Good things Obama has done so far...

MSU

[MSU]

Help me out here. This is serious. I am trying to think of ANYTHING good Obama has done so far. Something actually good for the country. Can anybody suggest anything? Are we close to a top ten list?

He bought his little girls a puppy.

[ozarkgirl]

Seriously, there is a possibility he’s improved relationships with other nations. We, as Americans, have been too arrogant.

[matthew fuller]

He left the country quite a few times- but he came back....

More troops in Afghanistan maybe good?...

Not good.
First of all, it just means more casualties as more American troops are put in the line of fire as sitting ducks by a president who doesn't know how to prosecute a war and sees US soldiers only as pawns for negotiations.

And Afghanistan is everything 0bama and his Democrats tried to portray Iraq as. There is no long-term military solution there. The war in Afghanistan is 'unwinnable.' This isn't to say we are losing the war or are in any danger of it, but simply that there is no possible exit strategy based on permanent victory there.

Afghanistan is the Wild Wild West. It is ungovernable. No one wants to live there except for outlaws. There are no natural resources except for poppies. It is landlocked with no major sources of water. It is inhospitable. This is the reason why outlaws and terrorists make it their home when no other country will take them.

That is why outlaws will always rule Afghanistan. A country where legitimate people will not live cannot have a legitimate government made up of legitimate individuals. The US will never be able to extract itself by setting up a legitimate, functional, non-corrupt government there. The only solution involving a military presence is one where we are there indefinitely, with US soldiers playing the role of cops. That's not an exit strategy.

Instead, we need to leave Afghanistan, and destroy what little infrastructure it has, torch all the poppy fields, and level the camps there.
We can do this from 10,000 feet. And we will need to do it once every decade or so, to prevent the likes of Al Qaeda and the Taliban from reconstituting and rebuilding too much.

Yes, it was a success, thanks to the skill of our Navy. It was handled like Jimmy Carter at the executive level, however.

He has done a couple of good things.

I have been keeping a list!

Let's see...

first, he put 5 millionaires on his cabinet....

well, that doesn't really help. no. ummmm

OK, I've got it!

He wouldn't allow a video of his second oath of office.

Naaahh...

Here is one

He cancelled 77 drilling leases near Utah parks!

nope. (what am I thinking?)

He ahhhh...um...

shut the Republicans out of the stimulus package deliberations!

achh, I'll get one yet...

He attacked Rush Limbaugh and Rush's ratings went through the roof!

SEE!! There is one after all.

Zip. Zilch. Nada. Niks.

Okay not good then, good points...wasn’t sure that’s why I said “maybe” and “?”.

Yeah but it was a pedigree dog Ted “The Lifeguard” Kennedy bought from a breeder. How appropriate that it was a Portugese WATER dog (Mary Jo would get a chuckle out of that). Couldn’t have the mutt presbo consorting with just any old mutt.

Too bad the humanitarian presbo didn’t go ahead and get the rescue dog he at one time indicated he would.

Guess that one is a wash!

Sorry — but not as sorry as the would-be rescue critter that took a hit of sodium pentabarbitone because presbo never showed up at the shelter.

I was just thinking today that maybe all the hype over the Bird Flu pandemic that is to sweep the US and cause untold deaths was just hyped up so that Obama can say that due to his quick thinking and superhuman god-like actions, he saved all of us from sure death and extinction.

Yep, I travel the world over and see that we Americans are perceived as being arrogant.

“Seriously, there is a possibility he’s improved relationships with other nations. We, as Americans, have been too arrogant.”

You’ve got to be kidding!

[dirtymac]

“Yep, I travel the world over and see that we Americans are perceived as being arrogant.”

What you saw was the effect of a socialist worldwide media continual attack on the US. The same as we have seen in this country.

So making everyone like us is more important than-—God, never mind. If this needs to be explained to you, you need to redo your education or apply for membership at Democrats Underground.

Search images, Obama President Humor.

He has given us stuff to laugh at.

Kidding about what? Traveling the world over? Oh yes, I've hardly been out of these Ozarks but the other, that we're perceived as being arrogant? Not kidding there, I actually believe that.
