Reply #16: seems to me that everyone from the media to the left have done nothing but.

They demand he do this or that. Attend to their personal agendas. The pundits and the newspapers and cable empty heads all bloviate about how he is doing this or that or both wrong and they know personally that is not what the people want - or do want.
The left has been having hissy fits since day one because the president is not addressing their personal issue and doing it overnight.
And all he has gotten is dumped on and accused of all kinds of bad things - and we have not even gotten to the rightwing.

On top of that he has been tasked with the most desperate condition this country has been in.
FDR has a depression but, not foreign policy promblems until the end of the second term - beginning of the thrid.
Lincoln had a war.
Obama has both. And the world spinning out of control, crisis every week, everything falling apart and all government agencies gutted from the inside, an ecomony going into depression with the debt at record levels - all before he even got sworn in.

And yet, we have heard nothing but demands, foot stomping and accusations, as well as calls of him being an abject failure - after he passed health care and saved us from that depression.

What he never has gotten from the press, from the left is credit for a damn thing.
