Originally posted in late 2014: Obama pushed more change through the political system than any serious observer expected: he passed health-care reform, as well as the largest stimulus and investment package in American history, and the Dodd-Frank financial reforms (which are working better than most realize). He brought the Iraq war to a close, and he actually did find and kill Osama bin Laden. Theres much left on his to-do list, but even in places where hes failed to pass his legislative remedies into law — like immigration reform and climate change — hes used or is using executive actions to make huge strides. But he didnt do all this by fixing American politics. He did all this by breaking American politics even further. Obama hasnt healed the divisions between Democrats and Republicans. Rather, hes one of the most polarizing presidents since the advent of polling
