1. Imagine where he'd be if he hadn't had every move obstructed.

This has been a sad period in our history.

[NYC_SKP]

2. Yep!

Sad period indeed.

He pulled our ass out of the fire, it could have been a period of enlightenment, another FDR period of true progress.

3. Couldn't get the link to work for me but found one that did:

Thanks for posting this, Skidmore.

[Skidmore]

5. Thanks. My kindle virtual keyboard hates me.

[spanone]

4. k&r...

[Duval]

6. Yes, he has been

despite all the obstruction from the Republicans. I will always be glad I voted twice for President Obama.

[YOHABLO]

7. I'll wait and see. He could be a lot more progressive on issues. Keystone? Chained CPI? TPP?

Single payer healthcare .. Putting big banksters in jail .. Pardon Don Siegalman? He's no FDR. But what he has been able to accomplish under such push back from the right is amazing. Republicans are disgusting.

[mimi85]

20. He couldn't do any of these things by himself.

Besides, he never ran on an extreme progressive agenda. Never would have been elected. I think history will be very good to PBO.

[Peacetrain]

8. logged back into to rec this!!!

Yes he has

[C Moon]

9. Nice!

[RiverLover]

10. Well, I personally am suffering from OLS, no matter what Krugman says

Obama Letdown Syndrome

11. K&R

Thanks, Rolling Stone!

[Township75]

12. Was this available before the election? It could have been what we needed to GOTV and get swing

Voters. The link didn't wprk for me so I can't tell. Couldd have been a game changer.

[Skidmore]

18. freshwest posted a working link on #3 post.

Sorry, I was working from a kindle and it doesn't always cooperate with copying and pasting for me.

[Ineeda]

19. I bought my hard copy over a week ago.

So yes it was available. And no, it turned out not to be a game changer.

[Township75]

24. Thanks. Maybe it just needed more time for the public to learn about it and read it.

things could have been different.

[Iliyah]

13. K & R

Can you image President Palin? Obstruction 24/7 and he has accomplished a lot even though some here constantly complain. I guess another GOP president will make them happy.

He is a Christian, and I don't give a s*** what the so called "Christians (devils) say.

[blkmusclmachine]

14. ... for the 1%.

[Iliyah]

15. For the 99%ers

But keep believing that - LOL

[fleur-de-lisa]

16. K&R. Thank you for posting! - eom

[santamargarita]

17. True! And that pisses them off even more-which is good.

I love to see their heads explode.

[scarystuffyo]

The war machine....yeah that
Wall Street and big bankers ...yeah that also

[wyldwolf]

(Link didn't work so didn't read the specifics.)

I'm thinking arguably the best President since FDR considering the difficult circumstances he inherited and has largely overcome despite endless obstructionism. If FDR had been plotted against and deliberately blocked at every turn by selfish, petulant extremists in Congress the way Obama has, they might well have been tried for treason or sedition.

25. Paul Krugman did and he wrote the piece that made the Cover of Rolling Stone.. guess that

didn't phase "the young people" we're hearing about who didn't vote b/c "nothing in it for them".. except they forgot about the future of our ...



And, the poor and vulnerable

26. In the future Obama will probably be seen by the majority this way

Once the older Fox news viewers die off and the younger generation gets older his "real" reputation will be what people judge him by.

29. THIRD WAY TALKING POINTS. TRASHING THREAD

Just joshing. K&R

[Maedhros]

30. Well, he certainly was very successful in turning the anti-war Democrats from 2008

into cheerleaders for war in Libya and Syria.
