Failure.

MURDERING millions.
Based on manipulated Global Warmer-Coolering hoax data, WTG.
I have to admit, it seems to have worked, since we just experienced the COLDEST WINTER TEMPERATURES IN 100 YEAR!
Oh...wait...they haven't gone into effect yet...too bad, so close.
That accomplished nothing.
Such a dismal failure that Obama had to move the goalposts for the THIRD TIME to hide the the lack of stimulating any job growth.

Obama was correct when he promised unemployment would not be reach 8% if we passed $787 BILLION stimulus...it reach and SURPASSED 8% and has been hovering above TEN PERCENT for months.
And last week it was reported the "shovel ready projects" that were touted by Obama did not yield ONE JOB.

Wow...he "formally announced" he was following George Bush's timetable for withdrawl from Iraqi...an unbelievable accomplishment.
Again, this does seem a little extreme, given that Obama has kept George W Bush’s defense secretary, kept Bush’s timetable for Iraq withdrawal, drastically increased troops and overhauled strategy in Afghanistan and declared emphatically, last week, that “we are at war”, while ordering a thorough review of intelligence-gathering.
A colossal waste of tax payer money. California prop 71 has prove Embrionic Stem Cells are a dead end.
California's Proposition 71 Failure

Bioethics: Five years after a budget-busting $3 billion was allocated to embryonic stem cell research, there have been no cures, no therapies and little progress. So supporters are embracing research they once opposed.
California's Proposition 71 was intended to create a $3 billion West Coast counterpart to the National Institutes of Health, empowered to go where the NIH could not — either because of federal policy or funding restraints on biomedical research centered on human embryonic stem cells.
Supporters of the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative, passed in 2004, held out hopes of imminent medical miracles that were being held up only by President Bush's policy of not allowing federal funding of embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) beyond existing stem cell lines and which involved the destruction of embryos created for that purpose.
Five years later, ESCR has failed to deliver and backers of Prop 71 are admitting failure. The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the state agency created to, as some have put it, restore science to its rightful place, It not only has treatedis diverting funds from ESCR to research that has produced actual therapies and treatments: adult stem cell research. real people with real results; it also does not come with the moral baggage ESCR does.
To us, this is a classic bait-and-switch, an attempt to snatch success from the jaws of failure and take credit for discoveries and advances achieved by research Prop. 71 supporters once cavalierly dismissed. We have noted how over the years that when funding was needed, the phrase "embryonic stem cells" was used. When actual progress was discussed, the word "embryonic" was dropped because ESCR never got out of the lab.
Prop 71 had a 10-year mandate and by 2008, as miracle cures looked increasingly unlikely, a director was hired for the agency with a track record of bringing discoveries from the lab to the clinic. "If we went 10 years and had no clinical treatments, it would be a failure," says the institute's director, Alan Trounson, a stem cell pioneer from Australia. "We need to demonstrate that we are starting a whole new medical revolution."
The institute is attempting to do that by funding adult stem cell research. Nearly $230 million was handed out this past October to 14 research teams. Notably, only four of those projects involve embryonic stem cells.

This is an accomplishment?!?!?
Hooray, Iran is disarming their nuclear weapons, Yemen isn't sending bombers to blow up airplanes over American cities and we are no longer at war with Al-Quaida.
Hmmm.....seems like another non-accomplishment.
I'm beginning to see a trend forming.
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SANTA MONICA, Calif. — October 28, 2009 — Edmunds.com, the premier resource for online automotive information, has determined that Cash for Clunkers cost taxpayers $24,000 per vehicle sold.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Nearly 690,000 vehicles were sold during the Cash for Clunkers program, officially known as CARS, but Edmunds.com analysts calculated that only 125,000 of the sales were incremental. The rest of the sales would have happened anyway, regardless of the existence of the program.
Ironically, the average transaction price for a new vehicle in August 2009 was only $26,915 minus an average cash rebate of $1,667.

Incredible...it only cost taxpayers $24,000 for each vehicle sold under Cash for Clunkers. And each of those vehicles cost on average a little over $25,000.
That's amazing.
Bottom line...What Has President Obama Accomplished
Nothing.
