Sounds like you really did some research. OK. Points taken I'll still feel that he accomplished quit a bit don't you?
yes i will admit that obama has accomplished quit a bit in his 18 months in office;
increasing the size of government by 25%
getting a health care reform law though congress that will only increase everyone premiums, and has already increased costs and regulations
getting a financial reform law through congress that will only allow the government to take over any business they deem too big to fail, and does nothing to rein in fanni mae and freddy mac
adding new taxes on everything medical starting jan 2011
alienating our allies around the world, especially britain
tripled the deficit
added $3 trillion to the national debt
made claims he knew would never happen(we have to pass this stimulus package so that unemployment will not go over 8%-remember that?)
managed to polarize the country even more than it already was.

So HC was doing great. Why were all those candidates talking about it all those years then. The repubs were not going to fix it.

What was the GOP plan for reform?

Not true.
tripled the deficit
added $3 trillion to the national debt
Trying to stop a depression which bush created.
made claims he knew would never happen(we have to pass this stimulus package so that unemployment will not go over 8%-remember that?)

Only the right hates everybody else. It was already polarized by rush and the boys.
left a trail of broken promises
Indie here...when she smiled when talking about Obama / twitter..I threw up in my mouth. Her opening remarks about Ronald Reagan are without any facts to back them up...and her remark about BO doing more than anyone since FDR to transform this Country..to a majority of Americans..is not something to brag about. FDR's raw deal did nothing but prolong the depression and was nothing but govt nanny giveaways..but BO is FDR on steroids...not exactly something that anyone should be bragging about..unless of course you want to tick them off...So I think Maddow should either grow some hair or a pair of B__lls and keep preaching to all of her 157 viewers..
I know you wont watch. You can lie but the truth is out there. Independents please comment.
Just so you know, before I comment, I did watch it.
Firstly Maddow is to the left what Beck is to the right, except she, unlike Beck, doesn't agree with anything conservative even when it's right.
She cherry picked what Reagan did and spun it in a way that made it look like Obama and then >>blam<<, Reagan. This is great for show, but what she failed to include is that Reagan didn't have a choice with regards to many of those issues.
When a Presidents hands are tied by the opposing party who controls the house you can't blame that President for all of the decisions because he's forced to make concessions in order to pass other more pressing matters. Unlike Obama who has ultra control of all parts of this government and CAN be blamed for our woes, Regan didn't have that luxury. Let's also not forget that he came into a sh$%load of a mess left by Carter.
The DEMs controlled his and Bush Srs' house. Obama has had nearly 2 years in full control and it's only getting worse.
Be Honest and stop kidding yourself.
This is rediuculous to keep spinning left/right hot air. It's useless and pointless. Divided we fall! See things for what they are and stop making it a political thing. The people in control are boning all of us (left and right, black, brown and white, middle class and poor) in the most royal of ways. If this were a Republican President you'd be calling for him to be impeached and if it were a Republican House you'd be screaming for resignations by now. But it's not, so wake up and see a bad president simply for being bad and a horrible house for being horrible. It's that obvious and that simple.
I'm sorry. I tried...I can't get past her sarcastic, smarmy, side-of-the-mouth speech.
(Ooooh, alliteration!)
Can't come up with any ideas of your own about issues you don't understand...so you fall back on your pundits? Wow...sounds like those Limbaugh and Beck fans...
It takes a special kind of person to get past her sarcastic, smarmy-ness.
Apparently i'm not a special person. Her style of commentating is simply more than I can take. I refuse to stoop that low.
Maddow and Olbermann consumption speaks volumes about the Left, in my opinion.
"Wont" is an obvious typo. Too bad some of the first responders to the OP aren't astute enough to grasp. This is precisely why I find it amusing when they whine that lefties call them names.
Maybe she is just another in a long line of TV news hosts who aren't journalists; however, I'd put her up against Beck and Limbaugh any day of the week.
Beck's education:
Graduated high school in 1982. In 1996, while working for a New Haven-area radio station, Beck briefly attended Yale University. Beck took one theology class, "Early Christology," and then dropped out.
Rushy's education:
Because of his parents' desire to see him attend college, he enrolled in Southeast Missouri State University but left the school after two semesters and one summer. According to his mother, "he flunked everything", and "he just didn't seem interested in anything except radio."

Just curious....does everything in Liberal Land have to be qualified for supremacy by comparing it to the right?
It seems you guys have an Permanent Identity Crisis.
you are correct, i could continue on all the things obama has done wrong, and all the problems he has caused this country, but to what end?

so in your little mind only people who have massive amounts of education are worth listening to? some of the most successful people in this country never went to college. some of the best engineers do not have college degrees. education without wisdom means nothing.
