but I couldn't think of anything...
Seriously. Has this guy and his adminstration done anything good for our country?
I thought and I thought and I thought and I thought....

Absolutely.
He and other democrats, have shown just how pathetic they are!
Seriously, I kept coming back and forth to this thread and really tried to think of something and I coudn't.
Other than showing how pathetic democrats are, I can't either.
Ah, more partisan ry.
Anyone who says anything positive wil be automatically gainsayed by the Republibots, so no need say anything except jack is a gay drama queen.
He's gotten black people interested in politics. Well, he did during October and November of last year. He's given a lot of work to photographers since they take his picture so much. And how many presidents can say they wore mom jeans?
hmm, well he speaks well, "listen......blah, blah blah" "listen, blah, blah, blah". Ha. I keed, I keed. But really he hasn't done anything besides propose ty health plans, appear on ESPN to fill out his bracket, pitch at the world series, and "try" to relate to the every day man by talking sports and relaxing with a beer. He's actually very likeable by what he says, it's the whole obama train, but honestly I don't like anyone who judges so quickly because of party. My parents/grandparents are pretty damn conservative, but I've grown to be pretty moderate-tho still right by a little-but this is just honest criticism, nothing has been done, ha, really. Given not much time has gone by so im willing to give him his term to judge. He did come into a bear of a mess, which yes the bush admin did create some of BUT congress created most of. And congress continues to fail miserably-it's ing annoying having all these people that represent us be such bags and really mostly concerned about personal agendas-only a few really care about the countries future... in sad. Either way obama as pres i was like you know i like that it shows the us is ready to vote as a majority for a black pres, but the reasons behind it were well, re ed. It wasn't who would be better, it was look what bush did and mccain is in the same party as him....done and done. it was over then and there. Bush had many faults, i just don't like people who switch on the tube, listen to msnbc,cnn,fox, whatever and take their views from them. Bush didn't solely put this economy where its at - it was many many congressman,banks,ceo's, mangers, people in general that were shady. Ok, im going way off im a little faded... but yea we will see what happens and ill be the first to give props if he can actually turn some things around.
What I have enjoyed is the resident conservatives butt hurtness after america rejected their kind of politics..he has accomplished that!
Its a young presidency, so FWIW at this early of a stage, I'll actually answer the OP's question.
No, he hasnt done anything I would consider "good" or "better" than its been done before. So far, he's another puppet in a recent string of puppet Presidents. He's agenda driven and the Dems know majorities dont last long so theyre jam-packing their schedule passing all the legislation theyve failed to do over the past (almost) 20 years.
Its kind of pathetic and alarming at the same time. Cant say I didnt expect it, though. Majorities are always bad, regardless of party.

This may be a "young" presidency, but he has accomplished a lot in seven months. (With Congress, he has already increased the budget deficit by 400% or something.) It's fair to say, at this point, whether or not he's done anything good.
I disagree with almost everything he says and does. His handling of the Iranian elections was pretty decent at times, though.
I think it got a bunch of posters here really pissed off. That brought out what they REALLY think. That's a positive in my book.![]()
Where is the change that he promised? He bashed McCain all the time saying that McCain was running for Bush's 3rd term. Couldn't it be said that Obama is serving Bush's 3rd term?
First: We haven't been hit by a terrorist attack (if it's an accomplishment for Bush, it is for Obama, as well.)
Second: Tocqueville (one of my favorites) continues to be proven particularly prescient.
Third: (I'm thinking)
You can't think of anything either. It really is tough.
He's not a venal, criminal Repug.
But he is a venal, criminal democrap.
The banks that were going to put us into a depression are making money again.
The US is (slowly) getting out of Iraq.
Which was planned long before Obama took office. Try again.
Oh, you're right. I'm sure they had plans in 2003 for getting out.
Goldman and JP Morgan are bank receivers, not traditional banks. Their profits come mainly from electronic trading and mergers, i think. The banking sector is still in the dumps. Too many loan losses, too much tied up in untradable "legacy" assets.
Also given that TARP transparency is almost zero, it's impossible to be sure how much of these so-called profits are government assisted.
Im not a fan AT ALL of Obama... and hope he is a 1 termer... but I do like the fact that he is allowing us to fund stem cell research again.
