Mark Wilson—Getty Images by [Zeke Miller](https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/) ## Zeke Miller Jun 19, 2015 11:34 AM UTC Liberals are fuming after the House advanced President Obama’s trade bill Thursday, setting up another fight in the Senate. But the ordeal is the latest to demonstrate the limits of Obama’s powers on a range of priorities. At a fundraiser in California Thursday evening, Obama tried to pass the buck on failing to change Washington, telling donors he only promised that such change was possible, not that he was going to fix it. After a massacre in Charleston, 2016 presidential candidates have markedly different policy responses. Sen. Marco Rubio can’t draw a donor crowd in Sarasota. And the Federal Election Commission can’t agree on anything.
