It's really remarkable how much attention supporters of the Obama administration are giving to Sarah Palin and Republicans, when they can do anything they want by working withing their own party and finding common ground. For the first time in a long time a major political party has super majority status, and most of what you see their supporters doing is complaining about "the other side".

It's been a while since Obama has been elected. What has he accomplished besides spending money out of control on earmarks and special interest groups without even reading the bills? Has he brought the troops home? Has he solved the housing foreclosure problem? Has he reduced unemployment? Has he reduced the debt? Has he improved Health Care? Social Security? Education? poverty? I suppose one could make the case he's taken care of his Wall Street buddies at places like Goldman Sachs, but that's about it.

Has Washington become more open and transparent, or more like the inner sanctum of a Nixonian Presidency? Has he stopped spying on Americans and ended the domestic surveillance program? Has he supported free speech, or moved in the opposite direction with his 'turn in fellow Americans for talking scary about health care' program?

And where are the marching war protesters who claimed moral superiority and labeled Bush the equivalent of Hitler for "invading" Iraq? or Afghanistan?
