Actually truth is Tina Fey is going on maternity leave...so Palin will be filling in on 30 Rock.
I think, though, this might be a case of Occam's Razor here. She quit just 'cause

Now we're back on track here...reasonable comments be damned!!!
I just thought that maybe it was time to just use the words I see here very often when talking about the right.

On second thought (this is a repost), is there at least one thing - just one- you actually think President Obama is doing well?
No, and so far every thing they have done has failed and has cost the tax payers a bunch of money.

I mean the simple fact this person is taken serious by anyone just says how low we've sunk. A vice-presidential candidate accuses a presidential candidate of conspiring w/ terrorists. The same VP candidate can't name more than one supreme court case or a single book/periodical she reads regularly. Again, it just leaves me speechless that Americans, who have access to all kinds of education, news and discussion could take Palin serious...

Well thanks for that analysis. Maybe I'll take this up in another thread on another day.

You're wasting your time 12th. It's not worth it

Like SS said its not worth the time. You will say how great Obama is doing then I'll point out the unemployment, housing, stimulas not working, and other things and I'll blame Obama and you will blame Bush. So its done in a few words.

Well seven months into this admin, I wouldn't label anything a triumph. I wouldn't do it a year from now either.
Things he's done well, in my opinion. I could start with his visit to Russia today. Significant progress in the area of nuclear warheads. Significant. Anytime we get Russia to agree to reduce their nukes, along with ours, by a third that's a big deal. There were a few other good things that resulted in his visit to Russia. He's made some good and long overdue moves regarding Cuba too. Ditto the tone he's struck overall internationally.
In terms of domestic spending, which is one of the biggest sticking points by those on the right and some on the left quite frankly, we'll see. One thing's for sure, had McCain taken office, he would have taken similiar action. It may not have had the word "stimulus", but he would have taken similiar action. Probably to the tune of around $500 billion, instead of Obama's Neimen Maurcus taste of $787 billion.
If healthcare gets passed this year, no matter what version, I would most definitely chalk that up as a triumph.
