How much progress have we made since Bush left?
   
This is how I measure the Presidency and the Congress.

We were in a very deep hole when the prodigal son departed Washington.

We are still in a deep hole. Although we have had some notable victories, we are not making the progress needed to recover from the Bush years.

It's like as if we take a pain pill and we feel much better but the cancer is still there.

Is this the wrong way to measure success or failure?

But, what would I know? I am a member of the left wing of the Party. Everybody knows we are unrealistic and unappreciative.

This chart will show the progress made. The bolded part is during Barry's time as POTUS.

2. Repeal of DADT is a huge victory and I give credit to the president for that -
   
however, his economic policies still need a lot of work.

No kidding.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

To a DUmmie, that's a big ****ing deal.... :whatever:... :hammer:

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

Not just the record number of months that unemployment has been above 9%. Congress at record low approval, Obama below 40% approval with 45% STRONGLY DISAPPROVING. Obama HellCare at 70% for repeal. Oh and five trillion dollars in deficit spending since Nazi Pelosi and the democratics took control of the congress.

So for general America things are f*cking terrible.  For those that hate America things are going quite well.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I know, It's just hard to follow the logic of these shit for brain primitives when they try to blame "W" for all that's wrong in the world!

If it were 20 years ago they would still be sayin' "It's all Bush's fault"! Never mind the fact that Zero has spent more of the public dime than all the presidents before him combined!

Well, kentuck, you stupid schmuck, you have done considerable damage, a lot of it is fortunately repairable but it remains to be seen if that much of it can be undone.
