting spending. they have spent more time on bills that are aimed at punishing the president, and bills that they know will never pass, and bills that have nothing to do with jobs, the economy, balancing the budget, or reducing our deficit. the "my way or the highway" approach to compromise has never worked.

You are such a hypocrite. You personally attack any republican, yet you completely ignore 2 of the most corrupt and mindless in congress...Pelosi and Reid.
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!
