The accomplishments of President Obama and his allies in Congress over his first six months in office are — depending on whom is asked — either tackling the recession and heralding a new era of progressive reform or bankrupting the nation with unprecedented speed.
Either way, the new administration and congressional Democrats have spent the first half of the year pushing through key elements of Mr. Obama's economic agenda, though the fate of his two biggest priorities, energy and health care reform, still hang very much in the balance.
The $787 billion stimulus bill was on the president's desk within a month of his inauguration. The legislation — the largest single spending measure in the nation's history — included funding for unemployment benefits, food stamps, health care subsidies and aid to states. Democrats, touting the measure as an aggressive response to the recession, hail it as one of many successes so far this session.
"It really has been, from my perspective, a very, very productive first five months, first six months of the year for the Congress of the United States, as productive a first six months as I have participated in in terms of not only bills passing the House but becoming law," House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, said.

Keep your mouth shut, McCain.
Even the dim should feel energy holocost coming their way
Massive Patriot turnout for the 4th of July Teaparties will make a difference in the failure of the Tax&Crap & ObamaHealthcare disasters. Time to raise HEll!!!
Who gives a crap what the “parties” think on how Barry is doing...it will ultimately boil down to how the majority of the American people will think.
Accordingly:
“Obama Approval Index Falls Below Zero”

LOL
McCain hasnt apologized yet for the “tone” of this article
I totally believe that our President is a puppet for some other organization. I think he has been told to shut up and do what he’s told or they will run him out of office. It could be Pelosi and crowd or someone else we don’t know about. If they keep it up, they may see what the people have to say.
I hope that we are all preparing for things to get a bit nuts when Barry’s poll numbers crash. ACORN violence in the streets, oulandish charges of racism, ginning-up of campaigns against “right-wing terror.”. The big Liberal freak-out that’s coming when power starts to slip from their grasp will not be pleasant to watch.
“Too bad we can’t have another election right now to see what Americans really think of how he’s doing. “
I wonder how much it would take to make this happen.
I bet 200,000,000+ peopple marching on the streets would carry a major vote of no confidence.
If we had an election now, Obama would win in a landslide - if you use the mertrics of the polls - while Obama’s numbers are down SLIGHTLY - Rasmussen has him at 55 percent today - Gallup at 60, CNN at 61 - etc, take a look at the polls of THE REPUBLICANS - in the GUTTER... Look at the numbers of people who CALL THEMSELVES REPUBLICANS - lowest percentages since they started keeping track.
BUT - we have the bias of the sampling data, don’t we??
