You gotta love the media. Before the president even finished his FinReg remarks, he already got that question thrown at him. Because he's not doing enough...

5. In addition to being faced with one crisis after another...
ranging everywhere from gigantic and unprecedented to just petty. I wonder if he wakes up every morning thinking, "WTF is next?"

6. "Where's the Change?"
I love that one. :eyes:

I like the sometimes simultaneous arguments of "he's not doing enough" and "he's doing too much, he's overloading the 'system'".

4. They know what's next: climate/energy bill
Why isn't it obvious to these assholes given the disaster they've been blaming the President for?

7. Obama is setting the bar pretty high for his successors
And himself. It didn't take long for us to again expect accomplishments from our president. I thought bush* had finally put an end to that. But perhaps we're simply setting up a double standard where all future Democratic presidents are judged against Clinton and Obama, and all future republican presidents are judged against the idiot.

12. Taking the side of the M$M?
who will always be claiming the POTUS does not do enough, except when he does too much?

Who will always be carrying water for the Republicans?

13. the M$M media and the WH work together to keep it stupid
they joke around with each other and talk about stupid shit like Obama's emotions. They never challenge the president in a substantial way, at least since Helen Thomas retired.
