TO THOSE WHO CONSIDER PRESIDENT OBAMA A DISAPPOINTMENT; YOU'RE JUST NOT PAYING ATTENTION!
   
I have been a bit critical of President Obama because I don't understand his political style. Just when I think I can't support him because he hasn't moved on change suddenly he surprises me flipping things over. This blog is a list of what he has accomplished and, honestly, I think it is because of his style of politics that he has been able to get so much passed. With no grandstanding comes less coverage...the right probably thinks he is ineffective because he isn't patting himself on the back all the time and drawing attention to what he is doing.

After reading this blog I think I might need to send the President a note saying he is doing a good job. (and, of course, asking for more.

(and don't yell at me for using all caps in the headline...I'm sharing it as it was originally written :0)

He isn't patting himself on the back?  :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: The man dislocates his shoulder every few days patting himself on the back.

I do agree with the headline though, anyone who has been paying attention is not disappointed with 0bama at all. We knew he was going to be a crappy president and we knew he is a Marxist. The only disappointment we have is with the boneheads who elected him.

3. The Right never goes off message...it is hard to see what is really going on
   
and when the right includes a good chunk of the media, it means the brainwashing never stops.


One news channel is a huge chunk of the media now.  :mental:

21. If you loved him at the beginning...
   
there is really no reason to not love him now unless you believe all the crap from the media - FOX News and the PL!

Yeah the unemployment and debt numbers are all made up by Faux snooze. In reality unemployment is at 0% and we have 0 debt.  :whatever:

23. There are more, but I will agree that Obama has been relentlessly attacked by the media
   
Unfairly at that

Funny I haven't seen the media attack their golden boy yet.

36. He oversaw the creation of more jobs in 2010 alone than Bush did in eight years
   
process tweaks ... Pfft.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I believe the question was "can you hear me now"? and the answer was NOvember 2010.

Who is it that is not paying attention here?

Oh lookey, another NOvember is on the way in about 14 months, same question in the que. Don't miss the short bus again!

True; "Disappointment" is far, far too mild a word for the scope of the catastrophe he represents.

I almost have pity for those poor folks.
Not much, they brought it upon themselves.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

I think a caller to Hannity today let the new talking point from the DNC out of the bag. He pretty much said that if the GOP had been in charge since 2008 that things would be much worse right now. So look for posts at DUmmyland making that claim in the near future.

You're just not paying attention.

We haven't been allowed to frame the argument correctly.

The right people just haven't tried it yet.

The American people aren't smart enough to appreciate us.

We need to get our message out to a wider audience.


Did I miss any other excuses?

It's been out there for about a month.  To which Hannity (hopefully) should have said, "Prove it."

I also tend to doubt that we'd have this much debt if McCain had won.  Close, maybe, but not this much.

The biggest difference, and it's huge one, a game-changer, is that normal people would now have 7-2 majority on the Supreme Court, not the current 5-4 margin that's a cliffhanger on every issue.

The Court can now go solid moonbat in the wink of an eye if the wrong man has a tragic heart attack.
 
That's the real issue in the 2012 elections that a lot of idiots on both sides refuse to see.

Today was the first time I heard a lib bring that up.

I do recall when insurance premiums started to rise in Jan they claimed that without 0bamacare our premiums would have shot up higher.

A basic trait of a regressive is battered wife syndrome. Look at how the black community has been decimated and they just keep on voting for more of the same.

I don't consider Obama a disappointment....I consider him a complete and absolute failure.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

That post of yours implies that Pammy would actually learn from her mistakes.  Not likely.

I agree Frank, he's worse than Carter.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

I just can't concede he's worse than Carter yet. But he will be with us for at least another year and a half, and I still fear his chance for re-election is significantly better than 50-50.

By the time he's finished, whenever that is, I'm pretty sure I will be in agreement with you.

Yeah, I'd put the odds at 50/50 too.  Other than healthcare (which plays to his core base), there isn't much for him to campaign on in a positive fashion.
