For the liberals

Obama's "accomplishments" aren't necessarily good for the nation. That's the problem.

Why on earth would it be good trumpet achievement when your achievement leads to problems in the nation?

There is no way on earth you read that article.

None.

I started to read it... until it credited Obama with 'taking out' Bin Laden. He did not 'take out' Bin Laden, that was SEAL Team 6. He just signed off the order. I find it offensive that politicians take credit for actions undertaken by our military.... unless, of course, you have evidence that Obama actually went on the raid. He's a politician.... the most dangerous thing he does on any given day is disagree with Michelle. I don't count that as anywhere near as dangerous as what our military face daily.

For the record... I would say the same thing no matter who the President is.
 
I know the conservatives don't like the site, don't like the man, won't believe the list or the citations, but there are liberal posters here, and I am sharing with them.

A LONG List of President Obama’s Accomplishments! With Citations! | Addicting Info

If you’re one of those folks who thinks President Obama is a “disappointment,” you haven’t been paying attention the last few years. And those of you who try to draw comparisons with the Bush Administration should put away the hallucinogens and have your memory checked. If you were in a coma for the eight Bush Years, I apologize and forgive you. But please join the real world. So far, this president has done most of what he said he would do if elected; imagine what he could have done by now if progressives had supported him and not given him a Congress that doesn’t look at him as if he’s the demon seed.

Not only is he NOT a “disappointment,” he’s pretty much the opposite. And no, I don’t just say that because he took out Osama bin Laden, helped Libya determine their own destiny for the first time in a while, and because he seems able to handle international incidents without starting a new war. The guy does nearly everything we elect a president to do, and he doesn’t brag about it constantly.

Is he perfect? No, he’s human. Does he deserve some criticism? I suppose, but I must admit I haven’t seen any complaints that were of based on anything having to do with the real world. One I can’t forgive him for is pulling Janet Napolitano out of Arizona. But the thing is, on balance, he’s mostly stellar. Besides, criticism about certain specific problems is one thing; taking on an overall “Obama sucks” meme not only has the potential to put Willard Romney into power, it’s also a lie. Just because you wanted a president who would give you a glitter-farting unicorn and didn’t quite get that doesn’t mean he’s not doing well at the job we hired him for.


What follows is a PARTIAL list of Obama’s accomplishments so far. Unlike many such lists, there is a link to a citation supporting every single one.

A few comments:

1) This is not a list of accomplishments but a list of things President Obama has done. Things listed here include giving a speech, appointing lots of people to newly created government positions, calling on other countries to do this or that, ...

2) Obviously he has done quite a lot of things during the last 3.5 years. Nobody could seriously claim otherwise. The question is how one judges the things he's done; Personally I would say it's too early to judge on many things.

3) Most fundamentally, what this list points to (and it's a criticism that can be levelled at many other Presidents as well) is the fact that President Obama has done way too much, created way too many new agencies, government positions, bureaucratic regulations, and unnecessary legislation.
 
Obama’s success rate in winning congressional votes on issues was an unprecedented 96.7% for his first year in office

No shit??? With Dem-Majority in House and Senate?? :lol:


Sorry.
That's as far as I could go

:lol:
what Dem super majority for a year? Kennedy got really sick and then he died, a republican took his spot, scott brown.....

fyi-obama, who i did NOT vote for, did not have a super majority for a year.... that's just 'bull mal' as Strollingbones would say.... :)

And good morning Horty!

Under Obama's command. Bullshit on the Michelle comment. :lol: Ridiculous.
 
LOL, passing a bunch of worthless legislation that hasn't done a damn thing to help our economy, high unemployment, etc, is called achievements.
 
As for the rest....I see:

Spend
Create new agencies
Create new regulations
Spend

**repeat**


:eusa_shhh:

Except, unlike Bush, Obama's "new agencies and regulations" were funded and actually helpful to those in the lower and middle classes.

Bush's new "regulations and agencies", like the change in overtime rules, prescription drug benefit and department of homeland security..were largely unfunded and favored the 1%.
 
Yup.

So noted, BD.

All in all a good bid, given the economic and political mess he inherited.


