John,
I wouldn't normally engage in mental masturbation like this but it's Monday morning and I am waiting for some things to come in. I will try and type slow so you can understand.
1. It's not a right wing fantasy about Obama being a socialist. 52% of people polled by NYT/CBS poll think he's bringing us to socialism.

2.. Dump fannie and freddie? Why not? Please tell me why the biggest cause of our current problem should be allowed to continue? Why should the government be the solution to everything? Here's the plain and simple fact you liberals just can't seek your teeth into, NOT EVERYONE IS EQUAL. Should there be equal opportunity? Of course. Should everyone be able to get a home? Of course not. The Community Reinvestment Act signed by Clinton is the root cause of this fiasco today. Banks didn't lend in poorer communities for a reason.... DEFAULTS! No money down, no doc loans, 100% financing.... what exactly did people think would happen?
3. We have a health-care bill with no public option. Yet. The government now oversees 1/6th of our economy with the new health care regulations. Many people are already seeing through the lies with their insurance rates jumping an average of 10%. When rates continue to jump, the government will spring into action and create the public option out of inferred necessity.
As I stated before, NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE EQUAL. should everyone be treated equal? Yes. Should people have free healthcare at the expense of others? As harsh as it sounds, no. I am a firm believer in darwinism. The strong and productive will survive, the leeches and siphons will perish.
4. Obama saved our auto?

Again, an un-needed bailout and raping of free enterprise. Obama didn't save the auto companies, he saved the Unions. Had they been allowed to file for bk, then perhaps the Unions with their bloate entitlements would have sat down at the table and been more reasonable. The only thing Obama did was perpetuate an already broken system that should have been allowed to fail.
5. Everyone tries to save Social Security. Medicare on the other hand... are you serious? Didn't Obama take a 500B hatchet to Medicare?

6. The stimulis? You are joking right? Saved millions of jobs? WHAT JOBS? So now we don't judge on jobs created, but jobs saved.

7. Raising taxes. Time and time again it has been shown, proof positive if you raise taxes on job creators they will not hire people or they move their businesses overseas. "If you don't learn from history's mistakes, you are doomed to repeat them"
8. Bush's Bank Bailout - Meant to purchase toxic asset much like the failed savings and loan crisis. But alas, once Obama got in office he changed the manner and requirements on the Bailout and the banks were simply given the cash, which them promptly used to pay creditors overseas so they could maintain their credit ratings. You are swining for the fenses on that one John. Do you even check the facts before you spew forth talking points to which you have no insight?
9. The stupidest war in History? You mean the stupid democracy now strategically located amidst the last bastion of violent turmoil that has reached out and personally touched us? You mean the stupid war with the most brutal dictator since Pol Pot? You mean the stupid war that brings a permanent American presense to the Middle East that keeps those Allah screaming terrorists fighting over there, instead of on your street? So what we didn't find WMD, stop being a naive child. We needed a foothold in the Middle East and Sadaam was dumb enough to test our patience at the time. Let me remind you, he was in violation of numerous UN sanctions prior to our second invasion. A convenient memory loss by liberals.
10. The last batch of saintly deeds you are yapping about isn't worthy of rebuttal simply because it's such a stretch from reality it's just laughable. Cutting aid spending? How many Czars unchecked by congress does this fool have? How many vacations? Dinners?
Let's see what Obama has acheived:
Bow's to Muslim leaders, Housing market hasn't even begun to recover. World laughs at us and our idealistic dreamer President. N. Korea pretty much tells us to F'off. Iran fires up their nuke reactor. Gitmo, still open. Afghanistan, still going. Joblessness, on the rise. Debt, at historical levels. 3 times the amount that took 200 years to accumulate, btw. greater government intervention into our lives.
Lets take this for instance, Fannie and Freddie now cap fees on loans at 3%. Three percent for the broker, title agent, lender. Where do your fees fit in there? Now the government can tell you how much money you can charge or make, if that's not socialism, I don't know what is.
