Success and failure are in the eye of the beholder, so if damaging freedom and prosperity was the goal, president Obama and Democrat “Progressives” are extremely successful. If the well being of the people was the objective, they have indeed been an abysmal failure! Yesterday (11/2) the people pushed back a bit. In this push back we saw the slaughter of the "Blue Dogs". They were but lambs/pawns sacrificed on Obama and Nancy's altar of "change"... done in for the most part, by the actions of their own party's leadership and in their own outright disdain of their constituents wishes!
