Ability Quote by John Podhoretz
“Obama lost his ability to push his agenda through Congress when he received what he himself called a 'shellacking' in the November 2010 elections. That shellacking was primarily the result of massive policy overreach when he had a Democratic Congress in his pocket.”
![“[Barack] Obama was reaching a point [with Syria bombing] where he might not have been able to carry it off.He was losing support internally, and was compelled to send the vote to Congress, and it looked as if he was going to be defeated, which would have been a very serious blow to his presidency…” quote by Noam Chomsky](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f65/noam-chomsky-42_able_barack-obama-was-reaching-a-point-with-s_1066059.jpg)
