[Trajan]

Obama got more than 100,000 of our troops out of Iraq.

he did huh? okay then...

Hizz wyfe B makin duh bess sweetptatuh pie.
You gots whuchoo B votin foe.

are you trying to talk like a black person?.....you sound like a horses ass....

 

[mudwhistle]

I like the fact that he seems to be a genuine family man. Loves his wife and thinks the world of his kids. I don't care if your left or right there's not a damned thing wrong with that.

Sorry...but Bush was too.

Do you think he'll get credit for it???

Seems Obama gets credit for just doing what he's supposed to do for his family. Be a man.

 

[Trajan]

I commend him for his attempts to introduce some changes into the k-12 abyss. I give race to the top mixed kudos but I try and read whatever he says on education and I think he does know deep down the trajectory sux and he knows the issues we have and is trying to find ways in and around a moneyed constituency of this and his party, which is never easy...we'll see next year where this goes.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Good thread idea. Thanks!

Not surprisingly there are a lot of people unable to think of 1 single thing they like about him that isn't a backhanded compliment. What a shame. This is why you are considered extremists and the true RINO's.

Now I'll list one thing I like that he did: (I'm sure I will get attacked for this one)
1) Prevent insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.

you wont get any shit from me on that one......and i like it were they cant suddenly drop you if you get "TOO" sick for their liking...

Something good about Obama?

He's basically allowed what the right wants to happen his whole 2 years, despite holding super majority in Congress. Now that we got the House.......he'll basically be a Republican president at the rate he is giving in to us.

I'm voting Obama 2012. We'll get what we want anyway.....and if something goes wrong, blame the Dem president!!!

 

[mudwhistle]

The only good thing I can say for him....and this was told to me by a friend...is that he's an example for African-Americans in this country.

My nephew is Somali. He told me years ago that a black would never be elected Prez. I told him that it would happen sooner then he thought.

Now my nephew has found out once again that all of the things I told him when he was a kid wasn't a bunch of

 

[Harry Dresden]

and dubbed Republicans which is roughly half of the American population "hostage takers" he has a way with the talking points don't he?

thats where the shitty leadership part comes in....which is a big negative point with him....not a very good leader....

The new hires haven't been sworn in yet. Wait until that happens then he will be on our terms

Ok.. But it hardly sets him apart from the crowd.

Seriously?

You don't mean his peers do you?

I think it does set him apart from most politicians... heck, most celebrities.

Your son by age 21 should be making it on his own and not depending on mommy and daddy for healthcare coverage. I guess this is how the government has dumb down Amweica. adults depending on a handout as long as they can.

my opinion on this is....if Jill and her husband are paying the increased premiums that come with this.....why would anyone care?.....

 

[Jack Fate]

I can definitely say something good about Obama. He only has two more years and that is a good thing.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Signed financial reform law prohibiting banks from engaging in proprietary trading (trading the bank's own money to turn a profit, often in conflict with their customers' interests).

Reversed 'global gag rule', allowing US aid to go to organizations regardless of whether they provide abortions

Signed the Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act to stop fraud and wasteful spending in the defense procurement and contracting system

What the fuck has Obama done so far?

And so much more. It's hard to keep track of it all.

Funny, when I asked for a single Republican accomplishment over 8 years of Bush, no one, and I mean no one could name a single positive accomplishment, only negative ones.

and then here comes the king of the hacks.....doing great until the last sentence.....Dean if this was a thread about remembering Jimi Hendrix, im sure you would have found away to bring the GOP into it.....geezus do you have nightmares about these people?.....do you see them everywhere?.....WTF....

 

[Immanuel]

While I can't say that I agree with many of his policies, I can say that he is genuinely a likable person. He seems honest, almost to a fault and he seems to care about people, not just the rich. That in and of itself is something that I find lacking in politicians of either party. It seems to me that he believes what he is doing is the right thing to do even if I think he is off his rocker. I've got to respect the man for that.

I must say that I would not mind having him on "our side". Conservatives could really use a make over when it comes to how they are perceived when it comes to caring about the common man.

[JWBooth]

I am absolutely sure that he genuinely loves his children.
He ended any chance that the Clintons will return to the White House.

 

[Samson]

I would rather see him in a XXX film than Dick Cheney.



Yeah, I'm one sick puppy.

 

[Two Thumbs]

He's very bright and loves his country enough to look beyond partisan bickering. He tries to work with the less intelligent Republicans no matter how much hate they spew.

He's very funny and genuine. It's been rough overcoming the party of no and still he has accomplished a lot in two years.

Something he has actually done please. Not a romantic listing of his manly qualities.

Thanks.

Somethin good, not somethin made up, try again

What is with you rightwingnuts? An opinion was asked for she gave hers. Can't you just agree or disagree without the partisan hackery.

Good point, however she didn't make it through with some partisan hacks.

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

It is good to see a retard in charge for once.
I feel that retards have been discriminated against long enough.
I hope to see retards piloting planes, doing surgery and inventing life saving drugs instead of posting @ usmesageboards very soon.

 

[Kat]

He has a great smile..
