Well, don't you know that the President can DO no right? Party affiliation doesn't matter. All they can hope to do is avoid doing wrong. Even though he hasn't pulled our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, I haven't heard of him initiating conflicts in any other region of the world--yet.

Republicans/Conservatives/Neocons/Klan/Clueless are incapable of recognizing, acknowledging, or appreciating the obvious. You didn't recognize that Bush was the village idiot and had absolutely no business in the White House and you certainly are incapable of recognizing Obama's brilliance or the effects thereof.

Attempting to explain them to you would be as useless as a blind man turning around to look.

I like the Obama administrations view on foreign policy. They are trying to build allies and make friends. For someone who travels as much as I do, its important to have allies around the world. The Bush administration didnt seem to care who they pissed off and they alienated alot of allies. Obama seems to be trying to repair that.

You don't contribute anything useful or worth discusion. I'm sure alot of people are grateful to NOT be you based on your posts. I personally can see you in my minds eye banging your head steadily against the same wall full of angst that Obama is in the whitehouse instead of your precious McCain or wishing we could turn back the time to the glory days of the Bush era that almost ruined this entire country.

So he has not accomplished anything himself. These are "policies" that were already in place and he has just not changed them.

Why not try a list of what he HAS DONE, not a list of what he HAS NOT DONE? So Obama should be praised for not bulldozing New York City and not flooding the Mississippi River Basin? Those are certainly things he has not done, and I am thankful for that. The list of things not performed, can be infinite and the source of never ending praise.

Do you understand that many conservatives did not like McCain or Bush and comparing Obama to them says absolutely nothing. We are not interested in whether he is better than Hitler, Roosevelt, Reagan, or Taft. We are interested in the here and now and what he is doing. Constantly comparting Obama to Bush is tiresome and is simply a means of deflecting attention from the actions of the current administration. I don't care about the Kennedy administration anymore- that was the past. Only the current administration is in power and should be responsible for thier actions and producing results. Let's see them.

He slowed the rate of unemployment and had one of the best economical Julys in decades, many experts are saying the recession is over or ending and Obama is directly responsible. And get this, he hasn't even made it through a quarter of his first term! I don't know any president that has done that much good in that small amount of time.

He has sucessfully divided this nation into "have" and "have not" and pitted each group against the other. He has also sucessfully removed the "bi" from bipartisian.

I have noticed though that when bad numbers come out GWB gets blamed.
So if he's now taking credit does that mean he'll step up to the plate and take the blame if bad numbers come out in the future ?
