10. A president can only deal with the cards in the deck

The haters it seems, actually would hate if President Obama got 100% of what his long term vision is.
Which is it appears, the single reason they keep applying the hate, to stop it, like they have stopped others from achieving their long term goals by keep dividing and going backwards every 4 to 8 years instead of one continuous push forward.

They also have NEVER ever formulated any plan forward for anything.
Just stopping the forward movement and going backward, then claiming the world is going backward as the parade passes them by.

As to the 100% line-it is like the serenity poem-
grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference

Following that and what is and is not possible, then one can believe 100% that everything that can be changed for the better can be possible.
And not sweat the parts that can't be.

(anyone would have had the Vietnam problems LBJ had
But only LBJ at that time and place had the courage to change what he did change, and he gave his all to change those things-the Voting and Civil Rights Acts and the other positive social accomplishments he got through).
