Obama's list of accomplishes in regards to the economy

[California Girl]

Of course, we now know that the stimulus actually created 2.6 million jobs.

really? then where are they?
the only jobs the Obama created was more Guberment jobs for his buddies. by creating new government agencies to help the poor citizens in their finances..cause they be too stupid with them..

if you had actually read the list, you would see that a site was provided where anyone could monitor what the stimulus was being spent on. Those 2.5 million jobs were all private sector jobs.

You also realize that 'self reporting' from stimulus projects left the entire clusterfuck open to fraudulent claims, right? Or are you ignoring that because it does not suit your political view?

Also, those '2.5 million jobs' were not all private sector. That is a lie. Outright. Lie.

 

[California Girl]

That is a complete lie.

You find me one independent study that discounts the success of the stimulus and I will raise you SIX.

Calm down there leftie. I thought you wanted some civil discourse.

You know, I feel more open-minded being a leftie, so I don't mind the label.

You might 'feel' more 'open-minded' but the facts do not support your 'feeling'. You're a hack. There is nothing open-minded about hacks.

You can check for yourself where the spending goes. It isn't hard.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

yeah, he said the unemployment wouldn't surpass 8 percent. Guess what, it want to 10 percent than back to 9 percent for 2.5 years. Fail!

You "conservatives" surely do seem to enjoy a good ass-kickin', from-time-to-time.

[Mr. Shaman]

Given the economic mess he inherited, he's done okay.

I doubt anyone could have done much better given the divided nature of Congress.

.....While Teabaggers are the type who think making the Minimum Monthly Payments is a sufficient-enough effort.

Mitt Romney:
Auto Industry Rescue Worked​

"In an interview with ABC News on Wednesday morning, Willard once again rewrote history on his position about the government's rescue of the auto industry.

Willard wants to take credit for favoring a managed bankruptcy -- which is something the Obama administration proposed early on -- and simultaneously bash the bailout."

EDIT: I apologize for the double posting, and I meant "accomplishments" in my title.

My guess the list is going to be as good as you posting abilities.

He pushed through and signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as “the stimulus package,” despite the fact that not one Republican voted for that bill. In addition, he launched recovery.gov, so that taxpayers could track spending from the Act. The Recovery Act Recovery.gov - Tracking the Money

Recovery dot gov was an accomplishment? ISn't that the site that had jobs being saved or created in congressional districts that do not exist?

In his first year, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act created and sustained 2.1 million jobs and stimulated the economy 3.5%. UPDATE 2-US stimulus added up to 2.1 mln jobs in Q4 2009-CBO | Reuters

And it only cost of just over 4.5%, which makes it a net drain on the economy.

He completed the massive TARP financial and banking rescue plan, and recovered virtually all of its costs. U.S. Bank Rescue Program Gets Overhaul TARP Might Make Money - 24/7 Wall St.

That was Bush's idea, not Obama's, you can tell because it forced banks that did not need it to take money anyway, which made it really easy, of costly, for them to pay it back.

He created the Making Home Affordable home refinancing plan. Making Home Affordable

Are you talking about the program that only helped people who did not need help? That was a great idea, wasn't it?

He oversaw the creation of more jobs in 2010 alone than Bush did in eight years. It’s Official: More Private Sector Jobs Created In 2010 Than During Entire Bush Years | NEWS JUNKIE POST

You really do like that half-truth, don't you? Remember, a half truth is still a lie.

PolitiFact | Nancy Pelosi says jobs increased faster in 2010 than in eight years under Bush

He oversaw investment in updated and improved manufacturing processes. PolitiFact | The Obameter: Create an Advanced Manufacturing Fund to invest in peer-reviewed manufacturing processes

That came from TARP, which was Bush's program. At best you can say he allocated the funds.

He also doubled funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership which is designed to improve manufacturing efficiency. PolitiFact | The Obameter: Double funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, a program that encourages manufacturing efficiency

Your own link points out that the funding was not doubled. Interesting, to say the least.

He signed the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act giving the federal government more tools to investigate and prosecute fraud in every corner of the financial system. It also created a bipartisan Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission to investigate the financial fraud that led to the economic meltdown. Obama Signs Housing and Fraud Bill, Praises Congress for “Most Productive” Period - ABC News

How many charges have been filed as a result of the law? Was he only playing politics here and not actually doing anything?

