That's a darned good list of accomplishments you've linked to, GUEST,gillymor. Thank you.

It struck me as I read through the list that these really valuable and desirable accomplishments on President Obama's part are the very reasons that many of the clowns on this and other threads hate his guts!

And beardedbruce's remark of accusation up-thread a bit, "Or is the fact that Obama is 'Black, and a Democrat' enough for you to hold him to lower, or non-existant (sic) standards????" is very revealing of what's foremost in his mind and the minds of many people who hate Obama. Their problem is that Obama is "Black, and a Democrat."

I am not friends with, but I am acquainted with a couple of people (immigrants from one of the Southern states) whose main problem with Obama is that, in their alleged minds, he's an "uppity n****r, and he's in the White House!!" (Snarl, spit, hiss!!).

I—and others—do NOT hold him to a lower standard. I hold him to the same standard that I would hold ANY President, and although I am disappointed that he has not been able to accomplish many things that I wanted him to-—and that he wanted to—I am fully aware that, for the most part, a cold-eyed, pig-headed Republican Congress, hell-bent on obstructing anything and everything he attemptx to do, has prevented him.

Not HIS fault!

P. S. And Goofballupagus follows his usual pattern of not being able to come up with a decent insult of his own, so bereft of creative thought, he has to take those of others, twist them, and throw them back. Dumb!! If there is a rank stench pervading these threads, HE is one of the major sources.
