Hopefully his accomplishment will be what the Weimar Republic in Germany and the post Czarist Kerensky government in Russia did not do. Preventing extremist fanatics from seizing control of the government and establishing a totalitarian state.

tk,when have you ever not been disgusted with him?

With leftist writing the textbooks, yes he will.

And for that matter, he was already the most accomplished president in history (by the mainstream media) before he even set foot in the White House. (Nobel Prize ring a bell?)

BTW, it's called "having control of both houses of Congress, with a 60-40 supermajority in the Senate".

Like the leftists in Texas who decided that Jefferson wasn't all that important or that separation of church and state wasn't either?

The Obama administration fixed it
Federal officials put jobs first in Bucyrus deal

President Barack Obama's administration came to its senses after its stubborn environmental principles proved toxic to employment hopes here in Wisconsin.
The federally funded U.S. Export-Import Bank announced Wednesday it was reversing a decision to reject an Indian company's request for loan guarantees. Had the initial decision stood, it could have wiped out $600 million in business for South Milwaukee company Bucyrus International.
The firm stands to sell that much in trucks, rope shovels and other mining equipment to Reliance Power Ltd., which is building a power plant in central India. According to an estimate from the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, the contract would lead to the addition of 326 jobs in southeastern Wisconsin alone

Interesting viewpoint.

For a lot of Americans, what we have in DC at the moment with the BHO-Pelosi-Reid Triad is One Party rule and that's about as close to being a totalitarian state we should ever see in this country. The House will most likely go back to Republican control in November. The Senate could also go back to the Republicans but it will most likely stay with the Dems by the slimmest of margins. Pelosi will become House Minority Leader again (thank God) and Reid will be in the unemployment lines with millions of other Americans.

BHO and his socialist ideologues know this and are attempting to cram as much of their leftist agenda down America's throat as they possibly can before November. Some folks are concerned that the extreme left in Congress will push as much of their liberal agenda into law as they can during the lame duck session immediately following the November elections.

That would be fanaticism and extremism at its worst. Let's hope this isn't the case.

Oh that's right, we're alllllll ignorant and thus our opinions don't matter. Gotcha.



You should run for Congress.

Hi believer, I am sure some people on the right are frightened by this. But if one party rule frightens them, were they terrified of the time 2001-2007 when we had Republican one party rule. If not, then they are just being partisan. Did the Republicans go nuts the during their lame duck period, why should the Dems be any more fanatical.
The Democrats got control by winning elections. The American people put them in charge of the government.

isadore...I never heard Conservatives bitch about one-party rule until they lost it

Also...got tell you guys about this

I'm sitting on lunch-break at work today,and a co-worker and I get into a political discussion. He somehow ends up on the Coal Mine explosion,and tells me that Obama had Bill Ayers blow up the mine on purpose. That is the most insane thing I have ever heard...so I ask him what/who his source was...and he it was a caller on the Glenn Beck radio show. Now I know there are people(including some of you here) that hate the President,but even none of you could believe this could you?

No, and I don't believe you either. Source?

this guy has got inside information obviously. This is all part of the plot by Obama, Reid, Pelosi and Greenpeace. Ayers blows up the mine, environmentalist sabotage the oil rig, Rush and others were on to this. And they send reverend wrigt to nuclear power site. we will all be up to our asses in wind turbines and solar panelshttp://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/05/sabotage-conspiracy-and-other-ways-to-spin-the-oil-spill/56347/.

Did you even read your own link?

"We're seeing the Rahm Emanuel rule number one taking effect"--never wasting a crisis--suggested former FEMA Director Michael Brown, a man of irreproachable credibility on the matter of disasters in the Gulf. The administration is exploiting the spill as an opportunity to "shut down offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico," Brown told, Chris Matthews, who in turn told Brown he sounded "crazy."


With the exception of Brown, these remarks fall short of true conspiracy theories"

Even Brown's comments fall short of any type of conspiracy theory, despite The Atlantic story.

lol, its a joke
God do you take everything so literally.

That's because it is hard to differentiate the sycophants' posts as being real or jokes.

on the other hand what kind of twisted mind sees the oil rig explosion and
"W]hat better way to head off more oil drilling, nuclear plants, than by blowing up a rig? I'm just noting the timing here," Limbaugh said. No wonder some dimbulb dittohead or teapartier could come up with a bombing theory.

You have to admit the timing IS a bit odd if coincidental. BHO basically OK's more drilling and acknowledges the need for an expanded nuclear option and then - BOOM - oil rig explosion causing an environmental disaster making the Exxon Valdez accident seem like a minor mop-up operation.

Personally I think the Gulf spill was a coincidental combination of BP negligence and federal bumbling. But I can certainly understand why some folks think it was a set-up run amok.

Umm It would be pretty hard for a source when I was just having a conversation at work

The socialist policies of this regime will not work; the radical leftists must be swept out in November:

AFP (7/1) reports, "The US economy created much less than expected private-sector jobs in June, a payrolls firm said Wednesday, in a further blow to the embattled labor market." According to "a survey by payrolls firm ADP...nonfarm private employment increased 13,000 from May to June on a seasonally adjusted basis," whereas "most economists had expected 61,000 jobs to be opened up this month."

The AP (7/1, Aversa), meanwhile, reports that according to "an analysis of Labor Department data released Wednesday...jobless rates dropped in 237 of 382 areas in May from April. It rose in 118 areas and was flat in 27." Those figures, however, "aren't adjusted to account for seasonal trends," and "despite some improvements on both the local and national employment fronts, millions of out-of-work Americans face a difficult time finding work. Roughly 134 metro areas had double-digit unemployment rates in May."

I don't like these options. It would to me there are two extremes (Strongly Approve/Disapprove) and a middle ground that says you somewhat approve. It would seem to me there are people somewhere in between who are not approving of the guy but do approve some things he has done and not willing to state they strongly disapprove of the guy. In addition there are people who do approve the guy who are not willing to state they strongly approve him. I do think there are move people who are disappoving who do like some things he has done.

You're probably right....the independents that decide all presidential elections have learned their lesson on re electing an idiot. Fool me once.....
