** This thread discusses the Content article: Barack Obama – What Have You Done For Me Lately? **

Just found out about you. Appreciate the Obama piece with its useful list of what has been accomplished. The sad thing is how dismal the November outlook appears. Did a piece on that in my new blog: charley-liberaldog.blogspot.com.

I am saddened by the outcome of the mid-term election. What has Barack Obama done for me lately? A better question is what have we done for him. I am not in his corner just because he is Black but I am saddened that so many of us didn't stand up for the part of his agenda that we do believe. I am saddened that we are swayed by the "Christian Right" that have twisted the truth in order to gain the majority.
President Obama has tried to do everything that he promised when he was elected. He said then that it wouldn't happen overnight. He said then that it would be difficult. At we have held him (as usual)to a different standard that any President in my life time. I have listened to the rationale the news media gives as reason the Democrats lost so many seats in the Nov. election but I don't buy it. If anything the Democrats didn't do enough to advance his agenda and for that some really should have lost.
Shamefully they all seem to have done what they could get re-elected instead of doing what they could for the "least of these" .
I am now retired and no longer have to worry about losing my job or healthcare but I have family and friends who have fallen prey to job losses, 401K losses etc. How can we not support President Obama like others supported George W Bush for 8 years and give him a chance to fulfill his promise. How on earth could we vote the people back who got us in this mess in the beginning in a 20 month time span?
I don't get it. I just don't get it.
