I've always thought the Nobel Peace Prize was a crock anyway. I mean, the award was invented by the guy who gave us dynamite cause he felt bad for the all the violence that brought. I could seriously care less who gets that specific award.

"He said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, 'we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.

there's his whole back of bus thing.

Which is already spun poorly by just saying its a "back of the bus" dealio.

In the context he already gives, it's completely reasonable. He associates Republicans with special interest groups which are not in tune with "middle class families". He still wants to work with them, but they're going to be in the back of the car because he wants the one to sit right up next to him, in the only seat available, to be the middle class families.

Anybody spinning that negatively for being BACK OF DA BUS is just pulling some obnoxious fox news esque fear mongering aimed at the dull minded and impressionable

Oh you see, Obama's done plenty since he's been in office. I'm just not seeing how any of it really helped the economic recovery. The fact that he's still blaming bush is ridiculous. The man knew wha the was signing up for, if he can't get the job done well so be it, at least don't just continually blame your predecessor for it.

It doesn't help that fewer things get through Congress than get through a constipated old man these days.

He basically had free reign the first two years to pass whatever he wanted, IT was mostly all garbage. Look at what happened in the 2010 midterms, it was pretty much GOP domination

So because he did fix the entire **** country in a year and a half the american people said, "Nope. **** you. You're done. No more decision making for you." Come on. That argument is retarded.

But he didn't. Clearly, you and I have a much different definition of "fix." The actual credit he deserves for anything that might have got "fixed" is minimal since Congress has more control over what happens then he does.

The same can be said for some of the things he's "screwed up".

I don't dispute that. Simply put: give credit where credit is due and in the right amount.

Of course, I'm just surprised nobody brought that up yet.
