Here is a quote about a year ago:  True or false?

"President Obama has accomplished more in 30 days than any president in modern history," a senior White House official said this morning in a background briefing for TV reporters.

_____________________________________________________________

He has done somethings.  He has also made many mistakes, and has created quite a mess.
Many failures.

Should we alphabetize the mess ?  Or list the mess in economic terms?

Lets just name a few.  Here is a dirty dozen.




1.  Failed to close down the Guantanamo prison.
2.  Few new jobs, jobs creation.
3.  $3 trillion budget.
4.  Fail to get Jon Corzine elected in NJ,  failed to get Coakley elected to senate seat held by Ted Kennedy.
5.  Failed to get Health Care reform bill passed.
6.  Made over 500 campaign promises, not many completed.
7.  Attitude on national security and terrorism.. Is America safe?
8.  Failure to keep his campaign pledge to have health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN. Much of   meetings were held behind closed doors.
9. Two wars.
10. FOREIGN POLICY - another failure.  Has done little or nothing with North Korea, Iran, Russia, China. Israeli and Palestinians relations.
11. Wants to reform banks, wants to limit bonuses, then flip flops. 
12. "no political appointees in an Obama-Biden administration will be permitted to work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years". In practice, Mr Obama has granted several waivers to this rule, allowing lobbyists to serve in the top reaches of his administration.
