What exactly has Obama been busy at? Attacking Fox News? Not making a decision on troop levels in Afghanistan? Not closing Gitmo? Not doing anything for energy independence? Not lowering the decifit? Not doing anything about the imploding value of the dollar?

But seriously, what exactly has he accomplished other than the sham of the Nobel Peace Prize?

He's the President of the United States. On his own merits. His daddy didn't buy him the office. All while doing so as a black man in America. More than you'll ever do in your entire sorry life.

I have to somewhat feel sorry for Obama, he had no trouble selling his ajenda to the American people in the election of 2008, but now Obama has to contend with the GOP lockstep
opposition that sucks all logic out of the debates.

Obama is trying to build consensus regarding overdue reforms, and that is proving impossible given the GOP tyranny of the minority.

If someone like McCain had been elected, we would probably be facing 25% unemployment yet the GOP version is that it is Obama wrecking the economy. Gradually Obama reforms will get passed despite GOP opposition, and if the general public likes them, it will be the end of GOP chances in 11/2010. With only 20% of Americans willing to identify themselves as Republicans, a recent new low, the American people are very likely to soon really tire of the GOP as the party of NYET.

Obama can't get even his own party on board with his reforms, why would the GOP support it?

and what tyranny of the minority? the republicans aren't filibustering anything and Obama should have the votes to override a filibuster regardless.

I wouldn't necessarily say "on his own merits" when the democrats could have run Stalin for president in '08 and he'd have won as long as he had a D by his name.

WTF are you talking about lol. The Dems, if they all got on the same page, could do pretty much anything they wanted right now. Ive said it before...the GOP right now is like having a gimp in a wheelchair on the sidelines of a basketball game. The worst they could do is bitch and moan, and really have no power to speak of. Dont blame the R's for the D's lack of cohesiveness.

You are confusing the Legislative and Executive branches. You should go read that Constitution you claim is so dear to you.
