Obama will be recognized by history as one of our great presidents.  It is evident that he has extended his hand to the Republicans, but that they continue to be truculent.  They have no ideas but those that led us to an economic mess.  Their only recourse is to prevaricate, create fear.  They do not want him or our country to succeed.  Why then should their views be represented?

Obama is following through with his promises.  It is true that he has not accomplished everything, but hey, he has 3.5 years left (I am hoping that his tenure will be extended for an additional 4 years beyond that).  Those of us who voted for hime have to realize that he is very good, but even he cannot "jump tall buildings with a single bound or is faster than a speeding bullet."  He does, however, represent "Truth, Justice, and the American Way".  Yep, watching TV in the 50s can confer benefits.
