Hardly anyone who is elected to the Presidency turns out to be who everyone thought they were going to be. Hillary probably would have been better as she would have fought and negotiated with the R’s. Obama is an intellectual who doesn’t want to get in the pig sty with the pigs so he didn’t get as much done as he might have if he had been the type of personality that could deal with the opposition – like Lyndon Johnson. But we never get perfection in our presidents and expecting to is kind of childish. I was frustrated with Obama but he also did many good things.
Pretty much everyone agrees that the ACA needs work. It was the best the D’s could do with the R’s still dominating the House. The better way to go would have been Medicare for all but that wasn’t going to happen. Republicans would rather enrich the rich. They always have, always will.
