It's pretty ridiculous that with both houses and a new presidency, he couldn't get it done and now he blames anyone other than himself for his failure.
Hell, it took until Nov 23, 2008 less than 3 weeks after his election when Obama backtracked on repealing the tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans.
I guess it's not really a matter of not being able to get it done as much as it is Obama not even trying.

How about "Stop Rewarding Corporations for shipping jobs overseas". He did nothing there either.
