"President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev agreed on Friday to sharp cuts in the nuclear arsenals of both nations in the most comprehensive arms control treaty in two decades."

The Start treaty needed to be renewed.  They could have eliminated nuclear weapons entirely as they are completely useless.

China and Russia are now on board with a boycott of Iran.

Theses sanctions are water-downed and  toothless.  Iran is continuing along the nuclear weapons track according to most sources.  If Iran does not change its current track there will be war.  The point of sanctions is to change behavior.  They haven't so it is irrelevant.

Banks have been cut out of the student loan business.

Yes, but they received huge money from the Obama government.  Just taking from one pocket and putting it in the other.

HCR  which regardless if some people think it went to far or not far enough  is a HUGE accomplishment .. it can improve with time just like medicare and social security did.

HCR doesn't actually cover any new people for 4 years.  Much can happen in that time.  Further, a single payer plan would cover everyone immediately and reduce costs dramatically.

and little things  like lifting the ban on stem cell research

Can't argue there.

reversing the ban on funding to clinics in the 3rd world that mention abortions.. Yes MENTION  if abortion was even mentioned  under the bush rules  the clinic would lose their funding

Can't argue there.

rebuilding the public education system

Hasn't happened yet.

Engaging in the Muslim world

Still have a few hundred thousand troops occupying 2 Muslim countries with anticipation that we might occupy 2 more. Bush with a smile.

The world loves this guy he has done wonders for our standing in the world.

Anybody was better than Bush.

Tanks are on trucks in convoys and rolling out of Iraq as I type..the draw down has begun.

Yes, they are now headed for Afghanistan.

Obama was dropped into the worst economic crisis since the great depression  and two wars..

Something that Republicans in the White House and Democrats in the Congress presided over.  The Fed is the culprit and Obama reappointed Bernanke and made Geitner, also culpable Treasury Secretary.  No points there.

He has not done that bad in his first year.. hes not as liberal as I would like  but when I think of the alternative McCain / Palin  I cringe.

Can't argue there.

The main thing Obama is doing slowly but surely is giving America back to the middle class.  The end of the Reagan era has begun.

Actually the middle class would be saying they are being pushed down to the lower class.  With a jobless recovery we will have two classes.  Those who are rich and those who are poor.

People that claim there is no difference between conservatives and Democrats .. just arent paying attention.

Actually, I think it is Republicans and Democrats.  You know apples to apples sort of thing.  As a green, they are both purple, just one a little bluer than the other.

Now, what he hasn't done, yet.

Covered all Americans with the same insurance coverage as federal workers.  Ended the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Closed Guantanamo.  Leveraged his new relations with Muslims to make peace.  Passed a carbon tax(Thankfully).  Created jobs.  Balanced the budget.  Funded NASA as promised in August 2008.  Ended discrimination against gays in the military.  Passed the card check act for unions.

Another words,  he has completely ignored the people that got him elected.  Instead he has given 2 Trillion to the banks.  He begrudgingly bailed out GM, instead of reinventing it and making it stronger.  He has invested a fraction of the stimulus money in infrastructure, the real job creator.  He has employed lobbyists in the white house.  And the list of "Republicanesque" actions can go on.

As a progressive environmentalist I haven't seen any substantive change.  Just Bush with a smile.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
