Great expectations, (ugh) a novel I had to read in high school.
I called my English teacher Miss Havasham.

I’ve had the lowest expectations of O and he hasn’t disappointed me yet, other than living down to my low expectations. Seems 1/2 the country is not only happy with O’s failures they want them for 4 more years.

@Ms. Ima
Well, we endured 8 years of shrub’s failures, so…

The failure of the last four years comes from a Senate that will do nothing without a supper majority and (for the last two years) the Teaparty controlled House. When the only goal of the Republicans in Congress was to make the President look bad, it should be no surprise that the Country looks like a failure. My expectations could not be lower.

When he inherited a government that was in as much of a mess worldwide that the shrub left, AND had to fight a "Con"gress who’s ONLY stated objective was to be sure He was a one-term President, and attempted to accomplish that by blocking EVERY single thing that Obama proposed, no matter what it did to the economy, then I think he has done a darn good job.
Just remember…The economy is recovering IN SPITE of "Con"gress, NOT BECAUSE of "Con"gress!

Obama has been great, but the party of No is still dragging America down with what power they cling to. Bush did nothing for me but explode the debt and tarnish the American brand with pointless wars, torture, huge giveaways to corporations, and illegal detention without trial. Obama has done major work on all these things where not obstructed by the cowards in congress (WHY do we still ahve Guantanamo? Anyone?) Plus being able to buy my own health insurance in a free market is a huge move towards actual, practical, freedom.

Obama has contineud every one of Bush’s Policies, ha had hsi chance in late December 2010 to end the Bush Tax Cuts by simply Vetoing the Bil extending them that his own party passed when they Controlled the House and Senate in late December 2010.
The Democrats are to balme beacause nancy Pelosi and increased the debt ceiling from January 2007 to December 2010 instead of passing a Budget

No, not nothing. Just a few stupid things and maybe some additional pork projects for their own state.

@Mr. King
I’d vote zilch for those two and about 75% for President Obama. He’s not perfect, no one is. He’s doing so much better than the shrubster and cheney, where I’d rate them zilch too.
