Blue, nobody paid attention in civics class. Without cooperation and compromise, the government doesn’t work….And that’s just what the Right Wing wants. They hate our government!
Two things he had immediate control over: Closing Gitmo and withdrawing from Iraq. One took two years to start (and isn’t finished yet) and the other is never going to happen.
Also, he could have refused to sign the legisilation that extended the Bush tax cuts until it was rewritten to just have an increase on teh wealthiest. But to be fair, he never promised that he wouldn’t fill his cabinet and advisory staff with Wall Street mavens like Larry Summers and Tim the tax cheat. Geithner.
After hearing Obama denounced as everything from a communist out to destroy Wall Street to a fascist in league with Wall Street, I’ve come to the conclusion that his critics are saying more about themselves than they are about him.

Hey, yeah, Obama 2003 seems a lot more interesting in retrospect. Can we have him back, please?

There’s a big part of me that just wants to Obamanate Obama. Who stole our president and stuck us with this pretender?

Gee, the fact Congress has been blockading and forcing modifications of what he was talking about really hasn’t sunk in, has it?

@Varnes: The Right Wing doesn’t hate our government, as long as they’re in control of it.
