The idea that Obama is not an effective leader is just dumb.
unless you actually look at his pathetic record.
9% unemployment
First downgrade of US credit in history.
$4.00 a gallon gasoline
4.5 trillion in new debt.
Lost the largest number of seats in Congress since 1938.
He should be happy he's not Japanese, he'd have been expected to fall on his sword by now.
Yeah..lets have a look.
Mocking in Red...
-Healthcare bill passed.-To bad it'll be declared unconstitutional.
-Dodd/Frank passed.Foxes watching the hens.
-Financial infrastructure rescued.Yes, Bush did that. Not that you'll give him credit.
-Osama bin Laden killed.Good thing Bush rebuilt the military to make that possible.
-Pirates killed.So what? besides, the pirates are still very much in business.
-No significant large scale terrorist attacks on the homeland.Hasn't been since 2001.
-Al Qaeda disrupted and practically destroyed.Again, happened on Bush's watch.
-Improved relations with other nations.Not really.
-SALT passed. So what?
-Lilly Ledbetter fair pay act passed.And again, you see this as a good thing? Telling employers what they have to pay people, based on what a bureaucrat decides? That's no way to run a business.
-Torture stopped.Yes, I worry that people who want to murder me aren't suffering any discomfort. NOT!
-DADT repealed.And lots of good people will leave the military as a result. Others will lose their careers when the tolerance nazis get done with them.
-Unemployment down from 10%.But not by much...that's the point.
-Private companies making record profits.I thought you guys considered thata bad thing?
-Stock market up to 11/12k from 7K.And now back down again.
-Record number of deportations of illegal aliens.Again, I thought you guys considered that a bad thing. I'd take it a lot more seriously if he didn't keep trying to sneak amnesty in through the back door.
-Improved benefits for Veterans.Besides the fact we have no money for that.
-BP made to pay for damages to NOLA.BP was one of Obama's biggest contributors. they got a pass.
You guys got a weird idea of "failure".
Here's my definition. It's the Reagan defintion. "Are you better off than you were four years ago?"
In my case, in the case of everyone I know, the answer is a resounding "no"!
