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.
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.
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.
Har-de-har-har-har! Obummer had TWO YEARS of total DemoTAXocrat control and could do NOTHING! His first budget was voted down by the DemoTAXocrat Senate 99-0!!!
But if he changes ANYTHING by Executive Order without the express permission of Congress and Emperor Grover the First you yell and scream that he’s exceeding his authority.

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

I know this is off topic, but I love Great Expectations — I’ve read it probably ten times. Dickens was crazy, but wonderful.

Nothing on the fiscal cliff. Nothing on gun control. America will no longer be the greatest nation in the world if we don’t start DOING something.
