CNN's John King examines the achievements of the Obama administration, so far.

1. Wasn't it nice of King to include a "person of color" at the end? Makes it all "legit", don't it?

:mad:

[janedum]

2. Oh PULEEZE!! I believe he's the co-anchor. His ethnicity is a coincidence.

[stlsaxman]

11. well this is a "first impression"- i have never seen the show. First impressions are often correct.

King: "Let's hear now from a bald, medium to light skinned African American gentleman who bears a remarkable resemblance to that famous person from the 'Professional Left'- Van Jones..."

:grouphug: -"We'll now sing a rousing chorus of Kumbaya!"

[Enthusiast]

7. Yes, it gave me a sense of fairness.

Hey, you don't suppose that was their aim do you?

3. lol just like the sheeple here

he lists things that are half assed done as accomplishments.


sorry, but 60-80% compromise isnt an achievement, and certainly isnt what the left wanted.

[txlibdem]

4. damn right

When did we elect a 60% Republicon majority? Uh... We didn't.

[AlinPA]

5. John King is the bottom of the barrel in political commentary.

[A wise Man]

6. Well Well Well....

Let's see now...Bush was in office for 8 yrs. In those 8 years we had 4 plans attack this country killing thousands of people and no investigation, we also had a hurricane that almost destroyed a city that levee's claim to have giving away...he engaged this country in 2 wars...he thought weapons of mass distruction was funny....he allowed gas prices to esculate wayyyyyy above comsumers ability to pay for it......he had the most corrupt administration in the history of this country.....he signed every bill the republican majority sent him to hurt the working class.....unemployment sky rocketed....oh i'm sorry i'm running out of space. So let's blame Obama for a trash can full of shit that 8yr. Bush left us and discredit Obama for 2 years. Go America media

[Furiousliberal]

10. Well spoken.

[Jack Rabbit]

8. Since when was John King the spokesman of the "professional left"?

??

[Leontius]

9. Until the various ' patriot acts' are repealed this administration is

a failure and with their expansion in domestic spying I don't see that ever happening. Not the 'Hope and Change' I was looking for.

12. More like a "Look what corporate power has intimidated Democrats into giving up!"

Look what the many right wing PR organizations and generous corporate campaign contributions (bribes) have managed to push off the table.

Look what our conservative media echoing the right wing PR machinery has prevented the millions who voted for the Party of FDR after the Bush Crash from getting.

All Hail Corporate Power !!

13. I tend to agree....

We are talking about less than half a term in office. We are also talking about an opposition party that has dug their heels in to stop him at every turn. This isn't your typical "we have the majority" Congress. This is a time where we actually have adversaries in Congress.

I know his achievements have been less than what we wanted. But I also know that it's a beginning, and if we want more, we can work for it.

You have to admit....these are some pretty big accomplishments.

I think the repukkkes are going to kick our asses good if we don't concentrate on forward progress...and we start eating our own. Is that what you want?
