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.

:eyes:

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!

tsk

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.

27. I still blame Bush...
I just want Obama to do something to clean the Bush mess up and to stop doing what Bush did.
End the wars..bring the troops home now.

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...
Edited on Fri Jan-01-10 09:22 AM by Clio the Leo
... 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.......
