I agree, we need Obama out. That is the FIRST change we need.

So that's your answer seeing that Obama isn't doing his job? We had to go down anyway?

His policies prevented the collapse of the US economy which started under the Republicans. When he took office, the big word was depression -were we going to have another great depression. This has been avoided. And now, like other economic crisis, this will take time to get over. It took 8 years for the GOP to destroy the US economy, it will take a year or two to recover.

oohh please... The collapse of the US economy was stopped by Bush before he left office. Remember that bailout bill?

Obama hasnt done CRAP to avoid a recession.. Even his stimulus package hasnt even been spent. Less than 1/3rd of the "plan" has been put into place.

Straight from the playbook. Good job.

Yahda, yahda, yahda. All those promises, and now that he's in office, it's nothing but excuses.

The man has had over a year to make all those differences, but hasn't accomplished a darn thing.

Interesting article. Who will his supporters blame, the minoroity party or the party with all 3 branches in control?
He's been in office one year, he inherited two failed wars and an economic Depression caused by GOP ineptitude and criminally reckless spending.

He blew it on health care reform, but at least he tried, unlike the GOP, content only to kill any reform.

Thanks again Republicans, although it was nice of Obama to enter the lions den in Baltimore and, all by himself, expose them.

Thats the mentality of America. But a majority of Americans have still realized how bad the Republican Party really is. Obama needs to abandon bi partisanship before its too late, the GOP only is worried about lobbyist contributions and derailing any attempts to repair the damage left by Bush.

Which remains considerable.

Obama is an accomplished LIAR,he promised southern Ohio 5,000 jobs at the Piketon Ohio uranium enrichment plant and to build a nuclear power plant on this site.This plant has served America for over 50 years during the cold war and closed by the current owners but they need a loan to create the next generation of centrifuge.Where does this loan go to but a company in France[Avera] who wants to build it in Idaho with all the profits going to France and we get the waste!They have a plant on site in Piketon to clean and recover uranium waste on site here now! So why do you want to build in Idaho when you have the infrastructure in place at Piketon? He also restated this in his State of the Union address about nuclear power so when Rep.Jean Schmidt reminded him of his promise to southern Ohio his replied "and what was that"? Can't remember where the 1st nuclear power plant to be build in the U.S.A. in decades and can't remember where you made this promise? Maybe Governor Strickland and Senator Brown should remind him of this promise because it is election year here in Ohio and i vote! Besides this plant will be guarded forever anyway and we want it here.I bet Idahoians don't want it,but what is ironic the Piketon plant is close to a community called Idaho.Can't even read a map .

His accomplishments are many. He is currently actively engaged in exposing the GOP and will likely be successful at that as well.
