I still respect Paul McCartney as one of the greatest musical artists of the last century. There is no denying the impact he had on music.

But like so many artists, they shoot off their mouth about politics and world affairs without any knowledge of what they are talking about. I wish someone had challenged him when he said “Zero” was doing a great job...

I would make the exact same challenge if a staunch conservative had been President since January 2009, and that person did what this clown has done, and the country was where it is now.
The Middle East foreign policy is at an all-time low, our relations with Israel are clearly at an all-time low. His recent treatment of Netanyahu when he visited Washington was more than embarrassing it was adolescent and vindictive. The violence is raising to a fever pitch and another serious armed conflict in the Gaza region looms as a real possibility. Meanwhile Israel's enemies in the region are building nuclear war programs. This idiot caves to pre-election promises made to the ghoul Clinton and has this incompetent ogre heading up the state department, overseeing our foreign relations policy.

The economy has not improved, while the unemployment is at least 3 -4 points higher than when he came in. His stimulus programs are an abysmal failure. There are no real new jobs, just jobs in the government that he's borrowed money to create. Unemployment claims remain at record levels week after week. His massive run up in the debt is threatening to bankrupt the country, and, if unchallenged, or not repealed, will burden future generations of working people with significant additional taxes relative to what Americans pay now

For the Peacniks he's done nothing to move the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq closer to a meaningful conclusion.

He's lost in a fog over what to do about an major oil spill, (though I believe he's standing back and letting the spill get as bad as it can, to build support for cap and trade). But there's no real leadership or competency being displayed.

Cap and trade will line the pockets of those on the inside of this scam, but it will be a disaster for working American on tight budgets, even the “experts” on the cap and trade side acknowledge energy costs will go up significantly. That will translate into the cost of everything going up. If the power bill of a large manufacturing company doubles, that extra cost has to be factored into the cost of the goods being manufactured.

Race relations in this country are worse than they have been in 50 years, and now there's a new “race war” in place, as the Latino population is fighting back against whites and even blacks.

Illegal immigration has taken a new and ugly turn. In the 80s and 90s illegals came here to work, keep out of view and try and build a better life than they could in Mexico. Now there's a whole new group of illegals, many are coming here to rip off the system, and others are dangerous criminals running drugs and gangs. They are filling our jails and bankrupting states like CA and AZ. As the problem worsens, Zero's only answer is to let them all stay here.

Military moral is very low and allowing gays into the military threatens to decimate the armed forces, as many of our best military leaders looking to retire earlier or simply leave.

Ramming health care reform, a government takeover of the health care industry, down the throats of Americans is far from an accomplishment. Now that American have seen some of what's in that bill, close to 65 % are against it. That's practically everyone in America who isn't on some sort of government assistance, which is running at closer to 40%.

His administration is proving to be nearly as corrupt as the Clinton administration, and his talk of transparency is laughable, as they do almost all the major work behind closed doors. How many “appointed” Czars and insiders have had to quit because of tax evasion or other questionable behavior. It's pure Chicago dirty politics, and even the man he choose as chief-of-staff , Emanuel, is the poster boy for Chicago-style politics.
Now we have a new wrinkle, bribing members of their own party if they don't run against someone they wanted running. Reid and Pelosi continue bribing members of both houses to vote for their legislation, as we saw with the shameless whoring during the health care reform fiasco. Nelson and so many others blatantly offered bribes for their votes. And there was no shame in it, they didn't care if America knew what was being offered to these whores for their vote.
Even the old liberal battle-axe Helen Thomas declared this to be the most controlled administration she has ever seen, in terms of press access, management of the press, etc. All access is orchestrated. When was the last time he had an open press conference, where the questions were not pre-screened ?

So Sir McCartney, please tell me and the rest of America, what this great leader has done since January 2009 ?
