   Whoever thinks that Obama has done nothing since his presidency doesn't know a damn thing about politics and what is going on in the government. The only reason it seems as if Obama has done nothing since his presidency is because crazy people with no sense of reality or practicality expected him to turn the nation around one month after winning the presidency. Guys, the president can't just say what he wants to happen and it happens--its a process, others must approve (Congress)--this isn't a monarchy. Don't blame the president for your getting caught up in the hype and expecting of him things that NO ONE would be able to accomplish in the amount of time Obama has so far been president. Relax!!

   Lorelei Shark:
   
   I am deeply saddened that you feel that way about me. However, it would be appropriate for you to explain to me why I am ignorant and ungrateful instead of just refusing to listen to reality and making a harsh judgement based on your naive loyalty to a politician.

   Hellion - you are an ignorant, ungrateful idiot and this site is as ignorant as you are for choosing your caption. Thank you Maddie for being a voice of sanity and truth.

   Maddie:
   
   I am not Republican nor am I a Democrat. I am an American and I tell it like it is.
   
   Some of your points are good but most of your list is just that stuff that comes out of a bull's ass.
   
   Shall I critique:
   
   
   4. Reduced the rate of foreclosures inherited from the Bush administration.
   (The foreclosure rate may be down slightly but the value of properties continues to plummet - I don't see that as a fix).
   
   13. Engaged the Muslim world in a dialogue, beginning with his unprecedented speech in Cairo, followed by an interview with Al Arabiya, and face-to-face discussions with Iran, a total reversal of the Bush years of Muslim baiting and hate.
   (Come on! So your saying that his speech magically made the Muslim world like us? - Obama also has let Iran start it's nuclear program back up so when a home made nuke goes off in a town near you I hope that we can take solice in the fact that we are now nicer to Iran).
   
   16. Brought the White House online, doing for the White H

   Boooooo! Here is just a little bit what Obama has done:
   1. Significantly, he buried the Imperial Presidency of George Bush and restored the Constitutional balance of government by respecting the equal standing of the legislative branch of government. As a former constitutional law professor, this is a major matter of change of tone and style that he promised during the campaign, and he has delivered. (Not pretty or necessarily effective given the Reid-less leadership in the Senate, but we are a constitutional democracy.)
   
   2. Passed and signed the stimulus package, the biggest piece of legislation--ever--in blinding speed, thus being able to start to stabilize the economy, with GDP now projected to grow at the rate of 3 percent by the end of the year. Check the comeback of your 401K since Obama has taken over.
   
   3. Stabilized the top 20 banks without federalizing them.
   
   4. Reduced the rate of foreclosures inherited from the Bush administration.
   
   5. Signed the Lilly Ledbetter

   I am so thrilled to finally win a caption contest! I want to thank my mother, my baby, my baby's mother and my mother's baby! I would also like to thank myself for being such a great person. I couldn't have won this without myself!
