Failure to hire people Qualified to do their job.

Failure to stop the economic slide into the abyss.

Well, if you believe that the financial mess started on Clinton's watch
(repeal of Glass-Stegal Act in 1999), I don't remember you complaining
that Bush, who had EIGHT YEARS to correct the problem, did nothing in
those EIGHT YEARS. Yet you complain that Obama has not fixed this
horrendous inherited mess in a mere 20 months.

Failure to stop Iran from producing nuclear fissile material

And Obama (or McCain) would do this how without starting WW III at worst
or an unwinnable trillion dollar war #3 at best. Your solution, please.

Failure to stop N. Korea from threatening it's neighbors.

And Obama (or McCain) would do this how without starting WW III at worst
or an unwinnable trillion dollar war #4 at best. Your solution, please.

Failure to bring *all* the troops home.

Please, be fair. He at least brought a large number of troops home, not
a bad accomplishment considering the no-win corner Bush painted us into.
Please tell us what McCain (or you) would do.

Failure to end the Patriot act.

I agree that this should be ended -- but was it a campaign promise of
Obama's?

Failure to create an effective energy plan.

Again, no overnight solution, but it seems this Administration is
encouraging electric vehicle technology. You just can't knock out the
very powerful 100 year old petroleum industry in 20 months.

Failure to drill for American Oil.

Huh? We -are- drilling in the Gulf, in American territorial waters. You
complain if he does nothing and then you blame him for the Gulf oil
spill. Sorry, you can't have it both ways.

Failure to make coal cleaner.

1)Was this his campaign promise?
2)Is he a chemist?
3)Coal can be made cleaner, but at quite an expense. YOU are willing to
pay a lot more for your electricity, right?

Failure to get a dog from the pound.

Yeah, and he doesn't get his clothes at the Salvation Army either. So what?

Failure to create Bipartisanship in the USA

He's tried a hell of a lot harder than the Repubs, the party of "No" (or
'hell, no').

Failure to get the Olympics for Chicago

He is the -president- of the U.S., not the leader of the Olympic
Committee. He gave a LOT of support, but he doesn't have a vote with the
Olympic Committee. So, he (or McCain) could have done what differently?

Failure to act decisively on the war in Afghanistan.

Please tell us how ANYONE, including McCain, can do any better. Thanks
to W, it is a NO-WIN situation in Afghanistan. Ask the Russians...or
Genghis Khan why they didn't win in Afghanistan. And then thank Bush for
being stupid enough to get us into those messes.

Failure to keep the promise of no more than 8% unemployment, it's
10%

10%? Even a bit higher in certain states. Again, Obama INHERITED this
avalanche rolling down the mountain from Bush. Please tell us what
McCain (or you) would do to solve the biggest financial mess since the
1930s.

Failure to keep the terrorists out, and keep the USA safe.

Huh? Other than the failed "underwear bomber" in Detroit, what terrorist
attacks have there been? What could Obama (or McCain) have done about
the underwear guy?

Also, the point of the Patriot Act is to counter the terrorists, and
yet, above, you were bitching because Obama didn't get rid of the
Patriot Act. You can't have it both ways. Make up your mind.

Failure to continue maned Space exploration as promised.

Um, maybe that is because there is now no money left over for space
exploration due to Bush's Great Depression -- that Obama INHERITED.

Failure to tell us he was Lying just to get elected.

Like no other politician ever lied before? I'm shocked...shocked, I say.

BMu Scotty, you are just shotgunning a lot of blather that is
contradictory and in many cases, illogical. Sadly, IMHO it just makes
you look like a not very well educated racial bigot... :-(
