Not true.

The agreement to end the war was signed on November 17th 2008.

Obama one of the most successful presidents in US history .








Please be careful what you post. This almost made me choke to death while drinking my coffee. I was laughing so hard. Just what the hell has he been successful at? Running the country in the ground?

He has a long ways to go before being mentioned in the same breath as:

Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, the Roosevelts or Johnson.
Hell to the NO.

Obama should NEVER be held to the same standard as Thomas Jefferson. You have got to be kidding me.

Unlike Obama, Jefferson actually believed in the right to due process... While we had this clown sign the NDAA with reservations. He believed in small government.

Andrew Jackson? LOL.

Seems like you have some reading to do. Obama overall stands for the exact opposite of what those 2 stood for.

What a joke.

That feeble attempt is akin to saying...ehh...don't worry about immigration violators, they're really irrelevant.

Passing of the health care act, affords EVERYONE access to healthcare. But I agree, like you I think there should be a single payer.

The markets and companies have done better and better every QTR since '10.

Funny you speak about retards. Is self loathing is part of your normal character?

We've got plenty of guns...to keep in check morons and extremists who attempt to corrupt and destroy the Republic.
It is not self loathing that is contained in my character...Just a disappointment in myself for not being a realist all those years and ending up in poverty in my old age.. I trusted and expected the best out of people..I thought that most were intelligent and capable of love, civility and kindness...I over estimated the common stupidity of people in general...Yes I am disappointed..

As for the President cherry picking the political moment to kill some old man who was nothing but a dated figure head...The insiders of the Democratic and Republican party ALWAYS knew were Obama was..but because American oil merchants who have influence in government are too closely tied to the Saudi Arabian oil mafia...Bin Laden was a son of Saudi mafia members....Mafia have a rule- You do not kill the other guys kids...but I guess that Obama figured out that it was worth it politically.

If the Republicans AND the Democrats were legit..They would have gone after the Saudi Arabians for facilitating 9 11 - for putting up the money for the operation..They defected the blame and went wandering off into Afghanistan and Iraq..that had nothing to do with 9 11 - They should have struck Saudi ARABIA...but they did not because the trading and the profit in oil was more important than the slaughter of over 3000 Americans in New York...THAT fact and sin is something the Democrats and Republican will have to life for - that profit is more important to them than human life or the security of America.


Anyway..that is the truth...I just hope that those in control of big oil are harnessed and controlled..we in Canada have oil for you _ take it - You do not need to make deals with the devil...you do not need off shore oil..We are your friends- THOSE in the middle east are NOT your friends.

The country and most of the world was run into the ground when Obama won his first election.

"Obama one of the most successful presidents in US history"

Not yet. If the two parties do not meet on common ground the Dems will not win the election in 4 years. Especially if it appears Obama, this time around, is the one holding things up. I gave him the edge over spoiled republicans who lost power 4 years ago and threw a temper tantrum, picked a weak candidate who then chose the wrong running mate. The party who then came up with the strategy of not meeting in the middle and to stifle compromise, and then picked a loser as their nominee who then picked the wrong running mate again. Another words if any of the two parties think that things can stay the same as they have the last 4 years will suffer in the next election cycle in quick order.

If OBAMA wants real and full success instead of being the most popular guy in school...He should draft Romney and his team as financial adviser to the nation..Obama has got a lot of charm and has a great singing voice (orator)...but he is terrible with money- He is going to need help. Turning America into Europe is a sweet idea...but there will be a price to pay- more poverty.... Idealism is great but it will not put food on the table..Yes he is successful and made many blacks proud..but that is not enough.


Obama is going to meet with Romney and they will work together- they have no choice- don't write Romney off as useless...He is a very valuable human resource...and Obama know America will not survive with out him....toss away the hate and take the money folks...Good luck..and congratulations for such as show of concern...great turn out and great concern by the American people...You will make it!

Which war did he end? Just checking your knowledge.
Is that about the time he closed Guantanamo?

P.S. My buddies at LARGE healthcare insurance companies would love to thank President Obama for letting them write the legislation requiring for-profit purchase from their companies. They'd also like to thank him for letting them put in 80% payout requirements which forces out small regional insurers.

Hey, I *slightly* favor Obama over Romney, but it's just sad how ill-informed some of you are about things.
