What's One Thing Obama Has Done to Help You Personally?

[DiamondDave]

And yet republicans, the party of NO, who despite the fact that SOME (but not all) of their ideas have been included in the bills that they have voted against, they still voted against them have NO responsibility in the devisiveness that has gripped our nation??

Thanks for the blind partisan hypocrisy.

If you shove 3 skittles into a turd and ask me to eat it... I will still refuse, no matter how much I like skittles

But feel free to turd munch to your heart's content, winger

Really?? Is that why some republicans went home and tried to take credit for the jobs and money from the stimulus bill that they voted against, even thought they knew it would pass, so they could attack it for politcal gain later even as they try to take credit for it?? LOL So much for the turd analogy but thanks for showing where your mind is. LOL

furthermore, if you are talking about the helthcare bill based on what i have heard it is basically what the republicans proposed back in 93 when they were railing against hillarycare.

So their ideas and tactics are fine when they use them but in the hands of a democrat they are unconstitutional or worse. LOL

Face it republicans don't want anything to pass because the statis quo benefits them which is why they stall and try to stop everything even IF they once agreed with what is being discussed. For an example of this you need only look at the group of republicans who were co-sponsors of a bill but then voted against when it was apparent that it would have passed with their votes.

1 talking point/slogan to the next, eh??

Your first assertion is blown out of the water...

Face it... many politicians and people on many parts of the non-left-wing spectrum don't want a lot of this legislation to pass for MANY different reasons... because of the increased government control, because of the entitlement mantra, because of the expense, because of more and more things we can continually list

But you'll just go to your next hyper-partisan talking point...

You know it takes more that YOUR opinions to counter an argument but thanks for the spin. You saying it doesn't make it so.

The funny thing is that you attack me claiming that I am presenting talking points and then the core of your whole post is NOTHING but hyper-partisan talking points.

So thanks for the hypocrisy too. LOL

Really... nope.. a sample list of why many parts of those not on the far left is not me spewing hyper-partisan talking points... only going to show you there are indeed many reasons to be against the programs and legislation being proposed by the current left-wing administration and congress... and there was no conclusion drawn as to why any particular part of the group or the whole group is against it.... unlike the unfounded conclusions you drew in yours

but nice try

Actually what you said above is nothing but a talking point. In reference to health care for instance some who were against the current law before it's passage were against it because it did not go far enough. That is a FACT that your talking points tend to ignore.

You draw your conculsions and then say that they don't exist. how convenient. LOL

All you have provided is talking points while pretending to be against what you offer.

but nice try. LOL

 

[PixieStix]

I think it was here that I found the following quote over a year ago

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

I would replace political correctness with "progressive politics"

Now if there was a thread about how Obama's policies has effected me negatively, maybe we can talk

There is not a clean end to obama's administration and it's policies. Sorry

Try again... winger

As stated.. there are numerous reasons to be against programs and legislation (including but not limited to health care) and a quick list was given, with the stipulation that there are indeed many more reasons....

You drew conclusions over your personal assumptions.... you were simply pointed out

and yet everytime questions have been asked all you get from righties are claims that he is a socialist while not proving anything, he's not a citizen despite proof being shown, and he's bad for America all because they say so. LOL

In fact richard-H asked a few good questions earlier in this thread and didn't get a single response. How typical.

He's reminded me that the true greatness of America past present and future is liberalism, and that conservatism is nothing more than a series of futile roadblocks that occasionally get thrown up in the way of progress.

What liberal ideal has BO upheld?

The constitution, which he taught at the University level for 10 years.

Out of curiosity can someone point to something that Obama has done that has helped you personally since he has been in office?

For that matter, how about one thing the Democrats have done to help you?

Thanks.

Every time his lips stop moving, it helps me personally. I will swear to this under oath.

Have you tuned into what's happening in Greece? maybe you ought to move there, I will help you pack. The obama utopia, socialism, at work for you.

Nice avoidance, however, calling me names does NOTHING to substantiate your claims. Pretending that you have substantiated your claims when you haven't does nothing to further your spin either. Funny how you don't know that. LOL

So could you please provide a quote or how about a piece of legislation that obama has proposed in which he wishes to model the US after the system in greece??

If you can't then I am sure than an honest poster such as you will back away from such a ridiculous argument as the one you just tried to make.

P.S. liberalism does not equal socialism. Don't you think it's time that you learned the difference??

 

[rightwinger]

So far...

Passed the Healthcare Bill
Cut Taxes
Redirected the war on terror to go where the terrorists are
Stimulated the markets which restored my 401K
Kept America safe
Restored Americas image abroad
Cut nuclear weapons


Not bad for 15 months

Some of the TARP and ARRA money helped save my state from collapse.

Does that count?

(Reuters) - The United States posted an $82.69 billion deficit in April, nearly four times the $20.91 billion shortfall registered in April 2009 and the largest on record for that month, the Treasury Department said on Wednesday.

Greece

It was more than twice the $40-billion deficit that Wall Street economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast and was striking since April marks the filing deadline for individual income taxes that are the main source of government revenue.

Department officials said that in prior years, there was a surplus during April in 43 out of the past 56 years.

The government has now posted 19 consecutive monthly budget deficits, the longest string of shortfalls on record.

For the first seven months of fiscal 2010, which ends September 30, the cumulative budget deficit totals $799.68 billion, down slightly from $802.3 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2009.

Outlays during April rose to $327.96 billion from $218.75 billion in March and were up from $287.11 billion in April 2009. It was a record level of outlays for an April.

Department officials noted there were five Fridays in April this year, which helped account for higher outlays since most tax refunds are issued on that day.

But for the first seven months of the fiscal year, outlays fell to $1.99 trillion from $2.06 trillion in the comparable period of fiscal 2009, partly because of repayments by banks of bailout funds they received during the financial crisis.

Receipts in April -- mostly from income taxes -- were $245.27 billion, up from $153.36 billion in March but lower than the $266.21 billion taken in during April 2009.

Receipts from individuals, who faced an April 15 filing deadline for paying 2009 taxes, fell to $107.31 billion from $137.67 billion in April 2009.

The U.S. full-year deficit this year is projected at $1.5 trillion on top of a $1.4 trillion shortfall last year.

White House budget director Peter Orszag told Reuters Insider in an interview on Wednesday that the United States must tackle its deficits quickly to avoid the kind of debt crisis that hit Greece.
