I noticed a few threads on here recently attacking President Obama for not accomplishing anything, and I also just noticed Bill O'Reilly was saying the same thing recently,hence, the parrots started chirping after digesting their talking points.
But let's remember his biggest accomplishments first: He stopped the hemorrhaging of our economy, started to repair our standing in the world internationally, and worked to end the disaster that was the Iraq War, all left for him as holdovers from the previous 8 years. He started an uphill climb to repair the wreckage he was left, with a radicalized Republican Party trying to impede his every effort to fix our country.
In light of what he was left, and the systematic obstruction he faced, he has done a respectable, if not admirable, job thus far.

I generally agree that President Obama has been a better president than some would admit. I have especially liked early focus on improving services to Vets, which had been sadly neglected for many years.

That was certainly one of the more despicable legacies of the Bush/Cheney era, to start wars and not give a damn for those killed or injured in them.

Perhaps this was a satire piece.......but I would love to know how he "repaired our standing in the world internationally."
1) He is not Bush (who was universally hated abroad)
2) The ability to speak clearly and convincingly, without embarrassing an entire nation
3) The ability to use diplomacy without religious influence and polarizing rhetoric in a way that is relatable and respected internationally, with the possible exception of Israel.
Those are only three examples, but that is enough.

Porkulus? Shovel ready wasn't so shovel ready and unemployment is still higher than they projected.

He may have tried to get that started but he's obviously failed miserably. Does Syria ring a bell?

Iraq ended on Bush's timetable. Obama tried to extend our involvement but failed in his negotiations with Iraq to keep our troops in theatre.
Of course all the lame old excuses are cited. It's all Bush's fault. He's been obstructed.
Obama hasn't accomplished squat. The rest of the list in that link isn't even worth addressing.
The agency tracks and widely reports the average wait time: 273 days. But the internal data indicates that veterans filing their first claim, including those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, wait nearly two months longer, between 316 and 327 days. Those filing for the first time in America’s major population centers wait up to twice as long -- 642 days in New York, 619 days in Los Angeles and 542 days in Chicago. The ranks of veterans waiting more than a year for their benefits grew from 11,000 in 2009, the first year of Obama’s presidency, to 245,000 in December -- an increase of more than 2,000 percent.
Try a google search on the problems at VA Hospitals.
A couple of campaign style speeches in front of Veteran's groups prior to an election does not match the reality on the ground -- ask a Veteran, they will explain it to you.

1. Wow....what an accomplishment! He's well spoken....and CLEAN!
2. As long as he has the trusty teleprompter and he's speaking to the sheeple who believe his horse excrement.
3. Diplomacy??? You'd like to pretend Syria doesn't exist- wouldn't you?
Tell me, is cutting the national debt, still on the list becaue they just keep making up crap for the ignorant lefties to repeat..
