Even more suprising than Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize is the rabid partisan right’s blindness to the accomplishments of Obama’s still-young presidency. Apparently, they need reminders. Let’s begin here:
$2,500 tax credit to help offset the cost of tuition (among other expenses) for those seeking a college education. Nearly five million families are expected to save $9 billion, according to Treasury officials.
Obama created a White House Urban Affairs office to strengthen U.S. cities. In addition to listening to and acting on the concerns of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and securing for the DOJ 2 billion in Byrne Grants targeting anti-gang and illegal gun control:
The Administration also included an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant – conceived by The U.S. Conference of Mayors and the top priority in the mayors’ Ten Point Plan — in the Recovery Bill. This Grant positions cities to receive an unprecedented $2.8 billion, and supports mayoral efforts to meet the goals of the Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement, which commits cities to meet Kyoto Protocol Standards by 2012.

Some of us don't see Obama spending us into oblivion as an accomplishment . I predict in 20 years from now, he will be called the Worst President Ever by the generations that will live with the debt he's heaped on them.
All he's really done is add more unnecessary government jobs.
Examples?

I guess the left loves so much spending and being in so much debt.
This might not be a completely horrible point if the previous administration hadn't gone and completely blown the budget surplus left to them and increased the size of the government by record numbers.

That's an interesting argument you have there: The previous administration was fiscally irresponsible so it's OK for this administration to be fiscally reckless. Love your logic.
The era of big government has returned with a vengeance, in the form of the largest federal work force in modern history.
The Obama administration says the government will grow to 2.15 million employees this year, topping 2 million for the first time since President Clinton declared that "the era of big government is over"
