But, but, as a few here will post over and over like it is a game.
He has kept more then he has broken so it is ok!!!
Do not forget to add his EDUCATION AND JOBS promises to any list.
So far in 11 months he does not even talk about education at all and it took him 10 months to even spit the word jobs out.
The biggest mistake was allowing him to scam so many people and let him step foot into our WH.
He is the biggest mistake ever in American politics period.
Not one single major accomplishment in 11 months. Not one.
Well, on the bright side, the State of the Union address should be short. Of course, you know, that's why healthcare/health insurance "reform" is being rushed. I'm also expecting there will be a January announcement about US citizens being asked to take in "the Gitmo alleged perpetrators of man caused disasters" as boarders, just so the administration can say they closed Gitmo.
I thought about the nobel peace prize but it wasn't his mistake or his administration's mistake that the idiots gave it to him and he made a pretty decent speech when he got the award so I let that one slide. Your other ones are good ones.
i don't think the kind of speech he gave is relevant to accepting the award, since he shouldn't have accepted the prize in the first place.
certainly if i was going to accelerate war action i would not accept a "peace" prize. i agree 100% that it was idiotic to offer it to him and that part certainly wasn't his fault, but obama still had the ability to regretfully decline. (i guess he wanted the money).
While I am not a liberal, I do believe Obama is the right man for the job right now, and I didn't even read her list. Just more childish ranting because she didn't get her way in the last election.
Clinton endured the same and emerged a great president. Bush was given a chance and failed, attracting well deserved criticism. Obama's handling everything just fine - hard to see when you are ideologically opposed to him, though.
People act as if we've never had a Democrat in power before. They think it's some evil socialist plot.
The problem is that some people who voted for him hoped he'd change Washington, DC, not America. If he was looking for some quick accomplishments in his first year, changing how Washington operates should have been an easy task for him, given that he has a Democrat majority in the House and Senate. As their leader, he just should have told his two majority leaders how to operate. Instead, they and the white house went to bunker mentality tossing grenades at the American public. Really, do you think the American public is going to forget that they were left out and called names for asking questions and having a dissenting opinion about their healthcare, how their money was being spent, government intrusion into their lives, the resumes of some of the people in the White House and cronyism?
another point on obama and his "global warming" agenda for those who didn't know:
While on the board of a Chicago-based charity, Barack Obama helped fund a carbon trading exchange that will likely play a critical role in the cap-and-trade carbon reduction program he is now trying to push through Congress as president.”
The charity was the Joyce Foundation on whose board of directors Obama served and which gave nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were “instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide.”
And that’s only the beginning of this tawdry tale, Mr. Barnes.
The “privately-owned” Chicago Climate Exchange is heavily influenced by Obama cohorts Al Gore and Maurice Strong.
For years now Strong and Gore have been cashing in on that lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.
Strong is on the board of directors of the Chicago Climate Exchange, Wikipedia-described as “the world’s first and North America’s only legally binding greenhouse gas emission registry reduction system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil.”
Gore, self-proclaimed Patron Saint of the Environment, buys his carbon off-sets from himself—the Generation Investment Management LLP, “an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and Washington, D.C., of which he is both chairman and founding partner. The Generation Investment Management business has considerable influence over the major carbon credit trading firms that currently exist, including the Chicago Climate Exchange.
Strong, the silent partner, is a man whose name often draws a blank on the Washington cocktail circuit. Even though a former Secretary General of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the much hyped Rio Earth Summit) and Under-Secretary General of the United Nations in the days of an Oil-for-Food beleaguered Kofi Annan, the Canadian born Strong is little known in the United States. That’s because he spends most of his time in China where he he has been working to make the communist country the world’s next superpower. The nondescript Strong, nonetheless is the big cheese in the underworld of climate change and is one of the main architects of the failing Kyoto Protocol.
