Second, Id didn't say the Dems has a super-majority for the first two years. However, I did say the Repubs didn't have the votes to stop legislation. They did have the filibuster, but in spite of that, Obama in his first term and the Dems still got (and this is not a complete list):

So, sorry that those pesky Repubs made the job of running up the deficit a bit harder, but I think there was still an abundance of legislation signed in the first two years - and beyond. To say that the Prez has not been able to enact a significant portion of his agenda is absurd.
