About that Obama Record 0

Annette John-Hall delivers a does of reality:

Still, what makes me most tired these days is having to listen to the constant bickering and anger – from Congress, pundits, and everyday people who’d rather rage than resolve.

Death to Obamacare! they shout.

Tell that to the parents who can keep their kids on their health-insurance policies until they’re 27 – a relief for me and my twentysomething daughter, who’s working but doesn’t have insurance. Or the millions of people who’ve stood in line for hours to get medical care at traveling clinics throughout the country, most of whom work but can’t afford insurance.

He’s antibusiness! the white collars whine.

Tell that to GM and Chrysler and their workers, rescued by government intervention.

He’s anti-middle class. Can’t identify with regular folk.

Tell that to the credit-card companies and overdraft sharks whose game of gouging people like you and me has been quashed. Or tell it to the already cash-strapped parents and their college-student children who see a president who pushed through school-loan reform.

And for his effort?

He’s “the worst president in history,” says Republican congressional candidate Ben Quayle, spawn of former stellar VP Dan Quayle. You know, most remembered for adding the letter e to the end of potato.

The sad fact is that for all the good Obama’s done, he’s been lambasted for everything and not given credit for anything.

An endless cycle of negativity on the hamster wheel.

John Cole adds some perspective.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
