Great achievements all:

- Killed Bin Laden.

- Stimulus saved the American economy that was bleeding 700,000 jobs per month by the time Bush left office.

- 55 straight months of job growth. Stock markets at record highs.

- Obamacare brought healthcare protection to 25 million more Americans

- Significant new investments in green technology

- No major terrorist attacks on American soil

- Depriving Syria of its WMD's without firing a shot.

- New accountable-to-the-people governments in Libya, Egypt.

- North Korea still in check.


Those were just off the top of my head.

Imagine all the great things he could have done and could still do if Republicans hadn't banded together on day one and vowed to obstruct anything and everything he attempted.

You list some abject failures on there as accomplishments. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

Now those of us employed aren't getting raises due to cost of healthcare, or those getting new jobs aren't being hired full time so that companies don't have to provide insurance or face fines.

But hell, screw small business. Who needs them anyways.

bin laden wasn't his achievement ... it was the culmination of work performed by the cia and military who would've done their work regardless of the president ... he just made the call when he felt the odds were good enough that it'd be successful and not make him look bad (just as any other president would've done) ... whatever economic growth that has occurred at any time in the past is not the result of something the president does ... people like you want to give credit to obama or clinton or, in the absence of a republican president, someone like newt gringrich ... their impact on the economy is miniscule ... the stimulus has bee well documented as being a large waste of money that resulted in little to no growth ... he as protected american soil for 7 years, something the bushie supporters always bragged about, but that's his job, not something extra to be commended ...

you really do think he poops roses, don't you? ...

Yea, but how many people have lost their health insurance?

Honest question, PLEASE, be honest. Do you really think Obama gives a shite about me and you, or power?

That's not good. That's bad. Destroying the coal industry and stopping Keystone pipeline while promoting solar and wind will cause the price of energy to explode.

So we're up to 25 million now? Why not just claim we're at 40million and call it a day?

Invaded sovereign air space to do it.

Nearly 1 trillion dollars for "shovel ready jobs" disappeared as the economy continued to languish.

Yeah, it's called a correction. Markets do that all on their own.

Stock markets at record highs.


Obama taking care of the 1%. How come unemployment stayed up?

Obama forced a market to make an irrational economic decision. Now people are paying more out of their own pockets to accommodate strangers. I'm not even going to get into the jobs lost over that abortion of a law.

quote:

Significant new investments in green technology



Billions squandered with no articulable results. On the other hand, savvy fraudsters set up a bullshite green energy company, accepted a huge paycheck of our money, and promptly declared bankruptcy.

And we are all now being watched by the Obama administration.

- Depriving Syria of its WMD's without firing a shot.


Putin did that.

Egypt tried democracy for about a year and now has a military junta leading it. Libya is a wreck.

North Korea still in check.



When were they not?

I can only imagine what that authoritarian dictator would do to us, if given the chance.
