Obama, Cracked, WTF?

Cracked has a good article (hat tip to fruitylips here) on that WTF Has Obama Done So Far site that's getting linkspammed practically everywhere, and it makes several good points. The article's main point is that a successful President — or any successful politician — wouldn't need a cheerleading/apology site like this to try to convince people that he was doing a good job, because it would be obvious.

It also points out, as I've previously observed elsewhere, that if you actually look at the "Obama accomplishments" listed on that site and think about what they are, a large majority of them aren't really things that Obama "did".  They're things that the Democrat-controlled Congress did, and Obama, a Democratic President, did not veto.  (Meanwhile, the site is oddly silent about the issues that have enraged voters taking to the streets and even to the Washington Mall¹.)

If the best thing you can find to say about the President you're supporting is that he did not veto his own party's bills, you're really damning him with faint praise.
