His mistake was not stopping the GOP into oblivion in 2009 back when they had a 30% approval rating and he had a 65% approval rating. Instead he "reached across the aisle", let them water down or obstruct everything despite being a rump minority, and gave them all the help they needed to have a resurgence.

Obama's hardly gone wrong anywhere.  The impending retaking of Congressional control by the awful party can be summed up in three words.

Democrats.  Are.  Pussies.

That's it.  They don't defend anything they do.  They don't brag about anything they do.  They run from their accomplishments at the hint of a GOP ad campaign.  They stand up to nothing and nobody from the right. 

This same rinse-and-repeat cycle of Republicans coming into power and putting the country on the path to ruin, a reactionary swing to the Democrats, and a subsequent forgive-and-forget en masse for the GOP will continue forever until liberals stand up for their accomplishments and their ideals. 

I'm afraid it is not all that more complicated than that. 

Obama doesn't count in the "Democrats are pussies" critique? Like I said earlier, he could've marginalized the GOP back in 2009, and instead chose to give them a hand and help them regain power.
