He did? Personally? What rifle did he shoot? I thought ears was afraid of noisy guns.
He is their commander and chief, didn't you know that. He also authorized the mission and gave the ok to shoot to kill. dmit it if a Repub had been in office you would give them credit for getting the job done where as Dubya but it the back burner. The increased focus on the real war on terror lead to this outcome, another fact. So keep on with the Partisan thinking it becomes you.

Mistakes: the stupid ccard mess, so they can't raise interest on what is owed, but what they did do: raise interest so high because he gave them so much time, that many are not able to pay back anything: only the interest each month. Think about the young kids just getting started and just out of school: what a brillant move he made.
Promised to do things he could not do: promising something unless you know you can deliver is a huge mistake.
Trying to take credit for ending Bin Ladens life: he should take part credit but certainly not all of it.
Failures
Obamacare
not getting unemployment under control
not being able, even with the huge tax incentives, to end the slide of the housing market.
Should we name other things or let it go with that?

1. Encouraging snitching flag @ whitehouse . gov
2. Promising to close Gitmo before he assessed the situation then had to backtrack.
3. Having no leadership/managerial experience and then making a bunch of academics, also with no real world experience, his top advisors and you wonder why the economy is still in the toilet.
4. Cronyism- Sucking up to the Unions and badmouthing the Chamber of Commerce
5. Having a tax cheat run the Treasury Department which is the department that the IRS is under.
6. Naming a series of people with tax problems for advisors sending the message the tax laws are just for us regular people not for the political elite. Their tax problems aren't his fault but he could have vetted them better. Oh, and then there was the self avowed Communist who was exposed and his dubious friends (Chairman Mao, mass murderer, is my hero) in White House jobs.
7. Signing Spendapalooza also called The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act when it was full of pork.
8. Putting Obamacare and trying to put Cap and Trade ahead of the economy/jobs when clearly Obamacare and cap and Trade were not the primary concern of Americans
9. Cash for Clunkers with its 135 pages of rules for dealers - 41 percent of cars sold were from Japanese makers.
10. Bailouts for fat cats - Tough nouggies to small business owners.
11. Sending the Winston Churchill bust back to England, giving DVDs to Gordon Brown, giving the Queen an IPod with his speeches, bowing everywhere he went, dissing Israel, an ally, the Olympic fiasco, telling France they were our "best friend" much to the chagrin of Great Britain
12. Civilian trials for terrorists so they can lawyer up and clam up. Attempted to try terrorists in NYC with his Attorney General saying on the one hand we need to show the Middle East how fair the American Justice System is while in the next breath saying even if they are found not guilty we're not releasing them.
13. Promising money to Petrobras (Brazil) to do the same kind of deep sea drilling he disdained being done off the Gulf Coast making it look like he was deliberately trying to impale the US economy.
14. Never studied the economic impact the drilling moratorium would have in the Gulf or the impact on oil production (his Undersecretary of Commerce testified). Tried to pass off the moratorium as a recommendation by experts in a report but the experts made no such recommendation. His administration inserted it after the experts had submitted their report. For months his administration failed to issue drilling permits in the Gulf until it was exposed and there was a public outcry.
15. Saying the border was secure when anyone with half a brain could see from video that it clearly wasn't.
16. Closed door meetings while spouting transparency claims.
17. The reason he had to have the beer in the garden photo op was because he inserted himself in something that was none of his business.
18. The massive expansion of the federal government under his administration.
19. Creates a debt commission (Bowles/Simpson) then ignores their recommendations.
20. With Democrat control of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives failed to pass a budget in 2010.
Okay, I'm getting tired...next.
May these points of his record be remembered always. They stand as historical evidence and say the world about him.

I have my own personal favorite. Don't see how I could have forgotten it in my list above since I'm ticked off at one of my state senators on the same issue.
21. Obama, in an interview that under his plans for Cap and Trade, electricity costs would necessarily skyrocket, then goes on to push electric cars on us.

Not her duty, to have solutions or even ideas. Mr Obama needs to enlighten us with his glory and his smile, and a damn solution to our downhill spiraling out or control economy, not her. Why don't you ask Obama to have solutions, because of him, we are in the mess we are now in, stop making excuses for the Man!
Allowing iran to continue to develop nuclear weapons, and syria to slaughter its population.
Other than that, his foreign policy has utterly sucked.
