The only reason they are coming back end of year is so that this act will stay fresh in your mind when it comes time to vote early next year. Kind of BS that it took so long.

If it was for re-election he would do it sometime next year, mostly likely near the end of the summer. As can be seen with the Bin Laden situation, approval rating bumps only last a few weeks, a month and a half at the most. Any advantage he would get from this in terms of approval rating is going to be gone by next year, probably be gone by the middle of November. People need to think a little more and talk/post a little less. | ||

I guess you should believe your future president, but really there has been zero change. Don't blame it on the Republicans cause we all see how the "Obama's Economy" failed | ||

Sadly Sweden and Norway was in a union in Alfred Nobels time, so the Norwegians are taking care of the peace prizes and so far they've managed to hand out the peace prize to a number of war criminals. Kissinger for one. It's basically a standing joke. I'm not really sure what the criterias are, but there's a lot of fun information at + Show Spoiler + http://powerwall.msnbc.msn.com/politics/the-top-10-most-controversial-nobel-peace-prize-winners-9164.gallery?photoId=35628#!wallState=0__%2Fpolitics%2Fthe-top-10-most-controversial-nobel-peace-prize-winners-9164.gallery%3FphotoId%3D45818 I think they had hopes of him making the US a more peaceful country, and went 'close enough!' ^_^ | ||

What has he accomplished? Here's a whole fucking website dedicated to listing all the stuff he's done. http://whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com/ If cussing is too much for you, here's a PG version http://whattheheckhasobamadonesofar.com/?q=31 Is Obama the President we were promised and hoped for? No. Did he end up fundamentally changing how the government worked like he promised? No, he fell way short of that But has he accomplished much during his first term? Yes (Healthcare reform which has been pushed for since the 60s, Bin Laden, Trying to regulate corruption in business via the Dodd-Frank Act (Which is currently being gutted by repubs), Ending the war in Iraq) Do I think he has been a better President than McCain with Palin as his VP would have been? Hell to the fucking yes. Anyone willing to argue this point is not going to have an easy time. | ||

Once again Obama fails in even the most basic of tasks. Jesus Christ, way to be negative. Lighten up, buddy | ||
