Obama's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year
Oil Spill, High Unemployment, Election Losses Among Setbacks

WASHINGTON -- Barack Obama's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year got off to a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad start.
There he was, on New Year's Day, on vacation with his family in Hawaii, stuck on a secure phone with counterterrorism officials, trying to figure out what screw-ups had allowed a would-be terrorist to board a Christmas Day flight with explosives in his underwear.
Things only got worse for Obama when he returned to Washington in between a pair of epic winter storms.
From the start, 2010 delivered a string of setbacks that built up to an electoral shellacking come November, to use the president's own word.

Swim, rinse, repeat.
sounds like rope a dope to me. He got all he wanted out of lame duck session, except DREAM and he is now meeting with all the Hispanic leaders discussing how racist etc the GOP is to block them from their just deserts.

What was so bad for him?
HE got to be President. WE had to live under it.

wanna talk kagen and the other putz?
Was it really a failure though? Month by month, Obama did exceptionally grave damage to our country and then piled more destruction on top of that. Sure his allies lost at the polls, but the chief socialist is still in power and still doing steady harm to America.
