I must say, you really are smitten, aren't you.
1. What he is pushing as healthcare reform, is not. Have you actually read that bill? Really, have you? If not you can not accurately speak to it at all. If you have and still feel this way, you are just in love, nothing more, nothing less.
2. The economy is not showing any real recovery. It may look like it is if you don't have any real knowledge about the economy. The 0.1 drop in unemployment is not recovery. It is a seasonal increase that should have been 1.2 - 2.3, not 0.1. We lost 88,000 more jobs in July, and the only gains in employment were in the auto industry and government. NOT good.
3. Obama has not signed into law ANYTHING you listed. Not one. Where did you get that bucket of spit? Did you make it up or read it somewhere? None of it is true. You have no source for that info, because it's false.
4. Which countries has he had non-proliferation talks with? And I mean more than just 45 mins or an hour or two? He has not!
5. Obama has DOUBLED the troop numbers in Afghanistan, NOT lowered them. Our soldiers are getting killed more often because of the wimpy restrictions they have to operate under, like reading terrorists their Miranda rights instead of splattering their brains against the wall.
You really are in LOVE with Flopears aren't you?
I wish you too all the best.
Superb my scrotum!!

Expanding government is not good...
The easiest way to rebut your list of so-called positives about the Obama administration is to simply say your proof that the government is expanding as exemplified by your careful enumeration of actions it has taken or passed is actually the reason it is so dangerous and misdirected
As the Classical Liberals proved, government is a necessary evil which should be resisted and circumscribed as much as possible. Democracy, which gave the people the right to turnout an administration with which they were unhappy, was a crude form of restraint, but as the Founding Fathers realized, a tyranny of the majority is still a tyranny. Thus the Constitution carefully states what the Federal Government can do, and the system of checks and balances along with the Bill of Rights were further mechanisms to limit it's power.
The progressives are seeking to breakout of these restraints and create a paternalistic system which threatens all the freedoms and liberties we have held precious for over 200 years.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. You, and all those like you who hold the current administration up for praise and adulation, forget this at peril to us all.

If you dislike the federal government running things then take over the health insurance and benefits of all your friends and relatives that get Medicare, Medicaid, VA Benefits, SSI, and Social Security.

Successful government programs....NOT!
You mean all those wonderful programs that are threatened with bankruptcy on an almost daily basis?
Yes, by all means, lets give the government even more power so they can expand on their successes. [Have you heard the Post Office is going to lose 16 BILLION dollars over the next two years. Now that is a successfully run enterprise!].

You did not repsond to my first comment back to you:

Also, you have been getting your postal mail your whole adult life. I guess the post office is good for something.

No choice
Yes I do use the Postal service- they have a monopoly on certain kinds of mail and I HAVE NO CHOICE.
Sort of like the Public Option on Health care.
Your naivete is touching if you are 10 or younger. However, I suspect you are older, and therefore it is frightening and dangerous.
If your belief in the power of government was well placed the Soviet Union would not be in the trash bin of history but instead be a model for the world.
As long as the government is fulfilling all our wishes, let's have them pass legislation outlawing war, disease and any kind of deprivation.
I better point out that is a joke- I wouldn't want you calling your Congressmen to find out if they can start work on it!

"...and the best is still yet to come."
Yep, elections in 2010.
Actually Hillary did a better job of overseeing an attempt at health insurance reform.
How does going a trillion more into debt help the economy? And wasn't too much credit one of the prime problems, so how does extending it more help. When you're in a hole rule #1 says stop digging.
Before Obama children had health care, women were protected in the work place, the economy isn't growing, the military can't retain people (that is not streamlining) and Mr. Obama still smokes.
Iran and North Korea don't seem interested in what Mr. Obama has to say about nuclear arms.
Obama has done nothing about the two wars you moan about. I thought he was bringing the troops home?
Mr. Obama cared nothing about the people who elected him to the Senate what makes you think he cares about you.
I too don't give credence to wing nuts, especially those who blindly follow with no thought.
