1. I totally agree!

He has accomplished a hell of a lot in less than two years, just think what he can do in "6 more"!

What we need to do is work at getting rid of those in congress who are not working to help him, the blue dogs come to mind, and replace them with "real" democrats in the primaries. If the tea party morons can do it so can we!

I give him a LOT of credit for what he has done!

I recommended this and see that the trolls have already been "unrecommending ". What a bunch of losers!

4. You got off to a bad start

Order the closing of Guantanamo Bay

Not exactly. He order it be moved to Illinois, not closed. And he hasn't gotten anywhere with that idea either. He might have well ordered it moved to Pluto

Prohibit use of torture

During his administration. The very same guy who thinks an executive order to address DADT is the wrong way, thinks torture can just be another option for any future president.

Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009

Which didn't help many families and didn't save all that many homes.

Appointing Elizabeth Warren as the first-ever consumer advocate

Actually, she's a special advisor to the president. The official office has yet to be filled.
