He has done a lot, alright. So far he has spent more money than all previous presidents put together, and moves us closer to socialism every day..
We can only hope the country can survive until we can boot him out of office..!
A B...? You must not pay attention to what s going on in the country.. The man is a total failure. He is making Jimmy Carter look good, and that's hard to do....!
BO wants to be King......

You are guilty of the very thing you are complaining about.
I disagree there, it was mostly republicans who fought Bush on that disastrous immigration bill that he and the democrats tried ramming down our throats, along with John McCain.

Is it partisanship? Yes, blind partisanship and stupidity. Two qualities that permeate our population and do not know any boundaries. The same question must be asked "Why do people still defend Bush?" and the answer is the same two things: blind partisanship and stupidity.

If you refuse to see that these divisions are artificial and exactly duplicated on both sides of the aisle then you are doomed to continue them. Get out of this mental spin cycle and offer up a solution. Show America what you've got. Third party anyone? Constitutional Convention anyone? Ten million people peacefully sitting down on the streets of DC refusing to let the military goad them into violence? C'mon. We can do so much better than these repetitive arguments.
YES, YES and YES!!!!

HUH, you like him thrashing the economy, spending $$ we do not have, bowing to the king of saudi oil, apologizing for other people that do not need nor want someone to apologize for them, scaring the living **** out of the people of NYC? The list goes on and on and on................

Obama is trying hard to fix the economic disaster and foreign policy messes that Bush left behind...

That is why we support him... most Americans do... you are in the minority...

Yes, Obama's approval rating is 54%, which is very low this early on.

He's been tracking almost exactly the same as Bush. Both track about 20% below Carter at the same point in their Administrations. It's possible it doesn't mean a whole lot.

I'm not that liberal in some ways and I'm not in love with Obama. I voted for one of his opponents in the primary. But I have no idea what you are talking about, "after all this man has done to the US"...after what, specifically?

You mean like going to Europe and South America and telling them how arrogant and selfish the American people are...you consider that helping America?
