Controversies add to Obama's 2nd term frustrations

WASHINGTON (AP) ? For President Barack Obama, the opening months of his second term have been a frustrating reminder of the limits of presidential power and the durability of the Washington political apparatus he disdains.

Obama has yet to achieve a significant second term legislative victory, a task that will only get harder as the calendar inches closer to next year's midterm elections. A trio of controversies roiling Washington have emboldened Republicans eager to gain an advantage over the president ? and revealed a Democratic establishment willing to publicly second-guess the White House.

And Obama, who ran for office pledging to overcome Washington's bitter partisan divide, has been forced to acknowledge he's made little progress on that front.