By the way, can you explain how this was helpful to the economy if it actually resulted in what it was supposed to?

He signed the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act, which was designed to to protect consumers from unfair and deceptive credit card practices. Fact Sheet: Reforms to Protect American Credit Card Holders | The White House

Another law that got its start under Bush. Can you tell me why Reid never brought it up for a vote until after Obama was in office?

He increased infrastructure spending after years of neglect. Poll: Americans Strongly Back Increase in Infrastructure Spending - US News and World Report

Years of neglect? Seriously?

By the way, your link does not do anything but talk about a poll that says Americans support infrastructure spending, it contains no numbers on how much it was increased, or even if it was increased.

Through the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009, he and Congressional Democrats provided tax credits to first-time home buyers, which helped the U.S. housing market recovery. http://bit.ly/dZgXXw The Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit Program (Military Edition) | The Mortgage Reports : Today's Mortgage Rates & Strategy

It helped it recover? When did that happen? Last time I looked at the numbers the numbers were still way down, and had not bottomed out yet.

He initiated a $15 billion plan designed to encourage increased lending to small businesses.
Remarks by the President to small business owners community lenders and members of Congress | The White House

Interesting. Are you aware that the speech you cited was over a year before the program you are crediting him with was passed?

He created business.gov, which allows for online collaboration between small businesses and experts re managing a business. (The program has since merged with SBA.gov.) Business.gov - Official Business Link to the U.S. Government

Not exactly a new thing, the SBA has been doing that for years. All you can really credit him for is giving the program its own domain name.

He played a lead role in getting the G-20 Summit to commit to a $1.1 trillion deal to combat the global financial crisis. G-20 Pact Has New Rules and $1.1 Trillion for Loans and Trade - NYTimes.com

How did that work out again?

He took steps to improve minority access to capital. PolitiFact | The Obameter: Increase minority access to capital

Commendable, but what does it have to with the economy?

He created a $60 billion bank to fund infrastructure improvements such as roads and bridges. PolitiFact | The Obameter: Create a $60 billion bank to fund roads and bridges

Do you know that the bank doesn't exist yet? Giving Obama credit for things Bush did is one thing, but how on Earth can you give him credit for things that have not even happened?

He implemented an auto industry rescue plan, and saved as many as 1 million jobs. Obama unveils plan to help U.S. auto industry_English_Xinhua

He gave GM and Chrysler to the unions and screwed over middle class people who had their pensions tied up in those companies, quite an accomplishment. He should be a Republican.

Many are of the opinion that he saved the entire auto industry, and even the economy of the entire Midwest. Obama Saved The Auto Industry And The Economy Of The Midwest. Do Voters Care? | The New Republic

Many are of the opinion that Obama stopped the oceans from rising. I want actual facts, not opinions from a few fringe idiots.

Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, he saved at least 300,000 education jobs, such as teachers, principals, librarians, and counselors that would have otherwise been lost. Archived: Recovery Act Recipients Report Funding Continues to Support over 300,000 Education Jobs

No he didn't, none of those teachers would have been unemployed. School districts hand out pink slips every year in order to scare people into giving them more money, yet they hire all the teachers back even if they don't get it.

Provided funding to states and the Department of Homeland Security to save thousands of police and firefighter jobs from being cut during the recession. PolitiFact | The Obameter: Increase funding for local emergency planning

Why should the federal government support police and firefighters, or teachers? Shouldn't that come from the local level? Besides, all it did was delay the inevitable, when that funding ran out police, and firefighters, were laid off.

He used recovered TARP money to fund programs at local housing finance agencies in California, Florida, Nevada, Arizona and Michigan. Obama unveils $1.5 billion in housing aid - Business - Stocks & economy - msnbc.com

Again, Bush program.

Your ass is probably a socialist welfare nation all by itself. Maybe if you got up out of your parents basement you could loose some weight.

Does the fact you were so easily able to refute every point he made surprise you in the least?

 

[Avatar4321]

Well, he gave us:

Close to double digit unemployment
inflation
even more debt
corruption
political cronies recieving tax money.

You know, I feel more open-minded being a leftie, so I don't mind the label.

