The papers are full of odd statements that ask the question "why despite numerous Obama's achievements by Obama are the Republican doing so well?" What achievement? Do you mean the continued reign of the health insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies over the health care of Americans? Or do you mean the clear danger that the financial crisis is behind the corner or is already unwinding with the foreclosure fiasco despite the alleged financial reform? Or is it the unjustified fatal and mindless war in Afghanistan? Or do you mean that none of the criminals that perpetrated the financial collapse was even indicted and all TBTF bank management is still in place. Or maybe the fact that Obama promised to change politics from the way it was and is for many thousands of years and failed to accomplish it (as if it is anything but an idiotic idea)?
The above list can be extended way further. We had minor achievements since Obama became president. Even the jewel in the crown, health care reform, is still to come and its promise to cover most American is questionable. Obama clearly did not even try to reform the real cancer: the highway robbery called insurance companies and big Pharma. Obama increased the forces in Afghanistan instead of cutting out our loses. Obama was silent during the main attack on health care reform leading to the total distortion of the intention and repercussion of the reform in the hands of Republican hooligans.
Obama continued his nonsense on bipartisanship despite it early death about a month into his term. This impressed the Republicans that they are dealing with a dummy; they were right.
Obama's dysfunction, is abandoning of the unemployed, total support of the banks and their managers, his being out to lunch for long periods, his lack of fighting spirit and lack of real achievement will sink the Democrats on November 2nd. The Republicans may be way worse, but Obama is quite bad already.
