This may have been posted previously - I did a search and saw that a link had been posted in a recent discussion. But, imho, it deserves its own OP:

What does matter is that this president has compiled a STELLAR record given the circumstances under which he took office. If you can look at this list of the president's accomplishments and not be excited, you have a serious problem with perspective.

Pass this list around to everyone you know. And don't be afraid; unlike many such lists, every item includes a link to a citation supporting it.

He Returned The Executive Branch To Fiscal Responsibility After the Bush Debacle

1. Within his first week, he signed an Executive Order ordering an audit of government contracts, and combating waste and abuse. http://1.usa.gov/dUvbu5

2. Created the post of Chief Performance Officer, whose job it is to make operations more efficient to save the federal government money. http://n.pr/hcgBn1

3. On his first full day, he froze White House salaries. http://on.msnbc.com/ewJUIx

4. He appointed the first Federal Chief Information Officer to oversee federal IT spending. http://www.cio.gov

5. He committed to phasing out unnecessary and outdated weapons systems. To that end, he also signed the Democratic-sponsored Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act, which attempted to put a stop to waste, fraud and abuse in the defense procurement and contracting system. http://bit.ly/hOw1t1 http://bit.ly/fz8GAd

6. Through an executive order, he created the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. http://bit.ly/hwKhKa

4. Wow, that article is really condescending

If you don't love, love, love Obama get over it.

Sounds like what RepubliCONS told us when they stole the 2000 election by getting the dancing supremes to overturn the US Constitution.

Some of those things mentioned in the article were terrible for the middle class. Like freezing federal pay. Most of the people who work for the federal government are middle class workers just trying to make a living. Freezing their pay is just stupid, he should have doubled their pay. It's like claiming Clinton was a liberal by touting the axe he took to welfare.

I also noticed not one word of how he used his Democratic lame duck congress to extend the bushes tax give away to the uber rich, ensuring a continued budget deficit ripe for use as a bludgeon by the RepubliCONS. And not one word of how he has not helped homeowners and allowed millions to lose their home through fraud even though TARP had programs and funding to help homeowners. And how he has passed those "free" trade loving NAFTA style trade agreements and how he is developing in secret a corporate bill of rights he calls a trade agreement, the TPP.

Obama is no liberal but he talks like one when he runs for elections. I'll vote for Obama because as some political hack once said, I have nowhere else to go. But I'm not going to pretend Obama is doing a good job as a liberal.
