bosmike: NeWildflower,
Valid point by you, but unfortunately, Obama got the usually dormant college-aged voters to vote for HIM

True, but I still consider it a great thing. Complacency in politics isn't just a "youth thing" but waking people up had to start somewhere. And he did that.

Zeelander: I am serious here... if you would like to Bash Obama that will be the next thread. Right now I would like bullet points on what he has actually done so far.
Also, getting Bush out of office isn't something Obama did, Bush's term limit was up.

bosmike: The HUGE problem that Obama and the Left doesn't understand is that you don't panic and spend like an idiot, to "fix" the financial fallout--especially when in human history has it NEVER WORKED FROM WITHIN A SPECIFIC COUNTRY. (The most glaring example is Japan spending like mad during the DECADE of the 90s to try and "fix" their severe economic crisis, only to realize it didn't work...again.)
I heard that one too. Everyone needs to look at it in their own life. If you spend more than you make..... what happens?
But, lets get back on subject.... what are Obama's accomplishments?

I wouldn't say that really is an accomplishment.... Yes he is black and yes he is president, but he is just as much white and is president. It wasn't his choice or anything he did to be black.

I couldnt agree more with you, he is extremely white washed. However if you ask many other afican americans they consider it a major accomplishment for a black man to be a sitting president.
So I guess his race being a political milestone is questionable as well as opinionated.

Medsummer09: he does have the "green" agenda moving forward which is a positive thing for everyone.
The green agenda is going to be putting thousands out of work in West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio and only creating hundreds of jobs.

Apparently he and his Administration are learning form their errors:
President Barack Obama and his advisers do not favor second stimulus package now to cut the highest U.S. unemployment rate in nearly 26 years, Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview aired on Sunday.
Looking back to January when Obama took office, Biden said: "The truth is, we and everybody else misread the economy ... We misread just how bad the economy was."
"So the second question becomes, did the economic package we put in place, including the Recovery Act, is it the right package given the circumstances we're in? And we believe it is the right package," Biden told ABC's "This Week" in an interview taped during a trip to Iraq.
Asked if another stimulus package was needed, Biden said, "I think it's premature to make that judgment."

I agree he is invested in that at least theoretically. I think he needs to continue to focus on spending, civil liberties, ending the war, education, healthcare, ...lots really..., corporate corruption pulling the strings of our legislators, and he should finally quit smoking once and for all. Horrible industry to support. He has heart though. I can tell he's a thinker even if he gets a little bogged down in politics.

Does affirmative action need to be abolished? If a poor black man can become president, shouldn't all have the same ability?

Zeelander: What has he done for your state with the stimulus bill?
well he has help rebuild the infastruture in nh... up north that bill is building new bridges and dams... in the cental part of my state it is rebuilding our highway system..in the southern part of our state it is building and repairing many roads and bridges that were washed out in the floods from the past 3 years.
it has also saved 20,000 state jobs and has created 30,000 new constuction jobs in our state to the point were unemployment has dropped dramatically and I personally was able to work again... and with 3 children being a single mother work is always a good thing...

I take it you don't smoke? To a smoker (which is still legal) in some cases it is like air to you and me..... should you stop breathing?

NH is the only state where unemployment has dropped then. Maybe we should all move there.

also, state jobs don't produce revenue, just cost tax dollars.
