Look at the bright side -- you will be able to rag 4 more years about Obama ...

Under the circumstances, mainly the baggage Obama inherited from his predecessor, he's done more good than harm.

Both Democrat and Republican administrations ran up the US national debt and debt spending is dependent on the political and economic circumstance. Had Obama done nothing the result may have been the same as Hoover's results of doing nothing -- the Great Depression culminating in the Second World War. The deaths in that war are estimated at 60 million -- that is the result of isolationism and doing nothing.

Congress has a 9% approval rating it should be apparent that they have failed -- how they failed is debatable but the fact is they are a dismal failure. They can offer nothing to the conversation except to say no.

Place blame where it belongs -- we are a republic and the process is badly broken.
