What we've just done is worse than doing nothing, and a lot more
expensive.

a) Not taking as much money from someone is not the same as giving
them money.
b) President Obama plans to make those cuts permanent.

What a breath of fresh air Obama is.

We have an agreement on "nucular" arms reductions and at last a chill regarding the Israeli state's relentless theft of
Palestinian land - progress unimaginable under the lunatic last administration - facts that I suppose will be disputed by
numbskull lowbrow rightists.

He said his health care was under $900B. It isn't close.
He said it cuts costs. It increases them. A lot.
It violates our constitution in several ways, among them by adding
government surveillance of people's health conditions and financial
affairs, enforced by the IRS.

He's reaffirmed and increased the Patriot Act.
He has, in general, continued all the Bush policies that Democrats so
demonized.

He's seized companies, then given them to his friends.

He talks to our enemies and abandons our friends.

I especially like his "Nukes for North Korea" program.

A breath of fresh air, indeed.
