The salient points Maher made, apparently, are here.

Maher then goes on to enumerate real quantifiable Democratic successes.

  • 63 straight months of economic expansion.
  • A depression averted.
  • A deficit reduced by two thirds.
  • A healthcare law that's working and lowering healthcare cost.
  • Two women on the Supreme Court.
  • Bin Laden is dead.
  • Stock Market at record heights
  • Unemployment down from 10.2 to 5.9%.
  • Gas prices are down.
When compared with ANY modern day president these "accomplishments", taken in context, are trival and contrived, and in some cases false.

Well it looks like Obama walks on water when compared to Bush's tenure:

*Started a senseless and costly war in Iraq
*worst recession since WW II
*could not find bin Laden
*Oil prices reached new highs
*increased the deficit after there were surpluses under Clinton
*the unemployment rate increased to over 9%
*job growth was anemic at best
*let NOLA drown
*let Israel bomb the shit out of Lebanon
