MADISON, Wis. (Reuters) - A year after his historic election, President Barack Obama sought to remind Americans on Wednesday the biggest problems he is grappling with -- from the economy to the war in Afghanistan -- are the legacy of his predecessor, George W. Bush. With his approval ratings down from once-lofty levels and Tuesday's Democratic election losses raising questions about his political clout, Obama held no special ceremony to mark the anniversary of his election as America's first black president.

He is probably very frustrated and (I predict) he will get burned out rather quickly. By the three year point, a lot of his enthusiasm and charisma may disappear along with his youthful appearance.

From your lips to God's ear. Let his days be few and let another take his office (Psalms 109:8). If stress is what it takes, stress him good.

Off topic but great image. You can make the hands rotate left, rotate right, or oscillate depending on how you look at it.

The blame Bush mantra isn’t working any more. If anyone is to blame it’s Zerobama and the demoncRats, plus the idiots who voted for him

Hey Obama, try dealing with a 9/11 within 9 months of your presidency, you whiner. You would hide under your desk for a year.

Within 9 month you say? How about within 7 month?

Obama makes Jimmah Carter look good.That’s BAD!
