In Miami on Thursday when he took a jab at the Tea Parties that had been rallying that day against taxes, big government and government overspending. “I’ve been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes” President Obama stated to a laughing and cheering audience, “You would think they’d be saying thank you.” The President also commented on his economic recovery package, stating that it has led to two million Americans being put back to work as well as the so called tax cuts that he implemented early last year.

Obama walked into a host of problems including the deepest recession in America since the Great Depression…so bad, that it was beginning to look like the Dark Ages.  A spreading global economic crisis that literally hit every major international power (incase you don’t remember, ICELAND went bankrupt!).  China was threatening to dump the US Dollar like it was a lead balloon.  (buying up T-Bills at the same time)

Let’s see…what else? Oh, an automotive industry on the brink of collapse. A soaring national debt thanks to 2 (count ‘em 2) wars left by George Bush.  Unemployment increasing up the whazoo.  And, least we forget, the threat of global terrorism to US interest at it’s highest since 9/11.  Did I miss anything?

Since Obama took office he has done the following:
Assured that Veterans Administration budget is prepared as a “must-pass” legislation–
Increased the VA budget including more mental health professionals (bet ya didn’t hear about that on Fox News).

Increased funding to expand community based prevention programs;

Signed the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities;

Increased funding to expand community based prevention programs;

Eliminated the higher subsidies to Medicare Advantage plans;

Expanded eligibility for Medicaid;

Gave tax credits to those who need help to pay health premiums;

Closed the "doughnut hole" in Medicare prescription drug plan;

Expanded loan programs for small businesses;

Established a credit card bill of rights;

Created an Advanced Manufacturing Fund to invest in peer-reviewed manufacturing processes.

Getting tired, I can name over 70 more.  But, incase you’re a Ditto Head, I won’t bore you anymore with facts.  I’ll only say this…Hell, yes, a F*&King thank you would have been nice.
