4. Spends all his time in Hawai'i, cuttin' jungle with a machete 'cause there's no decent brush to cut |
|
... like there was at the pig farm in Crawford.
Yeah, that's what he's been doin' all right. All those trips out there to that fancy almost-furrin' place. Surfin' when he coulda been falling off a bicycle like a real Murkin.

7. Each night this year he's stayed up partying. |
|
Hasn't sent his kids to school this year at all.
Didn't even bother to plant a garden either.
And, he's sleeping on the job!

18. Important to remember the incredible number of Bush messes Obama has to clean up! |
|
And he has done a LOT of cleaning up, with pretty nasty opposition.
Saying Obama accomplished "nothing" is inaccurate.

9. Those of us who are opposed to the President's sell-out to the health insurance industry ... |
|
Edited on Fri Jan-01-10 07:34 AM by Laelth
... recognize that a lot of other good stuff did get accomplished last year. The stimulus bill was a massive achievement. The nomination and confirmation of Sotomayor as a Supreme Court Justice was a stroke of genius. The Lilly Ledbetter Act was a long-needed change to civil rights law. A number of evil Bush-era executive orders were overturned, and it's nice to have people running the government who actually want to make it work and have no desire to drown it in a bathtub.
On the other hand ...
Transparency has been lacking. Labor continues to suffer (EFCA was destroyed). The Obama Justice Department defends torture and executive secrecy while shielding Bush-era suspects from prosecution. Our military has left neither Iraq nor Afghanistan. Guantanamo Bay remains open. Obama's attempt to help struggling homeowners has actually assisted only 4% of those who need aid. Obama's attempt to reform credit card abuses has been a miserable failure.
Over time it is becoming more clear that Obama's is a "Third Way" Democratic administration that caters to corporate interests and puts the needs of the people second.
So, in sum, it has been a very mixed bag so far, but none of us believes the President has done nothing. That's a straw-man argument.
And, by the way, I recognize the clever use of 2010 in the OP, but I was addressing the underlying premise of the OP, not its literal message.

12. This morning he busted into the GOP Caucus lunch... |

... accompanied by 10 Marines in full-dress uniforms ... and, after an unusually profound speech, finished by saying, "and anyone who has a problem with it can shut the f*ck up!"
(It was his New Year's resolution to be more stern.)
Then I saw Mr. Imadinnajacket driving down my street delivering Red Bull in a wagon pulled a Clydsdale that had been dyed red and could do tricks.
It was at this point I realized it was a dream.......
