You ignored my question.. without supporting you comment..

1.salvaging the economy

2. separated politics from science and judiciary,

3. forged new collaborative relationships internationally

4. took out the pirates who captured one of our own,

5. redeployed forces in Afghanistan and Iraq to better serve the objective of fighting terrorism (remember? that's why we started these wars),

6. has used his background to appeal to the moderates in the Middle East to rise up and reclaim their nations and their cultures (just look at Iran...)

Obama has in FACT done these things. Where has he not?

salvaging the economy
Oh, good lord. You are in deep. Salvaged the economy? He has made it exponentially worse. He is ringing up huge deficits and debt. The umemployment rate is loads worse than his estimates.

Quote:
forged new collaborative relationships internationally
Where? Which ones? Point them out.

Quote:

In one of this speeches? Point it out.

Another true leader who didn't remain silent;

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Reagan didn’t remain silent on Poland

Quote:
We view the current situation in Poland in the gravest of terms, particularly the increasing use of force against an unarmed population and violations of the basic civil rights of the Polish people.

Violence invites violence and threatens to plunge Poland into chaos. We call upon all free people to join in urging the Government of Poland to reestablish conditions that will make constructive negotiations and compromise possible.
Contrast and compare the speech of obama and Reagan.

All he has done was to give a couple speeches - but that is enough for the simpleminded.

Cool Iraq Moves Ahead With Vote on U.S. Security Pact

lol...you're sure?

An Iraqi national referendum on last year’s security pact with the US is currently scheduled to take place on July 30. According to Iraqi law, if voters reject the pact, which calls for the US to remove all troops by December 31, 2011, Washington would have to remove its military 17 months sooner—by July 30 of 2010. Should the vote be held as scheduled, it is a virtual certainty that the Iraqi masses will repudiate the pact.



Washington, of course, has no intention of obeying any popular referendum. Yet it wishes to avoid the political embarrassment of a broad repudiation of its occupation of the oil-rich country. “American diplomats are quietly lobbying the government not to hold the referendum,” the New York Times notes.

Quote:
Under the security plan agreed to by the two governments last year, American combat troops must withdraw from the cities by the end of this month and all American troops must be out of Iraq by Dec. 31, 2011.
Passage of the agreement was contingent on the approval of several other measures, including legislation requiring a referendum on the agreement. If the Iraqi people vote down the security pact, the American military would have to withdraw all troops within a year from the date of the vote, which could be held as soon as this summer.
