It is interesting to read all the criticism of President Obama, criticism that began even before he was inaugurated. He hasn't been in office a year. What basis do you Conservatives have for criticizing him? Isn't it better to judge the effectiveness of a President at the end of his time in office?

For instance, I criticize Bush and the Republican party based on 8 years of Republican performance. You had 8 years to create an environment that fostered economic growth; 8 years to control illegal immigration; 8 years to present a plan for better health care; 8 years to avoid a housing crisis; 8 years to keep foreign labor from displacing qualified American workforce; You had 8 years to deal with out-of-control street gangs; 8 years you had. Your warmongering meant that a trillion dollars would be dumped into a region of the world that you knew nothing about, an effort that was a total failure. The Cartoon Network could do more to influence the ideology of the Islamic fundamentalists than any "shock and awe" display. For 8 years, your warmongering meant that damn near 50 states would go into an economic free fall that is still stinging big time. It is this 8 years that I can unequivocally say, that Republicans don't have a clue and that Bush was the worst ever. EVER.

Obama is not even a year into his 8 years in office. You have no substantive basis to criticize him because his work is not yet completed. Get it? The extraordinary man was handed a shameful Republican mess, where domestic issues across the board were ignored for 8 horrific Republican years.

He is beyond reproach as far as you Regressives are concerned...and don't you forget it either.

These posts are just a fount of hysterical rhetoric and fantasy.

I'm on the floor over here, once again laughing my A** off.

I noticed you failed to mention that the dems have controlled congress for the last 3 years and one of them was a man named Obama.

Face it, things might have been bad for YOU for the last 8 years, but things are WORSE for almost everyone over the last 3 years under the dems control and 1 year of Obama controlling everything with an open checkbook.

The bigger picture is the dems have controlled it all for almost a year and everything under the sun has went the hell.

How much more time do you need to make excuses and blame Bush for what ails us today?

Remind yourself in another 3 months to look at the progress we have made under Obama and you will see we have went 1 step forward and 10 steps backwards under him.

Obama is more a continuation of Bush, a third term if you will, so of course he can be criticized. Deficits run amok, shady backroom political deals, partisan rancor in all elvels of government, disinterest in the voters needs and wishes, bailouts and sweetheart deals, incompetent or unfit appointees, he's the adopted Bush.

First, that's not the standard that was applied to Bush, or any other president for that matter. Secondly, it's our right (freedom of expression) to voice our opinions and there is nothing in the constitution that says we have to wait until a president is out of office to do so.
