President Obama: "I'm The Fourth Best President In American History"

Context, fellas, context. And BTW, he didn't actually utter those words. He said that his administration has accomplished more than almost any president in history. His administration has accomplished a lot. There is no denying that. And there is an upcoming election year. Of course he's going to tout his accomplishments. Why shouldn't he?

"The issue here is not gonna be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president -- with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln -- just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it," President Obama told "60 Minutes" in their "Overtime" segment.

^ And you never weren't a dick, but what ya gunna do?





So when Criminals take over your country, working within the system is the answer?

I thought working within the system was the answer for - you know - when you don't like their philosophy despite it being legal, and you'd like to overturn them legislatively, Democratically.

But here you are: calling them criminals - mr. second amendment - yet you don't do shit because you're a big lip-jibbin lil' message board tough one.

Maybe a bigger gun avy to compensate.

LOL Such desperation. Your side commits the crimes and then you scream you are not doing anything.

Damn you are a pathetic one.

Hey bud, I dont have a side, imagine that? I know I know, you assign my side for me, go 'head. No sweat off my sac, you've no problem being wrong and reaffirming your wrongness proudly. Watch in the next post - you'll do it! Quote G.T., aka your father. You will do what I said in this paragraph, in the very next post. :lol:

But naw, if *I* felt either side was CRIMINAL in their running of the Country, I'd actually care enough to go out and fucking do something - verbally - physically, I don't care. I have a child on the line, I'm not going to sit on my hands on a corny 'lil message board with tough-guy avatars and call it doing something.

But I'm not hysterical, and I don't think my President is a criminal, n'or was the last one. Those usually get impeached before anyone has to do anything, because of that whole "other side is watching" thing.

But rant on, raver. He's so criminal! Appaling you don't do squat, tbh.

For not having a side, you sure suck it up for democrats. You cant lie your way out either.

see your father was right.




Anyways, I dont suck it up for Democrats.

I chin-check message-board Conservative. Not because I disagree with all of their views, but I find many to be, frankly, hysterical ass holes. Not nice personas (on here, only, for the record), and so my "thesis" if you will of being here is to be a dick back to the dicks.

If you're in an argument with me, it's typically because you've been a jerk. Usually it's going to be based on a topic like this - where - being all huff puff about such a corny inane quote is basically just to cry about something and further your dick.
 
He listed 2 Dems and 1 Rep and then himself in listing Presidential accomplishments.

Saying that he didn't say the words; "I'm the forth best Pres ever." is splitting hairs.

His assessment is accurate, "just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history," to borrow his language. FDR, Johnson, and Lincoln are all associated with similar periods of activist government and, judging from the rhetoric around here, I would imagine most conservatives agree that he's in good company with those men when it comes to his philosophy of government. The reality is, the first two years of his presidency was one of the most productive (legislatively) in American history.

No Congress Since '60s Makes as Much Law as 111th Affecting Most Americans - Bloomberg
However history judges the 535 men and women in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate the past two years, one thing is certain: The 111th Congress made more law affecting more Americans since the “Great Society” legislation of the 1960s.

If obama had a record he would run on it. He doesn't, he can't and he won't. What he will do is say "You are better off today than you were four years ago because I said so. So there."

I think you don't know how to read, what more can I say.

I said *I* was your father, you took it to mean I was talking about *your* father. Your comprehension skills are negative eleven weak, to be referencing anyone else as idiot, etc.

It's like being in a gravity-free room and yelling to people outside of it that they suck at jumping. :lol:
