What has Obama done so far to deserve to be re-elected?

[The T]

I'm stil trying to figure out what he did to get elected the first go round... other than bedazzle a bunch of dolts.

uh...Im not happy he won.

But I highly doubt 54% of the electorate are dolts.

Most voted for him for his vision.

Many voted for him becuase he was a democrat.

Some voted for him so they can be part of history

Some voted for him so they can feel good about themselves.

Which equates to alot of buyer's remorse in the end.

 

[daveman]

The very fact that Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize shows that he deserves to be reelected

Yeah. What did he do to win that medal?

Oh, yeah. Be a liberal.

Dont you know RW by now?

He says things like that to get the right riled up. He doesnt really mean it.

LOL...I stopped feeding into him when he posts things like that a long time ago.

He is not a "sheep".....he is strong with his ideology...but his opinions are his own...not manufactured by some blogger

Really? I'm going to have to disagree, J. I've never seen him post an original thought.

 

[thereisnospoon]

The very fact that Obama has enraged the rightwing to the extent that he has shows that he is doing right by America

Obama has transformed himself from President of the United States (POTUS) to Ass Kicker of United States( AKOUS) to Enrager of the United States( ENROUS)
And those who voted for Obama though he was just one guy.
Righty, why not keep people thinking you're an imbecile rather then continue to post and remove all doubt?

Part of history? Did these people forget that voting is anonymous?
I would agree that the majority of white suburban yuppies and college aged people voted for Obama for the reason you gave, ( feel good) and the other is FEAR....Yes that fear of having to tell their fellow cul-de-sac dwellers that they broke a neighborhood rule by thinking for themselves.
I believe most white suburban so called moderates voted for Obama out of white guilt.
Without that white guilt vote, Obama would have lost the election and we'd have a whole different set of issues with Mc Cain.
ON to 2012.
Most of those college ages people that voted for Obama have under his regime seen their chances at using their degree to land a good high paying job crushed. They will not be nearly as energized to vote for Obama in 2012.
I also think most of those self hating white suburban moderates have taken a long hard look at the equity in their homes vanish before their eyes and will realize they made a mistake in voting with their heart rather than their head. Obama will not be counting on these voters this time around.
This is not to say they will necessarily vote for the GOP candidate. In fact I think many of them may sit out the election altogether.

Why don't you just admit that Republicans fucked up big time and that the people were irate with the Party?

White Guilt?

Were the overwhelming number of Democratic Congressmen, Senators and Governors who were elected in 2008 also black?

 

[taichiliberal]

No..I stated very clearly that Maher is a flaming liberal hack.
Not a shred of balance on his show.
What the **** does FNC have to do with anything?

Your opinion is but a piss in the wind, as it does nothing to address the accuracy of Maher's criticism of Obama. Anyone who has watched Maher over the years KNOWS that he's taken the SAME viewpoints and attitudes of the neocon cabal (a'la' Fox News, WND, NewsMax, Kristol, Crowley, Levin, Hannity, Maulkin, etc., etc.) on MANY issues...thus making him an equal opportunity offender to liberals and conservatives alike.

My points and Maher's observation is valid...if YOU can provide examples that disprove either, please do.

Well, anyone that would ban religion if they could is a tyrant...

Agreed....but then again Maher is just an entertainer/talk show host with no political or legal clout. So his opinion and viewpoints are just that....his opinions and viewpoints. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I disagree. Such is life.

I don't believe Maher has much respect for civil liberties given his opinions. I respect his right to have opinions, however I believe Bill would have no problem enforcing his ideas via dictation.

No, Maher may blow smoke on what personally erks him, but he has stated that he does believe in civil liberties....because without them he would have no livelihood. Like I said, the man's an entertainer, so picking out his contradictions on some level over the years isn't that hard.

I think some people - er most people - cannot distinguish the line between morals and ethics and I think Maher is one of them..

Think what you like....but just because someone says, "If I ruled the world......" does not mean they would actually DO such things....unless they consistently advocate and endorse groups that believe in such.

The whole time, of course, Obama has been nothing but a SCOAMF.

 

[yidnar]

He ended the partisanship in DC. He also enforced a completely transparent process. Oh and let's not forget he gave everyone thousands of dollars for their old turd cars. And he had beers with really important people when they couldn't get along. Also he helped Israel negotiate with those pesky terrorists.
So much more but I'm too busy to keep typing!

 

[yidnar]

Another historic accomplishment has been the first universal healthcare program in United States history. After one hundred years of trying to get a healthcare plan enacted, President Obama was the first to accomplish this important program to help millions of Americans

For his work, this healthcare program is now known as Obamacare in his honor. Generations of Americans will be thankful for their Obamacare and always remember him for it

it is a failure !!! who is benefiting from it ??

 

[taichiliberal]

You're making this personal because?

Because of your historically documented disdain and condescending attitude towards anyone who supports Obama on ANYTHING, much less liberals in general.

If you've suddenly had a change of heart, then my apologies.

Because I have objections to liberals and liberalism, that warrants personal attacks?


No, it's your historically documented PERSONAL slights, nasty innuendos and assertions that if someone is a liberal, then they automatically think this, act like this, etc., etc.

I submit it is you who have no tolerance to all things not liberal or in 100% lockstep with the democrats or Obama's policies.

And given that I've started at least two threads this year criticizing Obama, your assertion isn't worth a piss in the wind.

That you attack first indicates that very fact. And yes, it does matter.

Spare us all this "wounded debater" act, Spoon. There's enough documented evidence via past posts to show your admitted attitude towards anyone perceived as "liberal" or Democrat or "progressive" is anything but fair or pleasant. Like I said, if you've suddenly had a change of heart, then my apologies.

The breakdown in the debate occurs with the first insult.

You should know. The difference between you and I is that I'm upfront about it. YOU haven't the courage to just be honest about your attitude and convictions.

Look, I am not here to convince anyone to change their mind. I protect and defend an ideology I share with other conservatives. That is an irritant to you. So be it.

Wonderful....then when someone produces FACTS that prove bits and parts of your "ideology" to be dead wrong, then you should have the honesty to concede the point rather than stubbornly deny and/or lie to "defend an ideology". And if my calling you out on such irritates you, then so be it.

At least you can acknowledge their is a right to an opposing point of view.

I never denied such.....so already you're trying to foster a false premise and attribute it to me. To date, I've never denied you or any other poster the right of statement....I'm just very good at proving you wrong on many points using facts and logic, and that irritates you to no end. So be it.

I object to the liberal/progressive/socialist ideology, political correctness, big government, the welfare state, social safety nets which do not fulfill their intended purpose, racial set asides, liberal judicial activism, liberal speech codes, government instrusion and interference in the free market, crushing regulations on business, high taxes and the rest of the rot gut liberalism thrown at We The People.

Spewing a collection of talking points and mantras right out of Levin/Hannity/Limbaugh's program (or Maulkin's, Crowley's pages, or the WND or Newsbusters or any one of Murdoch's publishings/programs won't change the FACT of Obama's accomplishment's thus far that warrant his re-election:

[taichiliberal]

What has Obama done so far to deserve to be re-elected?

He has allowed the GOP to make total asses of themselves.

Ron Paul will win and then EASILY defeat Obamafuck..

thanks man, I needed a good laugh!

 

[Stephanie]

They keep posting that link with all the Obama accomplishment. you'd think his approvals would be 100%, yet a majority of people don't think he deserves to be reelected..

now how does that happen, he is SO ACCOMPLISHED....

 

[taichiliberal]

You've been fed a carefully-crafted vision of the TEA Party -- crafted by people with an agenda.

No, I've READ material by various Tea Party members and their politcal allies and I've VIEWED the videos and photos by various news sources and eye witnesses. In short, the Tea Party screwed themselves via their own words and actions. Whether YOU acknowledge that reality or not is irrelevent.

Because you're not bright, you swallowed it unthinkingly and unquestioningly.

You're projecting again, Davey.....like a typical neocon parrot you squawk that the whole world is lying EXCEPT Fox News or Clear Channel or NewsMax or Limbaugh or Maulkin or Kristol. Yeah, keep telling yourself that Davey....because NO ONE put those signs or words into the teabaggers mouths and hands to be recorded for all posterity.
Couple that with your irrational hatred of conservatives, and you wind up with...you.

Neocons are NOT your Daddy's conservatives, Davey boy.....and since you CANNOT logically or factually disprove what I stated previously, you're just blowing smoke as usual. Carry on.

I don't have to disprove anything. It's up to you to logically and factually prove your statements.

You haven't. You won't. You can't.

Dismissed.

Once again folks, little Davey forces me to make a fool of him. Observe just a few examples:

You and your cohorts kept implying/asserting that the man had NO accomplishments, Steph old girl. Now that you've been factually proven WRONG, you don't have the maturity or honesty to concede that point and instead keep rambling on about polls. Well toodles, the GOP rates LOWER than Obama in those polls, so when all is said and done (especially with the recent events), guess who's coming to dinner...again!

How DARE he criticize The One!!

No stupid, the conversation was about his attacking people who support Obama. Jeez man, learn to ******* READ, will ya?

 

[taichiliberal]

I'm stil trying to figure out what he did to get elected the first go round... other than bedazzle a bunch of dolts.

Maybe it was the FACT that the people got screwed with 8 years of the Shrub and saw another 4 with McCain. They wised up....pity you can't.

but you Obamabots can always hold onto your dreams..

Steph sweatheart, you need to get off the booze or pills or get the crack out of the pipe. The subject title of this thread is asking what has Obama done to be re-elected....well sweetheart, that means what has the man accomplished that's positive for the people. And since willfully ignorant neocon parrots like YOU and your buddies WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE the accomplishments, I just provided a list drawn up by others. Now, if you can FACTUALLY DISPROVE the list, then please do. If not, just continue to sputter and fume like the good little Rovian toadie that you are.

Read 'em and weep, Steph:

Obamacare is just kicking in right now. By 2014, 35 million (and maybe more) Americans will be able to join insurance pools to obtain low cost health insurance. Millions of americans with preexisting conditions who were denied coverage or forced to pay exorbitant rates will be eligible for those pools.

Generations from now, Americans will be thankful for their Obamacare and the President who fought so hard to provide it

Yeah, maybe we'll be like some countries and have Obama's picture painted on all the buildings of the cities. SO WE CAN GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE.
