8. +1 we should all remember to mention this often. BushCo plans to leave it out of the history books

if they can get away with it.

5. I take issue with "No successful terrorist events on U.S. soil."

The murder of Dr. George Tiller (May 31, 2009) was arguably a successful terrorist attack by an opponent of reproductive rights, as was the Holocaust museum shooting (June 10, 2009) by a white supremacist and Holocaust denier.

Maybe your scorecard would prompt these "Republican friends" to acknowledge the existence of right-wing terrorism, if that's the only way they can criticize Obama.

10. K/R

President Obama accomplishes what the GOP only bloviates about. And the GOP can't stand it.

11. Some think Obama unworthy of the Peace Prize. How many mass-murderers has he taken out?

Nobody considers lives saved.
