Re: The Incomplete Greatness of Barack Obama

In his first three years in office, Barack Obama has gotten more done
-- ending the Iraq War, turning around Detroit, repealing Don't Ask,
Don't Tell, averting another Great Depression
---
giving O credit for these things is deceptive and insane.
He's done his best to promote socialism and minorities ... just like
we knew he would.
