failing to note any accomplishments during Obama's administration to this point

I don't think a Thanksgiving Day proclamation should tout the speaker's accomplishments, in the first place, and, in the second place, the Obozo doesn't have any, so it's no wonder there were none in the proclamation.

bam gave no thanks. Either in his radio address or his supposed Thanksgiving message. I can’t stand it.

Bush, 2008:

“When the Pilgrims celebrated their first Thanksgiving nearly four centuries ago, they had already suffered through a harsh and bitter winter,” President Bush said in a weekly radio address in November 2008. “But they were willing to endure that adversity to live in a land where they could worship the Almighty without persecution.

“When President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, the United States was in the midst of a terrible civil war,” Bush added. “But in that hour of trial he gave thanks – because he believed America would weather the storm and emerge into a new era of liberty.”

Let’s take a moment today to give thanks.

Of course it does. He can’t say what he is really thinking.

It’s like the polls showing him down; but still popular. That still popular is a load of bs. Remember how they use to say that about Clinton too which is another load of bs. How can a rapist be popular?

The Obamas are using a lot of the Clinton tricks.
