Straight forward questions deserve straight forward and honest answers.

What happened to the promise to close down GITMO? I know it could not be because of republicans, because Obama and the dems had total control of the government for 2 years. The republicans could not stop anything.

What happened to the stimulus keeping the unemployment rate under 8%? I know it could not be because of republicans, because Obama and the dems had total control of the government for 2 years. The republicans could not stop anything.

What happened to ending the wars? We are now in 5 wars, still in Iraq and may now extend that. I know it could not be because of republicans, because Obama and the dems had total control of the government for 2 years. The republicans could not stop anything.

What happened to every single person having healthcare insurance? Not everyone will and the plan is now creating so many issues that they said would not happen. I know it could not be because of republicans, because Obama and the dems had total control of the government for 2 years. The republicans could not stop anything.

What happened to all the clean energy jobs that were going to save our economy? I know it could not be because of republicans, because Obama and the dems had total control of the government for 2 years. The republicans could not stop anything.

What happened to all those jobs that the shovels were going to be used on? I know it could not be because of republicans, because Obama and the dems had total control of the government for 2 years. The republicans could not stop anything.

What happened to the hosuing market turning around with the new regulations? I know it could not be because of republicans, because Obama and the dems had total control of the government for 2 years. The republicans could not stop anything.

Please feel free to add whatever other what happened to questions, so we can get the Obama supporters views on WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED.

What happened to abolishing the Bush tax cuts for those making over 250,00 ? It could not be because of the {R}s because the {D}s had total control of the gvt for 2 years. The {R}s could not stop anything.

What happened to your memory or ability to research? Is the truth too inconvenient?

Do you really think the Repug tirade against the affordable healthcare hasn't had an impact. our dumba$$ FL gov hasn't even implemented it because he thinks it isn't the law... what a douche.

Stimulus - The repugs have blocked that tooth and nail. Recall it was the Repugs and teabaggers that sacrificed our rating over the budget.

The housing market did turn around. in comparison to what it was and where it was headed.

Repugs have done nothing to help the healthcare plan, and much of it came from them....

The war in Iraq has all but ended. with plans for withdrawal in Afghanistan.

Want some more facts?

Clinton to Bush to Obama
Who Dug the Deep Hole? Who Fumbled the ball?
Numbers rounded
Clinton left Bush an 1800B Budget
Bush Left Obama a 3500 Budget
Clinton left Bush a 240B Surplus
Bush left Obama a 1400B Deficit

Clinton left Bush 5,700B of Debt
Bush left Obama 11,800B of Debt
Clinton left Bush a 237,000 net new jobs created per month
Bush left Obama a 31,000 lowest number since Hoover.
Clinton left Bush 17 Million Manufacturing Jobs
Bush left Obama 11 Million Manufacturing Jobs
Clinton left Bush a 10,800 Dow
Bush left Obama an 8028 Dow ( it is 12,196 as of today, Obama year3)

Clinton left Bush Peace on Earth Good Will From Most Men
Bush left Obama Hell on Earth Two disastrous wars. Enmity of 1500 Million Muslims
Clinton left Bush a President most highly rated of any peacetime President in Asia, Africa, Europe.
Bush left Obama the most hated President in history
Bush left Obama an Housing Tsunami and Financial Volcano
Bush left Obama, in 2008, an 8500B Bail out commitment Yes! 8500 not just 700
Bush left Obama his Takeover of Fannie/Freddie, AIG, and first bailout of Chrysler
Bush increased maximum loan by Fannie/Freddie from $300,000 to $729,000
Bush increased FDIC maximum deposit coverage from $100,000 to $250,000


Given this,

Housing has improved - (lowest default numbers in years)
unemployment has improved 8.6%
The economy has improved thousands of jobs saved
the most invested in alternate energy in history
Dow Jones - huge improvement
Auto industry saved
reduction in oil demand
there are literally hundreds of accomplishments of Obama. Can't find what you don't look for.

heck you can't even find the obvious Repug failures when they have stared you in the face.

Great post. I stopped reading the post your are referring to after I read the seventh personal insult to people. Why is it that liberals refuse to talk about Obama's policy failures, yet love to insult people who question his policies?

I'm glad I read your post. You pretty much summed up the facts. Nice job.

For Repub failures we can now rely on Boehner.

Good to know FL governors are consistent in their ineptitude..we left FL when Jeb was pushing the Terri Schaivo debacle.

Please feel free to add whatever other what happened to questions, so we can get the Obama supporters views on WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED.
Question 1. Gitmo

Good question. I think its called reality once you understand who is there. But I think he still should have closed it.

Question 2. Stimulus, UE 8%

Simple, the estimates were worse then originally suspected, mainly 3 times worse then previously thought at the time of the stimulus. Also, just when the economy started to grow again, we had the debt ceiling debacle. Our economy is showing signs of growth again, but if Europe falls, all hell will break loose.

As a good conservative knows, the President can't create jobs, its beyond his control.

Question 3. Wars

See my answer to question one. I agree, should have ended the wars though.

Question 4. Healthcare for all.

Everyone has had healthcare, regardless of their ability to pay, since 1986. The affordable care act simply pays for that coverage a little more then before.

Question 5. Green energy

They haven't spent nearly enough to stimulate that market. Mainly because we are broke paying for wars.

Question 6. Jobs

Because, as previously stated, the government doesn't create jobs. And little of that money actually went to road projects.

Question 7. Housing market

Because, as previously stated, the government doesn't create jobs, or the market.

But Obama wasn't the first to bail out the banks, and the auto industry. He threw fuel on the fire, but a Republican President started it. And the cast of characters on the Republican stage are going to do the same thing. Spend, Spend, Spend.

Republicans passed spending bills, spending future healthcare savings from the affordable care act, that they have said won't save any money.

If you vote for either party candidate, you're throwing your vote away.
