The article seemed pretty even handed to me. It is because it didn't paint the president as a unicorn factory? Oh that PITA meter...

I'm on Obama supporter and unless the liquor is screwing with my head, that was a very well reasoned article. No overwhelming BS bashing or praising.

I must have missed something. Exactly where did Obama say he'd have the wars, the economy, healthcare, education, etc resolved in a little more than 9 months?

Maybe it had something to do with this paragraph

"Where change has come, it has been incremental, not the stuff of a glorious presidential legacy."

At the risk of "B-b-but Bush"ing, I think heath care might be a bit harder to slip under people noses that the patriot act, given the circumstances. Maybe if it was called the America is Awesome act, and we were fighting sentient bacteria, it would work better.

and if we had been actually attacked by a virus.

Or, just start a War on The Uninsured, just like the War on Drugs.

/and probably just as successful

It has nothing to do with how patriotic the name is. The Patriot Act wasn't going to reform an inefficient system that would deny major corporations billions and billions of dollars for major corporations. The Health Care act (if it has any teeth) will.

Mystery solved.

Be fair the 'Patriot Act' was crammed down our throat before we knew what was in it - one of the reasons that the current administration promised transparency. The Democrats are likely to pass a version of the health care bill, which is a watered-down pile of despicable trash. Granted, a watered-down pile of despicable trash is still going to be better than the current system, but hopes for exponential (and not incremental) gain were probably unrealistic.

I still support Obama - he has been far from perfect but I admire how much he is trying to accomplish. I halfway worry that it is a Don Quixote thing to try to change how Washington works, though - several of our last presidents ran on platforms of bipartisan cooperation and reformation, only to leave things the same or worse when they left.

As someone who knew rainbows and unicorns weren't possible, I don't see what the big deal is.

I wasn't well wishing, it was a was a warning.

Now Obama's unicorn cavalry will destroy us all with their rainbow rifles.

PITA is bullshiat. It's usually set by the modmin who greens the submission not the submitter. And it's still bullshiat.

Rainbows are soft... they're made of mist. Easy to make too.

FTFY

/ that I actually think that, but it would have made a better troll if conservative fishin.

When you endlessly go on about CHANGE in your election campaign, make it part of your slogan and endlessly go on about it in speeches , people tend to take that as meaning that he will go all out to make big changes as soon as he's in power, not that there may be a subtle shift in policy that may become evident in a few years.

Obama hasn't changed anything since he's gotten into office. Also, he keeps trying to ram all these changes down our throats. Truly he's a menace to the American way of life.

That's what Barbie said about math. And as a previous Obama supporter, it appears his mental faculties are on about Barbie's level.

TRAITOR!!!

Honestly, Obama has been such a change from Bush that if we didn't mostly want it we'd be suffering from a kind of national whiplash. In politics, this is known as a big change. Ask the rest of the world.

To me, change represents a re-introduction of competency and pragmatism into our political sphere. The Last Occupant pursued a littany of horrible policies at the expense of my nation. America became a dirty word overseas and I was used to my country making poor decisions one after another.

Perhaps Obama didn't bring a big enough of a broom to the White House but whose fault is that really?

He brought a mop maybe that was his problem.