I bitch about the things that I do not approve of done, thus far but that does not mean I think his admin thus far has been a failure.


Given a choice between Obama and Romney?

Well, it's a drop dead cinch that Romney will not be getting my vote.

You're absolutely and utterly wrong.

UE has steadily gone done. The Stock Market has reached new highs. Manufacturing is coming back to this country. The rate at which women in the work force are paid at..is protected by law. US companies are seeing historic profit.

The problem with you guys..is that you started out wanting Obama to fail..and then never changed the mindset..despite the reality.

And what you want to put up in the white house..is a guy spouting the same sort of nonsense that got us to the brink of economic disaster.

1.) He's done far more then call on countries to do this or that. He reached an agreement with the Russians to reduce the amount of Nuclear weapons in the world. And working with the Russians and Eastern Europeans, the Obama administration locked down a good amount of loose nuclear material in the region.

2.) To early on some things, true. But others have been working pretty well. As posted above, UE numbers are going down. General Motors and most of the auto industry in this country are thriving. Manufacturing is up. And companies are making profits.

3.) Which flies in the face of actual employment numbers in the public sector. Those jobs have gone away by 600K...so government is actually contracting. The new "regulations" came in lieu of putting people in jail. But heck..most of them..were watered down.
 
Well with all those things that he has done, we know exactly why we are at almost 6 Trillion in the hole, in 3 1/2 years.
What has all that done? .9% more jobs (not even 1%) and no plan to pay down the debt.

GM still went bankrupt what a waste of tax dollars.
Conservatives said it should have done that in the first place and we were right. The company finally righted its self after filing for bankruptcy and it would not have wasted those tax dollars. That is exactly what the law is for.
Tax dollars wasted on many green energy projects.
We still have plenty of tent cities across America.
Conservatives are still right, that the private sector creates jobs, not the Government.
Yep that's just a wonderful record of what he has (hasn't) done.
Trillions of dollars spent to try and create jobs and all we have to show for it? .9%
 
Obama has been successful in some areas and the mess created by Bush in 8 years will not be fixed over night.

If Obama has a big failing it was his bipartisan support for congress especially with a tea party house that spits on every offer to pass legislation the country need to work it's way out of the ditch it was forced into. I think Obama has learned from this and will be a much better president in his second term.

I have no way of knowing whether Avatar4321 read the article, but it is certainly possible to object to some of the achievements listed. For example, I'm not sure that we really needed more security along the US-Mexico border (how much would be enough?).

If we allowed the states to enforce immigration laws, we may need none. The states (our taxes) pay out the nose for illegals, but the states are helpless, when the Feds leave them high and dry.

That economic disaster would never had happened in the first place,had Dems not created Fannie and Freddie in the fist place. The private sector could have done a much better job at getting affordable housing for the poor.
 
Why would any conservative bother to read the OP article? They don’t need facts, they have dogma; post #2 is proof of that.

Another example of liberal projection, or as I have always put it, liberals condemn in others what they refuse to see in themselves. ;)

fyi-obama, who i did NOT vote for, did not have a super majority for a year.... that's just 'bull mal' as Strollingbones would say.... :)

And good morning Horty!

Oh oh poor baby, Obama! And Bush had Jumpin Jim Jeffords who became an independent to give the Democrats a slim majority Bush's first year.

DIDN'T STOP BUSH!

AND THEN THERE WAS REAGAN! REAGAN NEVER HAD A MAJORITY and look what he accomplished!

So, whine some more about POOR BABY OBAMA, doesn't cut it, because some of us are old enough to remember real leaders who had it a lot rougher and STILL were able to accomplish great things.

That's what you call a LEADER instead of a WHINER.

You're right, Michelle just nags the rest of us, including lunch box inspections for kids.

Here we go with the "1%" BS! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

You want a translation for that?

Bush helped people WHO WORKED FOR A LIVING.

Obama helps people who THINK THEY ARE ENTITLED TO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WORK FOR.

And it's pretty much obvious, on display, and disgusting the average American voter, especially the independents.

Why do you think Romney is ahead of Obama with independents in every poll that tracks "likely voters?"
