    In 2009 he went around the liberal congress and signed into law that we can carry loaded guns in national forest. With Obamacare students can stay on their parents health insurance until 26.

    He's busy throwing state dinners every week and promising more American jobs to India and Asia like he did in October when he visited there then comes back pretending he gives a dam about Americans getting work. That's who he is in a nutshell. Oh and catering to insurance companies by forcing Americans to purchase pricey policies with much less coverage in them or else.

    Responded to Democracy breaking out in Egypt, Republicans give Reagan credit for the end of the Soviet Union (when he wasn't in office, lol!) so I'm assuming they'll give Obama credit for this.

    Cancelled Bush's idiotic Polish missiles.

    Won a nobel prize.

    Lowered the deficit by 125 billion dollars (2010, which was his FIRST budget, not 2009 which was Bush's)

    Putting, dribbling, and figuring out ways to destroy the foundations of the nation. He has attempted to take most of the private sector economy and put it under the control of the government (auto industry, energy industry, health-care industry, banking industry, etc.). He has made enemies of most of our former allies. He has managed to make this nation a laughing stock in the international community. Before he is done, he will have managed to oversee most of the middle east turning into nations led by radical isalamists (probably his goal all along). In short, he has made a mess out of everything he has touched.

    I wish he would spend the last 23 months of his term putting and dribbling. That way he can't do as much damage.

    You see the sort of intelligent answers you get when you ask others to do your homework?

    Looks like you got about 2 actual facts and dozens of uneducated opinions to me.

    Hope they help you not look like an uneducated idiot in class.
