Another off the shelf response. The GOP has given Obama nearly free reign. The first two years the didn't have the votes to stop the Dems on anything. Later, the GOP dumped the Speaker of the House because he was perceived as too cozy with Obama, got a new Speaker, and that one has been busy staying out of the Dems way as well.

Sorry, but Obama has gotten most of his agenda pushed through, including a $1 Trillion stimulus which was supposed to get the economy going again (remember the summer of growth that never happened?). And his biggest obstacle in his first term was likely with the left flank of his own party, particularly on healthcare reform.
