Al, > So if obama had started two wars, doubled the national debt, presided over a housing collapse and a financial meltdown, enacted another social program without paying for it you would refer to him as mediocre? Right! LOL, Obama is already half way there. One war started. National debt skyrocketing by over a trillion a year. Housing still shaky. Inflation fears abound. ObamaCare without paying for it The question is why YOU haven't referred to his agenda as "mediocre" or worse. Maybe because he's on "your side" ... Tenchusatsu

So if obama had started two wars, doubled the national debt, presided over a housing collapse and a financial meltdown, enacted another social program without paying for it you would refer to him as mediocre? Right! It is an awfully simplistic premise you present, however, Obama has started one war, more than doubled the national debt, WILL more than double the national debt if he happens to get reelected, and has enacted a far bigger social program than Part D without paying for it. As to the "housing collapse", I'm not quite sure how one blames anyone other than Clinton & Carter for it, but at least Bush did something to reverse its effects. Obama, OTOH, just stood back and threw money at it. Had Obama so chosen, instead of wasting that trillion dollars, he could have made us energy independent within his first four year term, and guaranteed his reelection. Yet, he chose instead to pay off every conceivable constituency for putting him in office.
