@blatham,
You are trying very hard to find fault wherever you can. However it appears to me that you fail rather competely to see or detect anything that doesn't fit your preconceptions. That's a fairly advanced form of intellectual blindness.
Our defense department has now been given (for the first time) the mandate to defeat and destroy ISIS, and we can at least hoipe that the resolution of the even more complex associated political questions will soom begin. That's a big change from the remote detachment and episodic drone assasinations of the previous administraqtion.
The Congress is now engaged in the messy process of drafting replacement legislation for Obamacare and the messy details of disdagreement, dialogue and compromise over the details - things that weren' t done eight years ago when Obamacare was enacted (and have been largely absent for the past eight years) , and that are at the very essence of democratic process.
Action on tax reform and infrastructure programs will soon follow, while ill-conceived administrative rules are cancelled and an overinflated, complacent Federal bureaucracy is about to begin.
Looks like effective swamp-draining to me.
