....the unemployment rate would have risen to and been stuck above 9%, with real unemployment around double that?
....the housing market would still be sinking?
....the number of people in poverty would be at historic highs?
....the number of people on food stamps would be at historic highs?
....the healthcareless bill would turn out so "unexpectedly" bad that thousands of companies would need waivers just to stay in business?
....1 of the 2 wars would be expanded threefold, the other would be extended and 3 more would be added illegally?
....GITMO would still be open and operating on all cylinders?
....the detainees at GITMO STILL would not have had their trial?
....Obama would decide it is best to extend the Bush tax cuts?
....Obama's policies would prove so horrible that the democrats would lose the midterm elections in historic fashion?
....Obama would refuse to admit any mistakes and would do nothing but be divisive, negative and insult & blame everyone else?
....America would lose its AAA credit rating on Obama's watch?
....we would be heading into a double dip recession? Some say depression.
....we would have record record setting deficits?
....the debt would have been expanded the fastest of any POTUS in history?
....the democrat Senate STILL would not have passed a budget?
....Obama's budget would not even get ONE democrat vote and would go down 97-0?
In short, is this the Change you were Hoping for? Is this exactly what you envisioned? I know this isn't what I thought it would be like when I voted for him. Now where is that mulligan I need so badly?
I knew that President Obama would have a very steep uphill battle to fight and I was (and am) ready to give him a full 8 years to undo 8 years of the GWB policies and setbacks. President Obama did not step into the White House after the successful presidency of Bill Clinton, he stepped into the horsecrap that GWB left behind and the open calls for sabotage from the GOP. President Obama has done well, especially with all things considered.

How can you say he has done well when you look at the list of failures in the first post? What exactly has he done that is so great? We are currently crashing done the side of the mountain and are on fire!
And ah yes. We must fall back to blaming Bush. I guess that never goes out of style. After all, Bush had it easy. I mean in the first year all he had to deal with was the recession Clinton set up for him, the dot.com bubble burst and some attack on 9-11. That wasn't much. That was like a walk in the park.

The slant of your list displays your personal bias. That is all
I didn't vote for Obama since I knew he would gettoize the Nation in less than 4 years. He couldn't run a road side lemonade stand.
