Politics are nothing more than ideas for how to solve our societies problems. Everyone has their own political opinion. Each of these is different and it is impossible for everyone to be happy with something that the government does. Every time Obama does something people don't like, they will complain. The current problem with American politics is a lack of compromise. When the Constitution was written, there was compromise between the North and South and the large and small states. Now, it's becoming an issue of people voting things down because of a few things they don't like. It has become such a struggle to put one party in power over another that the politicians don't realize that they need to compromise to make more people happy. But that's just my uneducated view of the situation...
