“And four years later we’re still picking up garbage for a living and just thanking God we have a job because our friends are unemployed or just stopped looking for work”
Ah, the American Dream under Barrack.

Btw That “ho-hum” is former brainwashed supporters that are just now realizing the One hasn’t done crap for them the last 4 years.

Obama will be president for the next four years.
Four more years, four more years…

Once again a Teapublican ignores history just to bash Obama. Ending two wars, stock market back near all-time high, housing market resurging, unemployment dropping, FEMA actually helping. No I guess O hasn’t done a damn thing!

Mr. Obama wanted to do so much in a bipartisan way he used Marco Rubio’s Dream Act as a model for immigration reform, Romney’s health care plan for Mass as a healthcare plan, and kept the Patriot act and many other Bush era security tools in place. Mr. McConnall who famously said his main goal was to make Mr. Obama a one term president is willing to work with Mr. Biden, but not Mr. Obama.
Cinci Steve would fit in well with the R’s in DC. His idea of bipartisanship is for D’s to vote his way. And sadly, that is much more lenient than Rightisright’s statements that a revolution is overdue and all media other than Fox should be hung. His words.
It would help our nation if we would all pick nine issues that we care about. I can’t believe that out of nine issues we don’t have something an overwhelming number of us can agree on.
Respectfully,
C.

Someone stole my comment from yesterday.
The only thing ho-hum about O is his lack of leadership and bowing to special interests.

AND, of course, when Obama DOES try to lead, the Republicans in "Con"gress scream bloody murder if he doesn’t bow and scrape to their every whim!
Then, they just refuse to do ANYTHING!

Democrats don’t clean up after themselves. Is that the point of this panel?

People believe whatever they choose to believe…Sadly, that can be the result of edited soundbites and media spin…

I think the “Ho Hum” is just suggestive of the more common comeback to Obama supporters of "Soooo – How’s that “Hope & Change” thing workin’ out for ya?…"
For many, it hasn’t seemed to go so well…but I am convinced of one thing – when Obama’s time is done, the history records will enshrine him up there with the greatest of the great…Those in power are the authors of history. It may not be true, but decades from now, when young people study history, they will be fed the history as written by those in power, as it has always been.

@HOWGOZIT
Thank you for your replies, Howgozit, here and under Wilkenson’s. As the comments are roughly the same, I’ll just reply here.
If I provide links to ‘objective’ websites showing where Mr. Obama has been a centrist on the non-social issues, will you take the time to read them? I believe it was you who told me months ago you’ve little time for such things, or for providing such. If I’m mistaking you for another, please accept my apology.
As far as making concessions go, I once again refer to the 2010 debt ceiling negotiations between Mr. Boehnor and Mr. Obama where I saw video of the Speaker lean against the back of the elevator, sigh with a smile, and say he had gotten 98% of what he wanted. Someone had made concessions, and he didn’t seem to feel he had been the one.
I will continue in my endeavor to be a reasoned poster, but being human, will fail from time to time. Thank you for making me hold to my ‘brand’.
I’d still love to play dueling laptops with you in a wifi coffee house or bar, Howgozit. I think it would be…illuminating.
With much respect,
C.

If only. I wish this was the case. But still a lot voted for the guy because they either look like him or guilt. And I bet the race card will still be played by the loony left. The loony left is still crying about women and such, yet have given Obama a free pass on that. I have no doubt us that are color blind will still be called a racist just because we do not have a D beside our name!

@SkepticCal
All the Democrats have been doing the last four years is trying to clean up the mess left by the republicans the previous 8 years. Get your head out of your rear.

Is that why “w” won’t be heralded as the worst president ever?

@HOWGOZIT
Mr. Downs offered examples of his point. He substantiated his opined position with demonstrated actions by the President. You on the other hand are too stupid to see what is FACT and what is TRUTH unless it is the lies and spin and ignorance you willingly suck down from your partisan propaganda masters.
You like most of the other CONservative posters here are quickly demonstrating your irrelevance by your willingness to ignore reality.
