About one thing, left and right seem to agree these This conventional wisdom about Obama's first year isn't just premature—it's sure to be flipped on its head by the anniversary of his inauguration on Jan. 20. If, as seems increasingly likely, Obama wins passage of a health care reform a bill by that date, he will deliver his first State of the Union address having accomplished more than any other postwar American president at a comparable point in his presidency.

At first glance, I thought the title was sarcasm.
Oh, I agree ... Obama will have turned a once great Democracy into a Socialist state quicker than even the Communists have. That’s quite an accomplishment ... not a good one, though.
Slut magazine would call 0bama’s excreta brilliant.
In fact, 0bama and his morose maoist thugs have excreted all over our Constitution and our Liberty.
Wotta load
After Health Care “Reform” and Cap and Trade we will become a country no longer worth defending. Quite an accomplishment.
Jacob would have been a great Nazi.
Define "accomplished".
He’s spent trillions of non-existent dollars on those phony “accomplishments”.
Great start!
It is sycophants like this who give Obama the Nobel Prize based on his potential.
It is sycophants like this who proclaim great accomplishments where none have taken place.
It is sycophants like this who screamed loudest about the “mission accomplished” sign.
The bottom line: these people are insane.
If a person was standing behind Mr Ed the talking horse, not being able to tell the difference between the horses mouth and the horse’s behind, they might be forgiven for mistakenly thinking that what was coming out of the horse constituted pearls of wisdom. Upon closer examination they may realize their error, for some things don’t pass the sniff test.
BARF alert next time please...
Only if you adhere to the tenets of Marx and Lenin and support the policy agenda of FDR and LBJ. Otherwise, Obama is nothing but a power hungry Chicago thug taking every opportunity to destroy the Constitution and undermine traditional America.
Consider the source: another Ivy League, Left Wing, Rhodes Scholar (ala Clinton), Jewish intellectual, long time Liberal, working for the Washington Post. Co wrote a book with financial criminal mastermind Robert Rubin. Kerry tried to get him into the Skull & Bones at Yale, so he’s obviously tight with Lurch too.
Yes to him, no doubt, Obama is wondeful. Almost as good as FDR who confiscated the peoples gold in his first 90 days in office.
He and his co-travelers are getting fabulously weathly at our expense. How much did Robert Rubin make last year?

Jacob Weisberg (born 1964) is an American political journalist, serving as editor-in-chief of Slate Group, a division of The Washington Post Company, and a columnist for the Financial Times.
He served as the editor of Slate magazine for six years, until stepping down in June 2008.[1]
He is the son of Lois Weisberg, a Chicago social activist and connector celebrated in Malcolm Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point. Weisberg’s father, Bernard Weisberg, was a prominent Chicago lawyer and, later, judge. His parents were introduced at a cocktail party by novelist Ralph Ellison.
Weisberg is a frequent commentator on National Public Radio and also writes a weekly column for the Financial Times. He previously worked for The New Republic in Washington, D.C., was a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and a contributing editor to Vanity Fair.
Early in his career, he worked for Newsweek in the London and Washington bureaus. Weisberg has also worked as a freelance journalist for numerous publications.
The creator and author of the Bushisms series, Weisberg published The Bush Tragedy in 2008. He is also the author, with Robert Rubin, of In An Uncertain World (2003). Weisberg’s first book, In Defense of Government, was published in 1996.
Weisberg graduated from Yale University in 1986, where he worked for the Yale Daily News. When a junior, he was offered a membership in Skull and Bones by Senator John Kerry, but declined the offer, citing the club’s exclusion of women.[2] Instead Weisberg was persuaded by The Washingon Post’s Robert G. Kaiser to join Elihu Society instead.[3]
After Yale he attended New College, Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship.
Or nothing.
An unprecedented failure.
Could someone please lead me to where the brilliance is? Oh, I guess they mean he has been brilliant in taking America down in such a short time span.
“An unprecedented failure.”
From your lips to God’s ears. Seriously.
The people who put out this magazine do a lot of drugs.
Unprecendented bullsh*t.
