I’ve complained a lot about the obstructionists in Congress who have blocked Obama’s attempts to get our economy moving with Job Acts. But then I came across this list of accomplishments that can be fairly attributed to President Obama’s Administration! Wow–this man has gotten it done. Here’s the list

Okay Gerry, stop confusing me with the facts. Besides, you did not give a balance picture, how about his failures?

Ha! Jose you make me laugh:-) The first failure I think of when it comes to President Obama is his insistent belief that members of the GOP will compromise on anything! But in turth I am disaapointed in the lack of solar development under his administration….a blunder the US continues to make, and he’d promised us for so much more in this regard. Both parties are deeply indebted to those who frack for gas and oil. This is a bad thing- Franque

So another of his failings is that he is NAIVE and that has been shown to be a very dangerous quality when dealing with people who have no ethics.

Ha!! yes indeed- he has accomplished much in the face of so much he must be dangerous….and a failure at something else-and none of this is because he is darker than white.
