Look, I’m at the start of my administration. One nice thing about the situation I find myself in is that I will be held accountable. You know, I’ve got four years. A year from now I think people are going to see that we’re starting to make some progress. But there’s still going to be some pain out there. If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition. — 2009

My Take – Well, it’s been almost 4 years, and progress has been anemic at best.  Unemployment, even if you believe the latest numbers from the administration, is horrible, especially if you consider the large number of people who have just given up and stopped looking for work.  The price of just about everything people need for their day-to-day lives is up, thanks in large part to the administration’s habit of printing money whenever the mood hits them.  Our allies don’t know they can depend on us, and our enemies laugh at us.

So, Mr. President, it’s the end of your first term, and you haven’t accomplished what you set out to do.  Are you prepared for this to be a ‘one-term proposition’?  Because I am, and I have a feeling I’m not alone.
