He has a very good reason to fear the future as any thinking american should the fact BOTH parties are corrupt and neither represent the people.there is no hope for the future of america or the world as long as we have this corrupt two party system of demopublicans and reprocrats.we need a third party president,one who will serve the people instead of the bankers which by the way i hope that avatar is sarcastic since if you vote for another bush or another clinton,you are part of the problem why america has been ruined.
the last REAL president we had who did not tow the party line and served the people instead of the bankers paid the price for it on nov 22nd 1963. so of course he fears the future.
That's your opinion and you're entitled to it.....doesn't mean you're right. Obama has done many things that have benefitted the middle class.....he could have done more if he didn't have to fight the opposition - "The Party of NO"....!
A LONG List Of President Obama s Accomplishments With Citations Beezodog s Place
First, what are the "many things" that he's done that directly benefitted the Middle Class? Secondly, he was elected by the largest margin in history. Yet, not once did he ask the American people to stand with him against Congress. He never once used the power of the people to assist him in pushing through an agenda that included a rebirth of this once great nation. He ignored the tremendous support given him at the election polls. So, he has no one to blame except himself. After he was elected the first time, the American people would've stood with him on the steps of the Capitol and called Congress out into the street. Don't blame Congress for Obama's failures, blame Obama for Obama's failures. He could have enlisted the power of the people a la MLK and lead the people arm in arm against our anti-America Congress if he had wanted to. He had tremendous support shortly after he was elected to the oval office.
Now, if you can dispute what I have just said, by all means do so. I'm anxious to hear how you're going to excuse the total lack of leadership from Mr. Obama. Again, don't blame Congress for his failures as leader and as president, he had the support of the majority of Americans that would've stood by his side against Congress if he had asked. I'll wait for your response. Thanks.
If you didn't bother to read the article, then there is no point in responding to you. If you did read the article and weren't able to figure it out.......then you're too obtuse for me to bother trying to explain it to you. It doesn't matter what the people wanted........the obstinate Republicans in Congress were not about to do the will of the people. We all saw that over and over....maybe you had your blinders on.
Here are just a few of the things...in the article.....
combating waste and abuse.
save the federal government money.
signed the Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Actto stop waste, fraud and abuse in the defense procurement and contracting system.
signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,
In his first year, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act created and sustained 2.1 million jobs and stimulated the economy 3.5%.
He created the Making Home Affordable home refinancing plan.
(1) - "Combating waste and abuse" - Please, you're kidding, right? Then please explain Afghanistan, excessive military spending, the care and support of illegal immigrants,, unnecessary government travel, Medicare and Medicaid fraud and corruption, foreign aid, subsidies to Brazilian corn crops, bribes paid to Iran and North Korea, "The Fence", supplying weapons to drug lords and terrorists, building mosques on foreign soil, the excessive number of military bases on foreign soil, exploring the far reaches of the universe, pork spending, no-bid government contracts ( Halliburton ), subsidies to rich farmers and big oil, etc.
(2) - "Save the federal government money" - What? - Please read my response to "combating waste and abuse" listed above.
(3) - "....fraud and abuse in the defense procurement and contracting system" - Seriously? Do you know the cost and "over-runs" associated with the F-35 and other planes? Please research defense spending and cost over-runs. Also, as mentioned above, check no-bid contracts such as the ones issued to Halliburton. Check the cost stats for Afghanistan and see how much money can not be accounted for.
(4) - "Signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" - Again, Pleeeeeease -- How has that helped the Middle Class? That money did absolutely zero for anyone except the financial institutions and Wall Street. Check the continuing conditions on Main Street America.
(5) - "Created Jobs" - Are you serious? - Check the REAL unemployment numbers. Check the number of unemployed over the age of 50. Check the number of college grads flipping burgers and living with parents. Research our jobs market and see the types of jobs available. Our jobs consist of part-time, low-wage, and temporary employment. What a joke.
(6) "Making Homes Affordable" --- Oh give me a break. We have less home ownership, thus the reason that rent is going through the roof. The refinancing was to correct bad mortgage loans that scammed buyers into adjustable rate mortgages. Many mortgage companies were heavily fined as a result.
Again, what has he done to help the Middle Class as a whole? Remember, the Middle Class experienced unemployment, lost equity in their homes, some of their pension plans are in trouble, they get very little interest on savings accounts, the cost of living has increased, health care cost has increased, etc.
You'll have to do a lot better than what you've done so far to show any benefits for the Middle Class.
the game has ended,time to get out the crying towel in cry in defeat.lol
