Go over to Digg with drivel like this. You obviously dislike his policies but even when I disliked President Bush I still was respectful. Hacker News is a place for intelligent discussion and part of that is civilized discourse.
Your second sentence shows the depths of your ignorance of American politics. "this lame duck president" just passed a bill that liberals have been trying to pass for 30 years. Not exactly "in office but not in power". If you want to see what that looks like, see 2006-2008 of the Bush administration and their inability to pass ANYTHING.
"Someone will do something at some point" is just more typical dithering from this lame-duck president. In office but not in power, we say in England.
