My memory is I asked for accomplishments. Wasn't he recently elected president of the United States? Didn't he get a big stimulus bill passed? Didn't he get a Puerto Rican woman appointed to the Supreme Court. Did I imagine these? Shouldn't you get a subscription to the new York Times?

My memory is I asked for accomplishments. Wow - he can read and write - that is simply an amazing feat! I am so impressed. Those are simply amazing feats in this day and age! LOL - absolutely amazing. It is certainly an amazing feat when you compare that to his predecessor. He demonstrated his thinking in the books he has authored. Did George W., the darling of 5 Supreme Court justices but not of the majority of the American people do so? And on and on. Talk to me about any problem he has solved. He knows when to keep out and leave it to experts aka the Somali pirate issue. He also steered the issue of having a "axis of evil" country release the two US journalists. He did so by using the power of his diplomacy and not the power of his military. He prioritized the stability of the banking system (stress test) to ensure that credit starts to flow again. All this in the short time of seven months. And what he has yet to accomplish is wealth redistribution so that Joe the Plumber does not merely talk about getting a plumbing license and owning a business as he did under the previous Administration but that he can really go and do it with the opportunities created through wealth redistribution.
