For Puling Progressive Pukes Bashing Barry 'Bama

[Accordingly, on a closer and more careful review and evaluation of legislative accomplishments resulting from Obama's presidential leadership, my abiding commitment to political integrity and constructive self-criticism requires me to recite, objectively, those set of facts, that persuasively indicate that Obama has been more successful than I originally characterized in recent posts.

Admittedly, the legislative achievements during this past week's "lame-duck" session of Congress, has provided a more meaningful context within which to evaluate Obama's presidency.

For the record, during his first two years in office his achievements include:

• $787 billion stimulus for the economy

• 13-month extension of unemployment insurance

• Rescue of the auto industry

• Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform& Protection Act

• Health-care reform

• Extension of insurance for a million children under SCHIP

• Repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

• Shepard-Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act

• Ratification of the New START Nuclear Treaty

• Funding of the First Responders Act ("9/11" Word Trade Center)

So, I congratulate you, Mr. President; and, especially salute and applaud the leadership of House Speaker, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.]
