Yes, he did.......By using it as a political weapon and turning false accusations of racism into a go-to tactic for the left.

I and others have answered your question, and you rejected it. That is why i asked you to specifically define the term.

* Whistle blowers will be protected in my administration.
* I am not spying on American citizens.
* Obama Care will be good for America.
* You can keep your family doctor.
* Premiums will be lowered by $2500.
* If you like it, you can keep your current healthcare plan.
* It's just like shopping at Amazon.

* I found out about it in the news.
* I knew nothing about "Fast and Furious" gunrunning to Mexican drug cartels.
* I knew nothing about IRS targeting conservative groups.
* I knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi.

And the biggest lie of all:
"I, Barrack Hussein 0bama, pledge to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America."

The majority of those arent quotes from the president.

Many of those are true, you simply dont agree with them. You not agreeing with something doesnt make them untrue.


some of them are just you not liking the president " If i had a son" really ???

But as the other poster said, there is no answer that will actually satisfy you. You wouldnt have started this thread if there was.
And that's due to Obamas leadership? I thought the evil nasty GOP has blocked him at every turn? The GOP should get the credit for stopping Obama and creating the 5th longest economic expansion in the last 130 years.

For the purposes of this discussion, we'll go ahead and knock Obamacare and Osama Bin Laden out of the way. After nearly 6 years as President, I think we can all accept that there would/could/should be more than just these two events in which the President can take credit.

But what are they?
Oh so your basic position is to wipe away the things the he clearly showed leadership on, lol

I have an excellent examples of President Obama's leadership, getting Congress to end don't ask don't tell,

His executive orders that children brought here before 2007 won't be deported if they follow certain guidelines.

His leadership on breaking conservatives from holding the government hostage over raising the debt ceiling or funding the government.

He, and I said this at the time, punked conservatives on shutting down the government.

conservatives were making all these demands about what they were going to get in return for doing what both Democrats and conservatives said had to be done which was funding the government, instead they got nothing the second time around.

He also punked conservatives on raising the debt limit. Again conservatives said they were going to get all of these concessions to do what conservatives said had to be done which was pay America's bills, and they got nothing.


Also the auto bailouts, conservatives were howling about what a failure it was going to be. He went ahead anyway and took them over.

Getting the consumer protection agency created through the Dodd Frank financial regulation bill that was passed.

Setting tough EPA standards to regulate carbon emissions.

Ah NO, it does not sound fair!!!! Liberalism actually has a definition. Just because you think a liberal is such and such does not make it so.

liberalism (politics) -- Encyclopedia Britannica

All political systems in the USA, federal, state and local are conspicuous for their lack of liberal policies.

He was President while the expansion took place. A feeble one considering all facets.
Anyhow I think the oposter wants to find something Obama accomplished with bold leadership that has helped the country.
