You want to hold a Democratic president's "feet to the fire?" (God, I hate that phrase)
Give her a solid Democratic congress. I mean solid, not just a few over. Then hold your Senator's and Representative's feet to the fire as well. Call, write,march if necessary.
And damn well vote for democrats in the mid-terms instead of staying home and whining that the president didn't do everything you wanted right away despite opposition.
Oh, and how about promoting Progressive and even 3rd party candidates for Mayor, City councils and state legislatures, instead of just jamming up the works every 4 years with poor 3rd party candidates who think they are entitled to votes even though they have no qualifications (hello, Dr Stein!)?
I'm not talking about you, specifically, JRLeft. I'm just so tired of some on the left who seem to be completely clueless about how government really works.
