Are you really serious that someone else couldn't have had different results?

Stimulus - Huge waste of money with nothing accomplished.

Job Creation - How are all those shovel ready jobs working out?

Cash for Clunkers - Worked out great (for foreign car companies)

Health Care Reform - Totally effed up.

Closing Guantanamo - I haven't been there, but I hear it's still open.

I could go on, but the more I think about it, the more depressed I get.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

can't wait to count the lies in the State of the Union...

FYI new change of terms...."jobs created or saved" has not been working out so well...from now on the Obamorons will be referring to "jobs funded" to claim success because, of course...they've funded them, just not sure where all of the money went, they did their job and "funded" the job creation and saving, don't try to blame them if none of it actually materialized, typical liberal logic, listen to what we say and don't blame us for what we or our programs fail to do, just shut up, and give us more and more money......like climate change...it's changing...just not sure where all the Global Warming went... and those "man caused disasters" shooting up Army bases and trying to blow up airplanes who are closely linked by a single radical cleric(probably just a coincidence, like Obama and Bill Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis, Rashid Khalidi, Bernadine Dorn, Rev. Wright, Father Flaeger, Wilfred Mitsuji Oka-this is a new one that you should check out, and on and on )... and one is a terrorist and one is not...the one that didn't kill anyone is a terrorist? who was initially an "isolated extremist" but then...later... part of the Al Qaeda terrorist network sporting and underwear bomb ...go figure......

yes JD...he is "our" president...however, many of us will not have to apologize to our children in the future for our vote to elect a radical leftist(marxist,socialist,communist,facist, progressive...pick your term, it's all in the eye of the beholder and none belong in the White House) to the highest office in the land... and all that will result from that unfortunate decision...

It seems like you're just repeating terms you've read or heard. You are aware that all those terms are different, right?

It's been a great first year .

Jury is out on the economy. Did he help fix it?

Wars: Iraq has a chance but he inherited that.

AFG? Who knows. After twiddling fingers for months he moved forward. We'll see.

Iran, NORKS ?

So I'll bite, I'm in the dissatisfied column though only marginally dissatisfied - which means I'm less dissatisfied than I might otherwise have been. At this point I'm not voting for him in Round 2.

regardless of the hairs that JD would like to split regarding the terms(and I would argue that it's the left that constantly shifts terms and constantly tries to dodge any accurate lable..."I'm not a Socialist, I just like to spread the wealth around") the individual is more quickly than ever in our history becoming subjugated to a large centralized government...this country was founded on princilples subjugating limited government to the individual and the People..not the other way around...this is the culmination of nearly a hundred years of subsersives pushing this country to the left...the government is increasingly becoming involved in your life from the moment that you scratch yourself in the morning until you shut your eyes at night...some find comfort in that...others recognize where it has led in the past and will sadly lead here ....

JD has made it clear that he has utter disdain for the "average" individual and their lack of comprehension of virtually every important subject in his opinion...he, however has an incredible grasp and knowledge and depth of understanding of any subjuct that you wish to discuss and if you disagree with him you are simply repeating something that you must have heard elsewhere and would never have concluded on your own...

see how it works ?...

this is what the elitist tell themselves and the mode in which they operate as they seek more and more control over your life....

History has shown...EVERY SINGLE TIME, when you cut taxes the economy recovers and jobs are created.
