1) he handled the economic crisis, maybe some of us don’t like the result but we are stable. yes he has more work to do but he has only been there eleven months.
2) he controlled the healthcare debate and kept members of congress focussed on the mission allowing them to pass the legislation they did. I know it is not the exact language we want but he is moving forward and it really is better than nothing–and there are some important changes that will take effect once he signs that legislation—but the fact is he is close to signing it—that has never happened before
3) he addressed gitmo–and is taking steps to close it–whether you agree or not, it’s the right thing to do–even if he has to put them in his home state
4) he redefined Iraq, and refocused the troops in Afghanistan
5) he continues to do town halls speaking directly to the people–he remains visible and reassuring
6) he has changed our perception in the world and now we are gaining respect again
7) he exhibits patients and wisdom—I know many would like him to just go in there and wave his magical wand and poof the world would be ok–but no one was able to do it before and we should have unreasonable expectations when it comes to Obama
8) he has to deal with FAUX NEWS–despite all the lies, attacks, accusations that are lodged at him by the radicals, the republicans, the spineless democrats he remains composed and diligently moves forward.
9) he has a clear vision for america and smart enough to know that change doesn’t happen over night
10) he immediately increased the take home paycheck for working families by decreasing taxes.
11) he extended Cobra and made it almost affordable(lol)
12) He is married to Michelle who started a vegetable garden,
13) HE WON NOBEL PEACE PRIZE–whether you think he deserves it or not–he won it–and if he won it–he deserves it
14) in his past ten months he has done much better than the last guy did in eight years…..shall i continue
pollitkat….what a bunch of worthless datribe….everything you have said about this monster obama is blatently untrue or misleading…i have followed politics for the past 25 years and he is the first politician that actually scares the s__t out of me. how can a person be so blinded? well, actually, that is what they want is people like you who simply believe what you see on cnn or lamestreet media or drink the kool-aide. wake up before it is too late…both parties in congress are the problem, the entire congress should be behind bars. for anyone to be so blind as to approve either one of them or a president who goes right along with the lies and corruption. if that does not scare you then how about a time in the not to distant future when all your money won’t even buy you a loaf of bread…will you believe then….you better get into some serious research and stop believing what you are being told.
