In reply to the discussion: Howard Dean Goes Off On Republicans and the Media for Questioning Obama’s Competence [View all]DallasNE
(7,402 posts)The month Obama came into office this country shed 813,000 jobs, making this the most severe downturn since the Great Depression. By the middle of 2009 the recession had ended (although lack of cooperation from Republicans has made the recovery sluggish). He ended the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan is rapidly coming to an end. He passed a signature health care law that is already showing great dividends and health care costs are going up at their slowest rate in 50 years. He has cut the annual government deficit in half. He got the Lilly Ledbetter equal pay law passed. He has the country headed in the right direction. So show me where this alleged incompetence is showing. Governor Dean was right to get up on his high horse when faced with the garbage coming from Santorum and left unchallenged by Candy Crowley. They had it coming.
