Indeed.  And whether true or not, constant repetition of the  mantra that it was all Bush's fault for eight years did not result in favorable results for Obama or the Republicans in Congress.

Hence my argument is that Trump would be foolish to follow his example.  

To get change, you have to actually Do Something; not just "Hope" for "Change".  Obama couldn't lower himself to negotiate with the Congress even if they had been willing to do so.

He preferred the intellectual Olympian Heights of his own perfection and knowledge.

Trump is "Doing Something".   

First off, killing everything Obama did with his famous "stroke of a pen".

Trump's base is still hanging in there at 96% according to ABC/Pew polls.   The crowing by his opponents about his 'failures' in his first 100 days hasn't hurt him yet.

Trump will be unable to satisfy everyone; no candidate ever has or ever will.  But, so far, "Doing Something" even when opposed by his own party seems to be working.
