Obama has accomplished more legislatively in two years than either Bush in three terms
They haven't accomplished anything noteworthy in a lot longer than that. Obama has done a lot since taking office. 135 of his campaign promises have been kept. That's pretty impressive. What HAS the GnOP done in the last few years?
Talk about crickets...
Congress.org - News : Health care hearing awaitedThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit on Tuesday will hear two cases that challenge the constitutionality of the laws requirement that all Americans have health insurance. Its an important moment. The cases one brought by Virginia and the other by Liberty University in Lynchburg are the first to advance from federal district courts to the appeals level, possibly the last stop before the Supreme Court.

Hitler accomplished a lot in 2 years too. He annexed Czechoslovakia and Austria. He invaded Poland, France and Greece and he bombed Coventry into rubble, and that was all by the end of 1940!
Obama's "accomplishments" are all in a similar vein. The less he "accomplishes" the better.

Most that have a job don't care about a 8% or 9% inflation rate. When it climbs and it will, everyone will care, especially in November 2012. You seem to think we are in a recovery, I know we are not.
I love this denial! The private sector has created well over a million jobs in the past year, with 700,000+ in the last three months alone. The economy has grown in each of the past five quarters. Inflation is still at or below targets. Consumer spending is on a slow rebound.
But of course, that's not a recovery because...well, because conservatives can't allow a recovery. They need gloom and doom in order to win. What's good for America is bad for conservatives.

Notice how I do not quote you out of context. Please afford me the same courtesy.
Are you an investor? I invest in both stocks and real estate. As I stated in my original post, the dollar has been falling. That's why commodities where so high. They have fallen because of a dollar short squeeze. They are going to climb again. The dollar will fall, it has to. The government has printed way too many dollars. Inflation is caused by deficit spending and we have a lot of it. The federal reserve will have to raise interest rates and that is by like throwing the breaks on the economy. Unemployment will increase, a lot.
Housing Has fallen ever since the termination of the first time homeowners credit. In the last six month my business has doubled. Housing is no where near the bottom.
By November 2012, unemployment will be double digits. Gas will be $8.00 per gallon. Silver will be $150 per oz. The Dow will be under 6000. We won't elect Obama to deliver the mail.
I am not saying this entire mess is the Presidents fault. It is the accumulation of government interference in the market for over fifty years. Voters do tend to blame the sitting President when things go wrong. This is not a political issue for me, it is just reality. You cannot fix the economy by creating more debt. All they have done is fix one problem, by creating a bigger one.
Republicans are going to have to convince America that they are miserable. Both Reagan and Bush proved that Americans don't care about deficits. They also proved that the way to get out of an economic crisis is deficit spending
Gas has spiked due to the middle east revolutions. The price of a barrel of oil dropped 15% last week and is back under $100.
Unemployment is trending downward and we are adding 200,000 plus jobs a month. Once again, it comes down to misery. A 7 percent or 8 percent unemployment rate does not matter to people if they, themselves have a job
Gas spiked because investors, like me, buy commodities. We do this because the dollar is falling. Last week when the dollar started a rally-- we sold, causing the price of oil, gold and silver to fall.
Unemployment is currently climbing.
The middle east revolutions are cause by fifty percent unemployment and severe inflation. Food was costing the average family 30% of their take home income. When things get that bad here, we might do the same.

You seem to think we are in a recovery, I know we are not.That's because greedy-pricks like you are an aberration o' the people who built this country; risk-takers who weren't afraid of The Future.
A lotta people wonder how you managed your transition to dry land....

You're an investor?
Gas at 8 bucks a gallon in 2012?
Seriously?
And look where we are: Inflation, high unemployment, high gas prices, massive debt.
I can't imagine why anyone would have wanted Obama to fail [/sarcasm]

I am an investor. Don't you dare preach to me about risk. I take a risk every time I buy a stock and every time I buy a house. The only risk you take is being fired from your mediocre job. I run a business and that's much harder than any job I have ever had.
Will someone please tell me how to put this child on ignore.
After Obama was elected, that was the stated strategy of the GOP. Basically, do everything you could to prevent Obama from acquiring a resume that would lead to his reelection. This included smear campaigns, delays, filibusters and whatever Fox News could spit out.
How has it worked? Well, in the first two years, the Democrats controlled Congress. they were able to pass:
Obamacare
Repeal DADT
Reduce nuclear weapons by one third
Economic Stimulus
Financial Reform
Credit card reform
In addition, Obama did as he promised and redirected the war on terror from Iraq to Afghanistan and Pakistan. Drone attacks are up and the number of terrorist targets eliminated are up substantially
In 2010, the Republicans took control of the House and gloated that they would now be able to block Obama from accomplishing anything in his last two years. How did it work out?
Obama hit a home run in killing Bin laden and now has captured intelligence to mop up Al Qaida operatives. He also begins withdrawals from Afghanistan and Iraq. He correctly positioned the US in a backup role in Libya and has allowed NATO forces to bear the load.
Now the GOP is stuck with no viable candidates for President and must show the voters what the GOP has accomplished in the last four years

You're honestly cheering 9% unemployment?

Frazzledgear said:No President has ever been re-elected to a second term when unemployment has been above 7.5%.