How you feel is irrelevant to being open minded. Feeling and thoughts aren't the same.

Not at all. I usually don't bother, but I was bored today.

I remember Douglas Brinkley ( one of the Presidenti*al Historians that meets with PBO ) saying on c-span that shortly after the President entered the WH, he had several historian over for dinner and in a private moment, Mr Brinkley asked him what he thought of the country's situation ...Preside*nt Obama told him " It is far worse than we thought ".

We knew that Bush hid those facts from us for 8 years. Nonetheless, we have expected this president to do far more than we have expected from any other. We all know that the office of the United States president has very limited powers and we all remember the excuses that are STILL being made for the most inept and dangerous failure of a president we have ever known. And, if President Obama is indeed a one-term president, the rw's will make excuses for the pub who takes his place. And, just as we hear the fiction that the debt is all Obama's fault, we will also hear the outright lie that the economy is his fault as well.

BTW, the figure of 'more than 3million jobs', created AND/OR saved by President Obama is accurate if you consider ancillary jobs.

In a similar vein, it is astounding that anyone could criticize the FLOTUS for working for the health and future of our children but that's what we've seen. She wants good quality food for ONE MEAL A DAY, meaning the rw's can still feed their kids McDonalds for dinner and donuts for breakfast. But, they would rather have fat sick kids than allow them to eat ONE good quality meal a day - BECAUSE it came from Michelle Obama.

$arah Palin brought cookies and ignorance to that fight and the fat and stupid rw's loved it. But, fresh produce and fruit from our First Lady? Never.

That''s how much they hate having a BLACK man in the WHITE house.

So, the President who has been called the dumbest man on Earth by liberals, is now suddenly smart enough to have hidden the depth of the economic situation this country was in from the entire world?

You job figures are nonsense.

George W. Bush inherited a strong economy, a budget surplus, and a nation at peace.

Eight years later, he left Obama with a shattered economy, a trillion dollar deficit, and two useless wars.

Obama saved the country from another Great Depression, rebuilt GM, reformed healthcare, reformed Wall Street, doubled the stock market, created 7 straight quarters of GDP growth, created 22 straight months of private sector job growth, got Bin Laden, got Gaddafi, and got us out of Iraq.

And now with the automatic spending cuts and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts in 2012, Obama has solved the deficit problem as well.

Obama has done a very good job.

Obama never said it would. It only said this in the stimulus package. Obama himself said that unemployment would jump to 10% by the end of the year just 4 months after the stimulus was released. This was before it had any affect.

Either way, the WH admitted the contradiction.

And is that all you have to say about the entire list?

Liar.

{“In January, the incoming administration predicted in a white paper study that without a huge stimulus package, unemployment would reach just over 8%, and would be contained at under 8% with a stimulus package.”}

Obama Said The Stimulus Would Cap Unemployment At 8 Percent

Here is what Porkulus actually did for us.

{It is difficult to properly calculate the effects of the 2009 ARRA bill, as it was a nation-wide program. Though employment and growth failed to respond to ARRA as the Administration had suggested, fiscal stimulus advocates have argued that employment levels would have been lower still without the program.
.
.
.

The results suggest that though the program did result in 2 million jobs “created or saved” by March 2010, net job creation was statistically indistinguishable from zero by August of this year. Taken at face value, this would suggest that the stimulus program (with an overall cost of $814 billion) worked only to generate temporary jobs at a cost of over $400,000 per worker}

New Fed study suggests net job creation from Porkulus was … zero « Hot Air

Heckuvajob Barry..

 

[Uncensored2008]

That is a complete lie.

You find me one independent study that discounts the success of the stimulus and I will raise you SIX.

You're a partisan buffoon.

The fed put the sustainable jobs at zero.

Obama and his "Economic Team" attempted to use the Keynesian Economic Theory.
Can you name any country that used Keynesian Economic to solve their economic problem?
It is only in the delusional world of the cool aid drinkers and the left wingers that Keynesian Economics works.
Forget the Obama talking points. The only thing he has done is increased the National Debt and failed to the create conditions for Business to create jobs.

 

[Stephanie]

The best thing the Obama can do to help the economy and get companies hiring again is to announce he Resigns...and takes all his comrades in arms in his administration with him..
