Well, Yes We Can would have been easier, and Obama had good intentions in that direction. But with a congress with the lowest production level in history, he’s going to have to pull whatever weight gets pulled by himself, and drag congress along with him.Actually, Obama won’t be able to do much without some input from congress, which is going to make the American people more and more frustrated and more and more likely to elect a Democratic government in 2016. That congress will be able to achieve many of the things on Obama’s agenda, so he’s going to win one way or another.
Every time I see the approval rating of Congress at 20%, 15%, I wonder, “who the heck are these clueless people who approve of this incompetent, do-nothing Congress?” Now I know; Walt Handelsman.
I don’t think the cartoon is being critical; just putting the situation the POTUS is in via illustration. The look on Obama’s face is not one of smugness it’s more of resignation.
It’s about time! It’s very sad that President Obama has to go this. I’m sorry to say this but he’s the Jackie Robinson of the presidency. He’s being treated this way just because he’s black! In case you’re wondering, I AM A WHITE, JEWISH, DEMOCRAT MAN! So, there!

Can you blame him? When your Congress won’t do anything, you take action. About damn time!
