No he is not. At best he has unfortunately had to do what Bill Had to do, throw the screaming child in the candy isle a candy bar to get them to shut the fuck up. But again, being a hostage forced to play their game is not the same as being the hostage taker.
Obama nor Bill were in office when Reagan and the GOP started deregulation and union busting. Nor did either of them constitute the entire congress that entire time. No president operates alone like a dictator.
Both Bill Clinton and Obama were put in office by VOTERS, and as voters we are on the right side of history, where we suck is pushing back, especially in midterms to force, not only a president, but our congress to pull back to the left. Problems are not magically solved by one person. And this is why I don't like the infighting between supporters of Hillary or Bernie. Neither are going to be a sudden magic pill. It will still take us even after the election to push even more on both the president and congress. But Obama and Hillary and Bernie are still a step in the right direction despite what they've had to deal with from the right.
