I keep reading that Obama is a hopeless loser who could not arrange a sock drawer, but he got my attention by slam dunking the Clintons, burying McCain, pushing through health care, and vanquishing the GOP several times. Oh, and then there is that tall terrorist guy everyone wanted to catch.
Now, I really do think he wants to strike a decent bargain, but the TP contingent keeps having tantrums, then getting spanked.
He seems like a fairly cool, steady customer to me, and the people talking him down are looking sillier by the day.
Huh?
Pushing through healthcare, that the American people said no to?
I though Seal Team 6 got that tall terrorist guy, with the years of foot work, started by Bush?
You forgot to add that he stopped the wars.....oh wait, he only promised to do that, but didn't...and...added...another..one....
And he closed Gitmo.....oh wait.
He didn't let unemployment get above 9%.......oh wait
Look, if this man can throw his own Grandmother who raised him, under the bus, he has no issues with throwing the American people under the bus either, and he has.
Obama himself said that he was "shelacked" by the GOP, so I don't get your point.

I don't have any faith in the other side, they are for the corporations, going overboard with religious fanatics and changing rules to suit their own purpose in alot of states. Listening this past week to them has been an embarrassment, with the slavery families, Murdoch, Bachmann and her place for gays to go to so they can pray that their being gay goes away.
Seems like they want us to go back in time or live the way they want us to, taking away our individual freedoms.
Wow! Frozenyo, you are a warrior, fighting off a pack of dittoheads with the jawbone of an ass. Or was it slaying jawboning dittoheads acting like asses, or.....anyhow, my old testament is a bit rusty, but that was positively biblical!
Point is, for such a completely worthless and incompetent person, he seems to be winning.
2010? Ok, sure, good one for the GOP, but Barry O was not really involved.
Here is my prediction, when he runs in 2012, he will win, and all the youth vote coming out to vote for him will toss a bunch of the 2010 yahoos out on their ears. All we had in 2010 was angry geriatrics.
He will win the right and tea party need to take a good look at the people they want in office.
Completely spot on. Great to know that such enlightened people like yourself exist in the great city of Portland, OR.
He has been an incredible Preisdent, no question. The GOP stunk up the place something fierce while they were in office, and continue to do so. Frankly, we must begin asking ourselves whether the GOP should be disbanded. Their regressive, ineffective ideology has no place in modern civilization.
My theory is that the more a Democrat compromises, the more a Republican gets stubborn. Republicans perceive compromise as weakness and in the presence of weakness, they stick to the guns even more.
Every time I see Obama on the news, I hear words that are conciliatory, compromising, and realistic. I've never heard him say "I'm a Muslim", "I'm a socialist", "I'm a communist", "I'm out to destroy the country", "I can solve every problem", but ask a Republican and they'll Google each of those phrases expecting to find a million results.
I didn't vote for Obama and I can't rattle off a list of accomplishments, but I don't need him to accomplish things. It's not his job to accomplish things. It's OUR job to accomplish things, to solve OUR problems. It's Obama's job to listen to us. Judging him by his rhetoric, he's doing a far better job than his predecessor. Bush held to his principles, wrong as they were, while Obama sits squarely in the middle as a centrist on most issues. I've heard him chastise his own party. I never heard anything like that from Bush.
But I agree with the OP. I can't see (and I'm not blind, thank you very much) the reasons the right feels Obama is such a loser. Did they expect him to solve all our problems? Isn't that just a form of lazy welfare, letting someone else do something for you while you sit back and complain? The right even wants Obama to fail just to prove themselves 'right' which to me is a worse crime than anyone could commit. It seems the right wants a strong leader who doesn't budge on principles. That sounds suspiciously like a dictator, yet they have the wherewithal to claim that Obama is a dictator!
All the actions of the right show me they are profoundly immature at best and insane at worst. I wish Obama was more successful in solving our problems through compromise, but look who he has to deal with! Millions of ignorant grumpkins sitting on their hands and pouting about not having their cake. And all those Republican toddlers in Congress too.
BRAVO!! I couldn't agree more
Funny how no one replied to this with anything intelligent or responses other than "kool-aid" insults. I laugh at the "kool-aid" comments. It's like grade schoolers who are too numbskulled to think of anything else to say but "your mama" in a shouting match.
Drinking kool-aide that heavily is really not so good for your health.
Obummer is a loser on all fronts and it is pretty obvious to anyone living on this planet and dealing with reality.
Ahhh, so you had no reply other than to repeat the same old rightie mantra, Obama bad, Dems bad, RINOs bad, anyone left of McCarthy bad, jeeeez some of you rightes really are starting to sound cultish.
