I'm beginning to feel about Obama like I did with Carter.
He's a good, honest, sincere person but often ineffectual as a president.
When you're up against gangsters sincerity doesn't cut it.
In politics you need a gambler who's willing to hit below the belt If that's what it takes to get things done.
He did gamble and was willing to play an all or nothing game with Osama and he won.
If he could muster more of this winner take all attitude, I'd have more respect for him as my president.
When the GOP threatens to take down the country if they don't get their way he will never let things play out.
He will give them what they want and they know it.
They can threaten anything at all because they know they will never be tested.
He refuses to play an all or nothing with them when that is the only way he will succeed as president.

Exhibit A: The Affordable Health Care Act will reduce premiums.
Everyone that I know of has had a premium increases since 0bama care was forced on us.
Exhibit B: Starting in Jan (of 2011) people will be seeing bigger paychecks.
I don't know a single person who's paycheck got bigger in Jan.
The good news is, Carter only got one term and the country was saved by his replacement President Ronald Reagan, hopefully history will repeat itself and whoever the GOP president is will do the same.

24. Lady. Get some coffee. President Obama has accomplish more in 2.5
years than any President since Lincoln. Please do not give the FDR line, FDR did not get moving until after most of his first term was over.
What exactly has 0bama accomplished?
