The Big Bad Wolf.
Well, you can go on if you wish. But you still haven't posted what he failed at.
Failed to close GITMO
failed to remove the Patriot Act
failed to lower UE
Failed to bring jobs back
Failed to control the debt
These are common knowledge. Why would you ignore them?
1. he should have closed gitmo... but that's not something the right is all cranky about. in fact, they should be kissing his butt for caving to them...
2. same answer
3. yeah, well that's hard to do when you're downsizing government jobs and undermining the recovery
4. same answer
5. he didn't promise to control the debt... that's for righties...
so what you're saying is that you don't like him, so it doesn't matter if he's on the left or right of an issue.
now...here's failure... if he were pushing rightwingnut social agenda trash... or if he were picking hack justices like thomas.
so i'll pass.... until the right offers someone who wouldn't make me lose my lunch.
1. He wanted to close GITMO but not with an executive order. And looking at many of the cases, they would be impossible to try in civilian court because of torture and other improper legal procedures that were employed (Restricting Habeas, Restricted access to legal council, Failure to inform prisoners of their rights, etc). That and Congress put up a law that made it impossible to try any GITMO prisoner in civilian court. A very tough situation.
2. He really dropped the ball there. That should have been vetoed.
3. In October..before any of his stimulus was disbursed, UE was at 10.0. It's at 9.1 now. So that's incorrect. Even Romney acknowledges that the President has been sucessful at this but that it's moving far to slow. I agree. And it's because President Obama has "listened" to his Republican opponents. He really has to come to realize..that at this point a poor economy favors them getting control of the white house. And his Republican opponents put that as their number 1 priority. Mitch Mcconnell pointed that out.
4. Some jobs are gone forever. Thanks to the Bush administration which changed overtime rules and provided a tax holiday for overseas profits.
5. The debt exploded because of the Bush administration. President Obama would have had to roll back the Tax cuts, eliminated the Department of Homeland Security, immediately have stopped two wars, vetoed TARP and the GM bailout, and roll backed the Medicare drug benefit to have any effect on the debt that was noticable. All of which would have been radical..and would have "killed the patient"..which is what Republicans want anyway..so they can get back into power..to finish the job. That job being..kill government...and privatize it.
