PP13, I followed your first link. Put it this way, I encourage readers to follow the link and read the “accomplishments”. I started to write something about each bullet, then I thought you might be joking.

Then I followed your second link. Well Obama certainly has made some progress. Below I’ve listed a few Obama accomplishements provided by your second link.

* Expand the Senior Corps volunteer program.

* Expand funding to train primary care providers and public health practitioners

* Increase funding to expand community based prevention programs

* Sign the UN Convention to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

* Assure that the Veterans Administration budget is prepared and ‘must-pass’ legislation (imagine that).

* Appoint a special advisor to the president on violence against women

* Direct military leaders to end war in Iraq (please)

* Send 2 additional brigades to Afghanistan (after how many months)

* Give a speech at a major Islamic forum in the first 100 days of administration

* Grant Americans unrestricted rights to visit family and send money to Cuba

* Release Presidential records

* Require new hires to sign a form affirming their hiring was not due to political affiliation or contributions (like Van Jones or all the rest)

I give up!

Since it looks like someone has tampered with that wiki since last I visited (protesters come in all shapes after all), here are some other, less FoxNewsy answers…

Maybe next time you guys should actually make some helpful suggestions, rather than spend the next four or eight years filibustering any and every Democratic initiative that comes to the table. Talk about people securing their votes by quite literally doing -nothing-!

Should Congress lead, or reflect the public will? The objective has become blurred. The objective, and name, started out as Health Insurance Reform. Now…the objective is “pass the bill at ANY cost”.

I believe Democrats fear what Robert Blendon stated in the article above, “If they fail to get a bill enacted, it will … show they are incapable of leading the country” when they control both the White House and Congress.

This administration has yet to provide any indication that they are capable of leading such a monumental initiative. I REALLY doubt they know what they’re doing. I simply don’t trust them to do the right thing, for the right reason, and to do it efficiently.

Please…someone name a few programs that have been implemented since inauguration that can be labeled a success.
