Let's see we would be at war with Iran, human rights would be in the toilet and McCain would be the most part time President since W

Would We Be Better Off If John McCain Were President? | World | AlterNet This is a dumb question because it is just another excuse to beat up on Obama in the name of progressive funk. Progressive funk translates into not paying any attention to the unsung achievements of President Obama while politics is dancing in the heads of progressives with all the force that it mesmerizes wingnuts. It is getting almost impossible to heed progressives save for the fact that most of their perorations have a grain of truth. What happens is that truth that makes sense is transformed into self-referential angst that no one cares about. And into nasty jabs at the President, because someone has to be the scapegoat for the failure of progressives (aka democracy). Robust support of the President would have avoided the catastrophe of 2010. Instead we had neutered Democrats and self-referential progressives and a disaster at the polls.  We will never really know what the President could have done. (False progressive assumptions.) I prefer to think he does what he can do. There is a vast difference between these two POVs.
