How Is President Obama Really Doing?
President Obama hasn't just touched the deadly third rail of politics: He has thrown himself on it repeatedly. Even though he has walked headlong into one of the greatest economic disasters in history, faced the headwinds of the Party of No creating historic gridlock, and felt the political giving ground give way as the corporatocracy has pulled out the stops to keep their offshore tax loopholes and prevent regulation of Wild West Wall Street, he is doing, all in all, pretty well.
So what to make of the GOP rhetorical Obama-Pelosi-Reid carpet bombing that will roll out for the next eight weeks until the mid-term elections?
According to the "Obameter" at Politifact.com, 47% of Obama's campaign promises are in the works, 24% have been kept, 8% have been compromised, 16% have been stalled, and just 4% have been broken out of the 506 pledges that he made to the American people.

That's a pretty good track record for a president who has faced near-complete gridlock from a GOP determined not to govern, that has used the Filibuster a record number of times.

DAN FONG JR.

A note from Dan Fong's firefightin' son, Dan Fong and he's decided it's time to suit action to word...

Hello Everyone,
I hope this email finds you all well.
As you know, I am a paramedic/firefighter in the Denver area. Along
with many of you, I have been moved by the immense need for so many
things in Haiti. I have decided to take personal action.

On March 2, 2010, I will be headed to Haiti with a team from
International Medical Relief. International Medical Relief is a local
non-profit organization that provides medical care in disaster
situations.

I need your help in raising the $2000 I need to cover the cost of this
trip. Please know that any donation amount comes with very heartfelt
thanks.
You can donate easily at http://www.giveforward.org/fongtohaiti

On Thursday, a Denver news station interviewed Chris Bartkowicz about his medical-marijuana operation in the basement of his home. Bartkowicz, confident of his compliance with state laws, boasted of its size and profitability.

"I'm definitely living the dream now," he told 9News.
The following day, the dream was over.

Drug-enforcement agents raided his home, placed him under arrest, and carried off dozens of black bags of marijuana plants and growing lights.

Rachel Maddow Spars With Glenn Beck Over Bill Nye And Climate Change
by Joe Coscarelli | 11:24 am, February 13th, 2010» 15 comments
On Friday’s episode of The Rachel Maddow Show, the host took a few minutes to politely disagree with Glenn Beck’s views on global warming, including his refuting of Maddow’s guest Bill Nye the Science Guy. “Next up, a correction,” Maddow explained, motioning with her hand to indicate that Beck’s radio show is increasingly cuckoo.

Dean: Van Jones resignation a ‘loss for the country’
The resignation of Van Jones from his position as the White House’s green jobs czar is a “loss for the country,” Howard Dean told Fox News Sunday morning.
Dean added that “this guy is a Yale-educated lawyer, he’s a best-selling author. … I think he was brought down, I think Washington’s a tough place that way. I think it’s a loss for the country.”

The problem with Van Jones' resignation isn't that it's a major loss to the Obama administration. Jones wasn't a particularly important player in the big scheme of things, and he's by no means irreplaceable.
No, the real problem is that it gives these sentiments legitimacy.
Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) called on Jones to resign Friday, saying in a statement, "His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate."
Senator Christopher S. Bond (R-Mo.) urged Congress to investigate Jones's "fitness" for the position, writing in an open letter, "Can the American people trust a senior White House official that is so cavalier in his association with such radical and repugnant sentiments?" On Saturday, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, wrote on his Twitter account, "Van Jones has to go."
