To now say, "Hey, you're a big cheating liar politician guy because you haven't made sunshine shine out my ass in the last 27 days" is pretty lame, even for partisan hackery.

Used to be we gave presidents 100 days. Despite some right-wing quacking to the contrary, the fact is that even George Bush got 100 days before people really started in on him. I heard people calling for Obama's impeachment on fucking January 21st. Could we just give it a REST for a bit, people? The campaign season is OVER. Yeah, you lost, and I feel real bad for your poor hurt feelings. But there's a country that the guy's trying to run (America First, 'member?) and while you're free to disagree on how he does it, what'll work is to set aside knee-jerk politics and have a substantive discussion of issues.
1) Anyone calling for Obama's impeachment already (unless it's on a bad SNL sketch) is an idiot.

2) I'm curious as to how any of what you said here has to do with those seven things in the original post and how he couldn't have worked it all into the stimulus plan. We aren't talking about solving the economy in a month here, but things like avoiding pork and opening the process.

He's the guy with the veto and the support of the people, while Congress still has a low approval rating. He could have done something.
