No excuses. He's President. Remember, the other side could have said (and did say) the same thing about Mitch McConnell and the Republican strategy of "no" in 2009.

This "deep state" thing can't go both ways. Either there's a permanent governing class or there isn't. Obama didn't pass the Patriot Act. He didn't create the NSA or FBI or CIA or Pentagon. They all existed before him and continue after him. Clearly, Obama lacked the power to close Gitmo. He could not or did not stop the drone program. The data mining centers were built. Did he really want these things or did he have no say?
