Couldn't believe the USA Today headline

"Voters' anxiety clouds his [Obama's] historic successes"

What historic successes? I asked. I didn't even read the article but here's the list I thought of in 2 minutes.

1. Healthcare--lies, distortions, and 70% of the nation didn't want it, and now CBO is slowly, slowly feeding us the real costs.

2. Unemployment--ARRA has been a complete failure--it dribbled the first year, and is now about 1/2 doled out although not spent, and the rest will be used to buy votes for 2012. He said we need to throw more tax money at the problem without even thinking it through or reading the bill so that unemployment wouldn't go above 8%.

3. Racial unrest has been inflamed by his intemperate words--worse than I can remember since the Rodney King days.

4. Terrorist risk has increased by his ignoring jihadists and trying to redefine terror, and by going after Tea Party people and the only news source that will stand up to him.

5. Sycophant, bowing and scraping to foreign powers.

6. Failure to protect the border--in this he continues a long line of failures, including President Bush.

7. Failure to act immediately in the recent Gulf oil spill. Compared to his 11 days, the response to Hurricane Katrina was lightning fast.

8. Failure to act quickly with troop requests for Afghanistan, the place he said during the campaign was the "real war."

9. Pushing a steady flow of socialist and marxist appointees and czars through for appointments. As each socialist agenda is revealed, Obama announces plans to tackle jobs, but only the government is hiring. He believes in BIG POWERFUL government and more regulations to restore the economy.

10. Making a mockery of the "peace prize," especially since he's selling out his own country every day.

Here are my responses to your two-minute accumulation of thoughts.
#1. Get your head out of Fox News' behind.
#3. Only among those who are looking for a reason, e.g. you and the other Angry Ones.
#4. Hardly.
#5. Yes, respect for other countries must be interpreted as "bowing and scraping," mustn't it? You insult the strength of our own country with this characterization.
#7. Bull pucky.
#9. Where do you get this stuff?? Never mind; I know where you get it.
#10. The President's acceptance speech (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/11/world/europe/11prexy.text.html) made it clear that he accepted with humility.
Overall, you take a very short view of politics and the world economy.

PastaMan, your response to Norma's blog is the perfect definition for "bull pucky". You need to pull your head out of the sand. How about you coming up with a successful Obama accomplishment! LOL

He couldn't think of a single accomplishment, nor can the voters.

We have no point at which we can agree, from which to begin any discussion.
You and your TEA party ilk see UP as DOWN, BLACK as WHITE, GOOD as BAD. You know what you know and nobody can pry open your little minds.

PastaMan, we won't compare you to Crist if you pull your head out of the sand and change positions. You're just in a state of denial which happens to a lot of Progressives these days. This can easily be relieved with a slap in the face with a cold wet towel. Try it and wake up to the fact that Obamaism is taking this country down. Get yourself on the right track and your grandchildren will be thanking you for it! Otherwise we expect you to provide us with ONE successful piece of legislation that Obama has signed into law.

"Past a man" knows what he knows and nobody can pry open his little noodling mind. He takes a very short view of politics and the world economy because he takes all his values and thoughts from the writers of the New York Times, a struggling and failing prop for Obamism.
