not so fast....

written in the New York Observer, this past week, and cited on Rasmussen(a pro-GOP polling concern)
website, was an interesting piece, quoted below:

....If scored strictly by his legislative attainments, Obama is a highly effective president. In fact, the scrupulously nonpartisan Congressional Quarterly rated him the most effective president of the past five decades, as measured by congressional votes on which he took a position, either yea or nay. When he enunciated a clear position in the House and Senate, his success rate was 96.7 percent -- a number that surpassed the previous records held by Lyndon Baines Johnson and Dwight Eisenhower.


If scored by his campaign promises, Obama also wins high marks. That judgment also comes from a respected nonpartisan source, the Pulitzer Prize-winning political website known as Politifact.com.


Tracking in detail the progress of 500 policy pledges made during the 2008 campaign, Politifact has assembled an "Obameter" that rates each promise as kept, broken, compromised or "in the works." Their finding is that he has made good on 91 promises so far and broken only 14; 275 are in the works, meaning that he is seeking to fulfill them, and 87 are stalled, which indicates little progress. For a president who has yet to complete his first year, those are not only decent ratings but a strong indication of good faith.


the article goes on to state that, historically, this bodes well for the long-term of the Obama presidency.
(got this while fact checking my polling data for Ruggie....sucks that major news outlets didn't bother
to exit-poll in Mass, have to rely on premium membership in private poll sites).

And most of it is not good!

Hussein is quite the joke.
His me me me speech tonight will no doubt anger more than it appeases.

nice of you to stop by, dawg. Now run along to the pube, you're late for the daily circle jerk.

Dang, slick, I didn't think you wore jealous so well.
Care to stay on topic?

I did, elsewhere, but you've continued to duck the question. Don't worry, the public seems(as noted in the bipartisan poll above)to know that Obama isn't the problem(at all). I'd love, however, to see him come out and tell Congress that they can all kiss his ass, and that, with any luck, most of the 535 elected representatives listening won't be back to catch next year's speech. I doubt, highly, that he will do so, and he, probably,will continue to attempt to work with that collection of self-serving dolts. Good to see that the public is awakening, albeit mighty late to the game, that it might not be a Dem or Repub thing that's gone awry. It's arrogance, greed and a political system that's lost sight of that 'we the People' bit......
