1. Speaking is great

Needs more doing

[bigdarryl]

15. your UNINFORMED this President as past more Legislation

than Johnson stop watching FIXED NEWS

[Exilednight]

16. "[A]s past"? WTH does that mean? Just because he has passed legislation, it doesn't mean

that it was good legislation. I bet Bush signed more bills than LBJ.

[MrMickeysMom]

27. He's done some good things...

I am pretty sure most agree.

But, what he has done or NOT done puts all of this straight to the circular file of presidency. He did not stand with labor when he said he would, he did not stand up against Wall street (my husband says he never promised that, so I was getting what was promised), and he not only DID NOT stand up for the air we breath, he was worse than Bush by not doing a damn thing about it.

Science is pretty clear about pollution standards. I don't thing we'll have the luxury of standing around arguing about this stuff for much longer.

He said, "Yes We Can", and, you know all those people in DC getting arrested? They are saying, "No you Shouldn't" to the XL tar sands pipeline. All of us who are and will get arrested believed in this guy who is a wonderful orator, but we sure as shit aren't going to put in him back in office.

I'm pretty informed after all, bigdarryl...

31. Like clockwork

Obama criticism and accusations of watching Faux News.

Please, don't insult my intelligence; when I do watch it's purely for laughs.

The truth is that what Obama passed is not as great as you think; sorry to break it to you. Sure, it's a MILLION times better than the alternative; I'll never dispute that, but the healthcare and financial legislation were NOT progressive pieces of legislation and that's a simple fact.

I won't even go into the debt-ceiling raise.

Stop being complacent. Obama could have done more; a LOT more. Yet he continues his center-Democrat, let's-work-together shtick and that has gotten him nothing but progressively lower approval ratings.

He's a typical Democrat: good intentions, well educated, rational, but ultimately soft and ineffective.

He needs to be a raging liberal.

2. Actions...

....speak louder than words....UNREC

[MissDeeds]

5. +1 n/t

[treestar]

6. The bully pulpit

is supposed to be so magical.

[TwilightGardener]

12. He should be silent...but use the bully pulpit...AT THE SAME TIME.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

3. Me, too.

8. Second one today, saying his only achievement was taking office while black.

Wow. Don't need the Right Wing or Limpballs, we got our own right here. Y'all coordinating this talking point, or what?

[CakeGrrl]

11. Yep, and then they have the nerve to freak out

when you point out that they're starting to sound like Tea Partiers.

[TwilightGardener]

13. What's funny is, the howling that Obama supporters "are always bringing race into it"--

And then they say shit like this. What is the point of bringing up his skin color now?

[secondwind]

7. Am disgusted with the posts on this thread. If you think it was so easy, then you should have

run for President. Totally disgusted with my DU friends right now.

[Fearless]

10. It is easy. Easy to say no to the GOP if you want to.

But he won't. And he doesn't want to.

9. There are few words I'd like to hear him speak...Let's start with "No!" to the GOP...

Then silly things like... "single payer"... or "I'm against a COLA adjustment"... hey those would be just dandy.

[ClarkUSA]

17. He has said no on many occasions. Just ask Republicans.

[Fearless]

18. Umm... They will say that until they have everything... I don't listen to Republicans. Thanks.

[ClarkUSA]

19. No, it's a fact. Pres. Obama has threatened to veto legislation more than once, too.

[Fearless]

20. Not the important ones. And he hasn't actually vetoed anything of value.

[ClarkUSA]

22. Says who? You? Moving the goalpost? BTW, I just proved your original claim wrong.

[Fearless]

32. No. I never claimed he had NEVER said no... but that I wanted him to say no.

And says me. He has never vetoed any Republican legislation that has been of value. Prove me wrong. Show me meaningful legislation that he has vetoed because of its Republican values.

[sammytko]

21. Me too!! Thanks

[Jakes Progress]

23. Pretty, pretty words.

That's what got him elected the first time. Maybe words more than action will do it again. We'll see.

[Historic NY]

24. I guess that falls under what will the next POTUS do? ...

you can bet the lilly white congress will fall in line including the Uncle Toms. :scared:

[Skittles]

25. yeah, he gives purty speeches

[lynne]

26. As my mom would say "Actions speak louder than words" -

- so I'm pretty well done with listening and have gone to watching.

[donheld]

28. Quite frankly I'm tired of the talking

The Walk never matches the talk.

[FrenchieCat]

29. Frankly, I'm tired of the Whining.....

The whine never matches the facts!

[Cali_Democrat]

30. He also gives a great speech

One of the best speech-giving Presidents in US history.
