    In only a year, President Obama has stabilized the economic situation, implemented a national broadband policy, made a solid appointment to the Supreme Court, reestablished American prestige internationally, set a strategy for Afghanistan and developed an initial international consensus on global warming - and he soon will be offering millions of previously uninsured Americans access to health coverage.

    You, much like the one you are often accused of being, have a severe problem with reading comprehension. I never said that the Nobel award was "credible," in fact I parenthetically mentioned that such an award was at least premature. I can suggest several good remedial reading instructors if you would like to address this flaw in your abilities.

    Apparently you don't know anything about American politics either because there is no way that anyone with a functioning brain could see the Nobel award as having been "partisan" in the context we use to describe our political process. The Democrats in America have ZERO control over who gets a Nobel prize.

    I agree with you about the Nobel Peace Prize, BTW. If they can give that thing to Kissinger or Arafat, something smells fishy in Denmark.

    You are delusional if you think that Obama has less credibility internationally than our last president. You are similarly deranged if you actually think that he is not respected by world leaders. The people who don't respect him are the teabagging Fauxbots who wouldn't respect him if he was the second coming of Jesus just because of the (D) behind his name on C-SPAN.

    A failure that was applauded by conservatives in America who apparently think it is just peachy to root against America, or at least any of America's presidents with a (D) behind their name on C-SPAN.

    You have a strange definition of failure. They made some agreements and committed (as much as a president can without Congressional approval) to more carbon reductions than a president had before.

    So, now "failure" includes not interfering in another soverign nation's elections. In addition, it apparently includes not invading Iran over a contested election.

    MojoMan = Delusional

    You certainly had high expectations of Obama, much higher than any Democrat that I know. I dearly wish you had held our last president up to the same standard, we might not have flushed a trillion dollars down the toilet over nonexistent WMDs.

    I really wish you would. Your tenuous hold on reality seems to be slipping.

    Link, evidence, anything concrete that didn't come out of a Faux "News" host?

    The system didn't work at all (loved John Stewart's take on this issue from Monday night), but blaming Obama for that failure would be like blaming Bush for the Shoe Bomber. Actually, it would have been more outrageous since the security that the "panty bomber" (I like that one :) ) was able to go through was in Amsterdam, not America, which doesn't matter since you aren't interested in accuracy or facts anyway.

    First, when has the administration encouraged or promoted political correctness?

    Second, how in God's name does political correctness put us in danger?

    Third, do you think about anything before you type or is it entirely garbage that you are regurgitating from Faux and Drudge?

    I know stoners who have a better grasp of reality than you seem to.

    Maybe Reid and Pelosi didn't understand him because he was speaking in one of those infernal Negro dialects?

    I'm surprised no one posted the John Stewart (Daily Show) clip on the C-Span question. It was pretty funny.

    I referred to it in my post to MM, but didn't put forth the effort to actually post it. Last week was my first time back to work since before XMas, so I was just too swamped to do it.
