What exactly has Obama done in the nearly three years he's been president.
Broadened and deepend the influence of the state in the private lives of each individual U.S. citizen--just like a Republican statist would--building upon and leveraging those exact same statist offenses against the U.S. citizenry that he ... ahem ... "inherited" from the previous administration.
Why would anyone call him a leader?
I have no idea. I would rather ask where do you think we're being led to?
Which arguably means he took credit for Bush's effort to save it from getting what it patently deserved.
Which, BTW, was a very Jimmy Peanut thing for Bush to do.
It's rather telling that so many of these bullshit "accomplishments" are so "bi-partisan" in retrospect yet everyone is still convinced that partisan politics means the other side is just wrong.
This is intellectually dishonest. It wasn't unpopular "because healthcare is bad," it was unpopular because it empowers greater intrusiveness into the private lives of of U.S. citizens, while offering guaranteed (and coerced) premium payments to big insurance (Wall Street) at the expense of the liberties of U.S. citizens.
The way you statist dicks gripe about the way the government subsidizes "Big Oil (TM)" and "Big Pharma" (and every other example of Big Corporate whatever) you'd think this unearned bonus to Wall Street to hedge fund traders would be the primary item you'd cite for disavowing this guy.
It's also funny how all you statist asshats think "Romneycare" is such a great thing as you throw Romney under the bus for the unemployment rate in his state--while failing to draw the patently obvious line that connects making every employee a blank check drawn on the accounts of every employer and those employers' reluctance to hire--despite the fact that the passage of "Obamacare" shares a connection to an identical national unemployement crisis for the exact same reasons.
Or prolonged it by continuing the statist practice of bailing out politically well connected criminals and incompetent enterprises, at the expense of those who pay their own bills.
Not to mention that such politically motivated bailouts (in all their forms) are the precise cause of the widening wealth-gap and the diminishment of the middle class that both retarded sides of the aisle blame the other for.
Bailing out the losers stimulated nothing but debt growth.
From
146407000 employed in January 2008 to 139627000 employed in August 2011 looks like over 6.7 million jobs *not* created. I suppose you could figure job losses as an indicator of effective and successful economic stimulus; I just don't know why.
The good news, I suppose, is that Obama didn't start this patently stupid economic disaster--he just went ahead and made it worse.
Finally. I mean seriously... if was actually true that a "******" in the ranks would destroy the deployment effectivity of a squad of Marines (or other armed service group), I'd like those squad members identified so I could replace them with French regulars. I know those French dudes would surrender immediately, but at least they wouldn't run away out of fear that the enemy might kiss them.
Well, to be fair, he
had Bin Laden shot in the face ... just like any President would ... regardless of political party.
But he does legitimately get to claim this success by the same criteria Presidents legitimize such claims.
Seriously. How long did Bush have? Look how fast Obama caught up and scored.
Too bad it's all just to legitimize the PATRIOT Act.
This "accomplishment" must surely make the "disarmed and helpless electorate" lobby feel warm and cozy in their sanctimoniously morally superior regard for the safety of violent sociopaths and totalitarian hopefuls across the country.
This "accomplishment" cannot--by any means what-so-ever--be considered a good thing for anybody but those who wish to make victims of law-abiding citizens.
"Sweeping" meaning changing the stupidest abuses of patent contention? Hardly.
"Sweeping" meaning make consistent in principle application with the rest of the world? Sure.
Not that doing so is really any reform as such. I can hardly believe that a voting block so staunchly opposed to advantaging "Big Corporate [Whatever]" would celebrate the capacity file first over invent first as an accomplishment.
What?
By selling the future Christmasses of everyone who deserves them while also saving Christmas for those who deserved no Christmas at all.
Yay.
As if this wasn't already going to happen. Particularly after he sent tens of thousands of soldiers in first.
This is supposed to be an accomplishment?
After all, a Republican President got a woman on the Supreme Court first.
And Republicans were responsible for putting the first Black President in office.
What do you think they were really up to when they put up McCain/Palin?
Seriously.
Jesus.
If you post "flosses every day" I'm likely to barf.
This finally is completely legit.
Wow. $1.4 billion to cover the $112.8 billion VA budget.
Next you'll be applauding Obama for putting his own pants on ... backwards ... over his head.
So what?
Really. Not rhetorical. So what?
This ... is ... just ... LOLSOME!
I'll bet you ACTUALLY FEEL BETTER knowing that yet another government agency is looking out for you the way that all the other government agencies created to look after you should have been doing, but don't.
How is this an accomplishment? Really? You'll just type ANYTHING in here.
This is literally a "requirement" premised upon bailing out incompetent lenders.
He didn't cut the prescription drug cost by 50% for those paying for the drugs though.
THAT would be an actual accomplishment.
BUSH: 136559000 employed in Jan. 2000; and 146407000 employed in Jan. 2008 = +9.8 million jobs.
OBAMA: 146407000 employed in Jan. 2008; and 139627000 employed in Aug. 2011 = -6.8 million jobs.
Apparently these private sector job creation policies cost the nation almost 7 million jobs.
Well, at least Obama didn't lose as many jobs as were created during the Bush administration ... I suppose that's some kind of accomplishment.
What you're really saying that Obama "accomplished" is to continue with the actual accomplishment achieved by Reagan as START, which was continued by Bush as SORT, yes?
And he's really done very little about all that "inheritance"--except, of course that "deregulated Wall Street" business, as Wall Street is still plenty regulated enough that regulatory capture can result in the continued bailouts of politically well connected fiscal incompetence.
Nonsense. The Republicans
put Obama in office.
McCain is a far more reliable Democrat than Obama--OBVIOUSLY so--and Palin has all the (Vice) Presidential attractiveness of ... well ... a lipstick wearing pitbull.
Seriously. Just look at the candidate field in the Republican primaries ... shit, just look at that field of retards they're putting forward now. For Republicans who are serious about Republican policies, Obama is plenty Republican for their purposes--that's why they're fielding all these superstitious goobers. They are pandering to the frothy (yet minority) dumbasses in the religious right, while alienating everyone else with a decent sense of reason--including Conservative and Republican voters. They're doing this to a purpose--to keep Obama in office.
Noone from the party of Jim Crow has any business making this accusation at the party of emancipation.
Do we really need to list Republican achievements during the six LOOOOONG years they held both houses, the presidency and had a majority in the Supreme Court? It's a very short list. So short I couldn't think of a single positive thing.
That's only because you're guily of the same sin you accuse Republicans of committing.
Imagine what Obama could have done if Republicans could get past his skin color?
If we accept that Republicans actually have some problem with Obama's skin color, I'd still rather not consider the depth and breadth to which statism would be inflicted upon us in your fantasy land.
