I think I asked you dufus' first to provide evidence that he's actually done something. At least something beyond shoving a BS laden healthcare fiasco down the throats of citizens who never wanted it in the first place.Still waiting for that loooooooong list of Obama accomplishments.
The lib's just don't seem to have any answers or proof.
Now, why might that be?
LMAO!
I think I asked once....are you submitting that Obama has done nothing?
We are clearly headed into double dip recession. The stimulus was supposed to prevent it. It's misersably failed.
Any proof of jobs created?
Where's those shovel ready jobs?
Where's those shovel ready projects?
Why didn't the stimulus keep unemployment under 8% as he guaranteed.
Are the poor any better off?
Are the blacks any better off?
Are you deviant gay goofballs any better off?
What has he done?......Answer the fucking question and quit using the typical loony liberal tactic of spin and deflect......I fully understand that you people are not the brightest lights on the ol' Christmas tree. You're liberals after all but, surely you must have some kind of a fucking answer
Bottom line, NO!.....he hasn't done Jack Shit!......That's the main reason why his numbers have plummeted to Carter territory.
Wasn't that Dem Congress great!The highlights of the Reagan presidency:
1. promised to balance the budget and then presided over unprecedented peacetime deficits.
2. Fixed Social Security with a big payroll tax increase.
3. Ran from the Middle East at the first sign of trouble.
4. Reformed immigration with a big amnesty bill.
5. oh, I forgot, traded arms for hostages.
Your revisionist history is just too damn funny. Baseless and loony, but funny just the same.
Lets look at REAL substantiated facts. I know you don't deal in facts but, oh well!
1. Average family income grew by well over 15%from '82 to '89
2.For the poorest fifth of amricans, real income grew by 12%
3.Families earning more than $50,000.00 went from 25% of families in 1980 to 31% in 1990.
4. The percentage of families earning less then 15,000 dropped dramatically.
5. The US treasury office of tax analysis states that those who were in the bottom fifth income bracket in 1979, 65% jumped at least two income brackets during the 80's. More made it all teh way to the top than stayed in the poorest group.
6. Taxpayers were five times more likely to increase their income than have it fall.
7.Fed reserve data shows that families with incomes between $10,000.00 and $50,000.00 A year experienced a higher percentage of growth in net worth than those in the top one-fifth income group.
8. The top 1% paid more than 25% of ALL federal income taxes in 1990, a 40% increase over 1980 according to the CBO. The bottom 60% paid 11% of fed taxes in 1990---20% less than 1980.
9. The black middle class grew from 2.6 million households with incomes of $25,000.00 or more in 1979, to 3.9 million in 1989
10. Between 1983 and '89, the total population under the poverty line decreased by 3.8 million people.
11. we experienced sustained economic growth without inflation, low unemployment, and record low interest rates. 20 million new jobs were created, 82% of which were in the higher-skilled, higher paying occupations.
12. Between '78 and '82 the number of poor blacks rose by more than 2 million. Between '82 and '89 the number fell by 400.000.
That's just twelve examples of Reagan's greatness. It can't be disputed.
What has Obama done?........Please show us!
Fact are facts. And we all know that you liberals just hate facts. Facts tend to blow your loony BS right out of the fucking water.
LMAO!
Yes. I'm sure that's it.Remember me from that other board? Let's not pretend I've never seen your opinions before, mmmkay?"Spews nothing but talking points"....well, of course you can prove that that is what I do...and all I do, right?
Eagerly awaiting your examples of me spewing talking points. Really. I am eager to see that proof.
I looked at your post here, but I'm still not seeing any evidence or quotes of mine. But perhaps you slipped and agreed with me when you said "my opinion"....admitting that it is indeed MY opinion and not some quoted talking point? Hmmmmm?
I think I asked you dufus' first to provide evidence that he's actually done something. At least something beyond shoving a BS laden healthcare fiasco down the throats of citizens who never wanted it in the first place.I think I asked once....are you submitting that Obama has done nothing?

Bottom line, NO!.....he hasn't done Jack Shit!......That's the main reason why his numbers have plummeted to Carter territory.
Then, why are you complaining? I thought you Conservatives WANTED less interference by the Government. I thought you Conservatives believed the saying that a government governs best that governs least. I thought you Conservatives would be thrilled with an Administration doing nothing.
Hmmmmm. This is an interesting attitude you have towards a President doing nothing...when Conservatives want government to do nothing.
You fail on so many levels, Butch, my boy!I think I asked you dufus' first to provide evidence that he's actually done something. At least something beyond shoving a BS laden healthcare fiasco down the throats of citizens who never wanted it in the first place.

We conservatives want the government to do what the citizens expect. Make the right calls. As they did during the late great Ronald Reagan's presidency. It takes a great leader to do so. Obama's fully proving he does not have the ability to lead. Fully proven that he hasn't a clue on how to bring this country out of it's woes. He's more concerned with protecting his image then he is in being a leader. That you cannot dispute.
So, i'll ask again. Fully recognizing that you will engage in your spin and deflect tactics that all liberals are masters at.
Show us what he's done......If you can't, then simply walk away. Put up, or simply shut up.
I'll be waiting!
...as if you'd ever be convinced to vote for him anyways.

No, if he did anything...you'd bitch saying that he's taking over people's rights and making government all powerful. If he did nothing (as you claim)...you'd bitch even tho Conservatives supposedly want government to do little.
Face it....you've been outed. You don't care if he's done anything or not. But....

Well, as usual, you failed.......Just another epic failure in a long line of liberal failures lately.
LMAO!

Looks like someone went and moved the goalposts. First it was 'show us a list of his accomplishments' now it's 'show us a list of his economic accomplishments/what he's done to be messiah to the economy' Which wasn't specified in your original question. I'm not surprised from someone who says liberals have no original thought and then makes an OP centered around the truth of someone else's words.
Unlike you, I have the ability to multi-task. I can post on several threads throughout the day. Just because It took me a few minutes after logging in to get to this thread does not qualify as ignoring you. Not to mention the 7 PM'S I had waiting for me.I'm asking you people to give evidence that he's turning the economy around.You want a list of accomplishments??

Lame response ONLY after I called you out for ignoring the thread. Then you move the goalposts, even though among what I listed were economic points. Yet you chose to ignore those. Must be nice to pick and choose the information you want to read and respond to. LOL.

LOL, do you want me to go and show all the posts you made instead of replying here? A few minutes!!! HA! TRY YESTERDAY. You didn't say anything until you got called out like a chump. You have no interest in rational discussion, just in being a loud mouth idiot who doesn't know when he's wrong.

Please stop. You're just making yourself look worse every time you post. Not that you care, which is obvious, but you're embarrassing yourself at this point and I'm actually starting to feel bad for you.
