I saw this on HBO, but seeing it again in Daily Kos makes me want to save it here so I can look back at it and refer to it if it comes up.

Bill Maher makes a point in such a way, it makes me laugh, even though this shouldn't be funny!:

Not to say the economy is great, but these are new times and we have to think of things in new ways.
I wish we could be less partisan.

He didn't go on a spending spree. He didn't break up the too big to fail banks. They've only gotten bigger and fail-ier. That's not what liberals wanted, that's what conservatives wanted.President Obama is also not bad on jobs:
At the 2008 convention, Sarah Palin chanted "Drill, baby, drill". Under Obama, there's more drilling than ever. That's not what environmentalists wanted, that's what conservatives wanted.
Obama spent most of last year conceding the Republican premise that government needed cutting. That's not what progressives wanted, that's what the Tea Party wanted.
The Dow was at 7,949 when he took office, now it's 12,000 and over, corporate profits are at their highest ever. If he's a socialist, he's a lousy one.
