As a rabid Obama supporter, my issue with the Dems and what I don't understand is, why with such an outstanding record, did so many Democratic candidates run away from Obama. Perhaps if they had hopped on the bandwagon of his accomplishments, the result of the recent election might have been different.

I ask the same question, maybe my expectations were too high, a great communicator (hopefully the Democratic Reagan), but never fully realized so the party ran and hid. I suspect the battlefield was in too many red states, but Shaheen in New Hampshire touted Obamacare and she won against a tough opponent.

On Thai Visa there are still guys who still believe his birth certificate is fake. The GOP was once the party of Eisenhower, now its mostly dominated by nut jobs.

So you think he earned his position of "Fed up with President Obama:?? I would ask you and others that think the same to take a look at [...]
Frankly, I'd rather not. In case you've missed my point, this was it as far as the Obama Presidency is concerned. At least for me. I'll leave debating his legacy to others, my eyes are set on 2016 and the next POTUS. Here's hoping (s)he will be less of a complete and utter failure. You could make impressive lists of accomplishments such as yours for all the presidents the United States have ever had. As long as you don't include a detailed overview of what they had promised, what they've achieved, what they've botched and what they've completely "forgotten" about, it's pretty much worthless. Just my opinion, obviously.

With all respect, I don't think that is true - and I'm not even taking into account the hostility to his presidency demonstrated by the Tea Party controlled Republicans.

I like that idea. I'm going to start my list with Millard Fillmore . . .
