Eugene Robinson marks the anniversary of President Obama's election:
Obama's months in office have been so action-packed that it's easy to forget some of the historic steps he has taken: nominating Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic on the Supreme Court. Going to Egypt and speaking directly to the Muslim world about cooperation rather than conflict. Embracing multilateralism as the template for U.S. foreign policy in the new century. Accepting the scientific consensus on climate change. Investing in "green" jobs and education reform as key engines of economic development.
And then there's health-care reform. I've been impatient with Obama's strategy of letting Congress take the lead on writing legislation, but he's brought us to the brink of truly meaningful reform much faster than anyone could have imagined a year ago. We still have some fighting to do over two words -- "public" and "option" -- but it looks like the principle that everyone is entitled to health insurance, a Democratic Party goal for at least six decades, is about to become law.
Quite a record for 287 days: All that, and a Nobel Peace Prize, too.

No, he isnt perfect but i dont understand this Nirvana Fallacy the entire country is plagued with? Can you name one "perfect" president. Its ironic how some of our most hated presidents overtime become some of history's most loved (Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR, Jackson, etc...)
He's done a fine job, if one can relate to incompedence. This turky has been and is out to lunch and you and me are going to pay the check. Bye: Adam Troy
same thing happened in Venezula, Chavez moved in and started changing everything, then when he gained XXX power he started taking away property.
Let's not forget Eugene Robinson won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. Good job!
I guess this is what we get with a fascist government that favors the rich for the last 30 years
Did I get to go to Harvard? No,and a parttime job would not have paid the difference.These realities need to sink onto the minds of some people.
