I can list many great things he has done from environmental issues, educational issues, health care issues (especially the push for standardized health records), push for bi-partison healthcare reform (if you don't think this is needed - get your head out of the dirt or away from fox news), lifted restrictions on stem-cell research, international relations have tremendously improved, re-focus our war on terrorist- not Iraq, encouraged others to take a stand to militants/terroists (pakistan), restrictions on lobbyist, economy is showing signs of an upswing, housing prices have risen for the past three months (first time in 3 years).

This is all in an 8 month period without any substantial time for significant progress. This is far better. Maybe you just don't like a president that actually works. By this time in the last administrations tenure - the president had already take close to 40 vacation days.
A push for bi partisan health care reform? I can't believe you actually typed that. Whose head is in the dirt here? Mr. Obama's health care bill came straight from pro government far left Democrats, just like most everything else he's brought to the table.

The President has more than broken his bi partisan campaign promise, he's stomped it in the aforementioned dirt. The stimulus bill was passed without even giving the Republicans or anyone else a chance to READ it, let alone have any input. Same with the health care bill. The President by his own admission hadn't even read the health care bill when he hit the stump trying to ram it through Congress. Guess you can write off that transparency campaign promise as well.

Evironmental issues? Other than appoint an ultra left extremist as Green Jobs Czar, what's he done?

Educational issues and stem cell research I'll give you a pass due my ignorance of his efforts there.

Improved international relations? Please. Apparently you've confused apologized with improved.

Restrictions on lobbyists have been limited to lip service, no true restrictions. They're operating as usual in DC at this very minute.

Mr. Bush stopped Iraqi state sponsored terror, dealt terrorists a critical blow, and we had no more 9/11's. Mr. Obama has our soldiers deployed in Afghanistan with a similar goal. Difference is he gets support from the left for his war instead of the hate Mr. Bush got for Iraq.

The economy would've improved as much or more by now without the government borrowing 800+ billion from China to get into the banking, insurance, and automotive businesses. Cash for clunker cars/appliances are warmed over rebate programs very similar to those in the Carter administration. Basically they make it easy for consumers to get themselves into more debt.

No Col, you don't present any convincing arguments, just vague liberal talking points.