2. Judge me by the people I surround myself with --- candidate Obama invitation. The reality: Self proclaimed Commie (Jones), Mao Fan Girl (Dunn), a parade of Tax Cheats (Geithner and too many others to mention), Kill Grandma and Young Children (Emanuel the brother), Lawyers for Dogs (Sunstein), School Sex former Drug Abuser (Jennings), White House advisors. Also unacceptable but you forgot his terrorist friend
This was a 2009 list. Other than the White House Visitor Logs showing a William Ayers visited, I don't know that the President associated with Ayers in 2009.
6. The political dog and pony show in NYC Holder announcement. We’re going to show them what American justice is really all about but, by the way, if they are found “not guilty†we’re going to hold them anyway. I know nothing about this so I decline to comment
You don't know about the civilian terrorist trials allowing the defendent terrorists to spout their ideology near where the World Trade Center used to be or you don't know that at the same time Eric Holder was saying we're doing it to show the world what American justice is all about, he said even if they are found "not guilty" we're not letting them go? In other words, we're going to pay for a political dog and pony show to give away American secrets that will compromise intelligence gathering, and so we can drag the Bush administration through the mud (probably with more apologies), but we're telling the world what we're really doing is showcasing the American Justice system...well except for that dirty little part about we're still going to hold them if they are found "not guilty" making the whole thing a sham.
9. The Air Force One Photo Op over NYC Once again I know nothing about this so no comment
They flew Air Force One over NYC sending people into a panic just so they could take some photos.
"A photo shoot involving a 747 used as Air Force One and one fighter jet flying at low altitude led to hundreds of frightened calls from residents and workers in Lower Manhattan this morning, triggering memories of 9-11 as many evacuated their offices. The president was not aboard. At a White House press briefing Monday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs dodged questions about the flyover."
12. Idle --don't cross this line in the sand, okay how about this line, and here's another line-- threats to Iran’s nuclear program. once again I know nothing but I guess some people have no Lifes and monitor Obamasamas every move
This refers to all of the talking/cajoling we've done with Iran with no effect.
15. Beer fest in the rose garden or the police acted stupidly, rewind. ?
Refers to the cop and professor incident and the press conference remark that even though he didn't know much about it, the police acted stupidly. It cause a big brouhaha which resulted in a silly beer invitation for the cop and professor with the President and VP in the White House garden with a gaggle of cameramen recording the event.
19. “Man caused disasters†and the “overseas contingency operation†we dare not speak of by their real names. But we can label US veterans as potential extremists in our DHS report. ?
The politically correct Obama administration decided that acts of terrorism were going to be called "man made disasters" and that the war was not going to be called a war but an "overseas contingency operation." But, DHS issued a report warning that returning veterans had the potential to become right wing extremists.
22. DVDs for Gordon Brown. Isn’t that special! ?
In his first White House visit, the UK Prime Minister came with the kind of appropriate gifts usually exchanged by world leaders. In return, President Obama gave him a set of DVDs...which in addition to being an embarrassment of a gift, didn't even play on UK DVD players as they are in Region 2.
25. On why government run healthcare is a "good idea"… "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. It's the Post Office that's always having problems." President Obama. (also known as I inherited the Post Office from the Bush administration.)
?
President Obama made the above statement about how bad he thinks the post office is while trying to express why government run healthcare is a good idea.
...just a few weeks ago, Europol, the cross-border police force, said that carbon trading fraudsters may have accounted for up to 90pc of all market activity in some European countries, with criminals mainly from Britain, France, Spain, Denmark and Holland pocketing an estimated €5bn (£4.5bn).
"It is estimated that in some countries, up to 90pc of the whole market volume was caused by fraudulent activities," Europol said.
Figures from New Energy Finance show the value of the global market falling from $38bn (£23bn) in the second quarter to $30bn in the three months to the end of September after several countries cracked down.
Hahaha. I'm not sure if it's sad or funny that you might, actually, believe what you just wrote.
Mind-boggling how anyone could come to the conclusion you did, when he's done everything he's needed to do: picked up the war on terror
He wont used the word war on terror so how has he picked it up? He has done nothing to make us more safe at all.
pulled our economy back from the brink,
Sorry, he has made it worse then Bush did. Have you checked the numbers? Highest unemployment in 20+ years, record foreclosures and bankruptcies, car repos, most small business closing since the 1970's.
created the biggest health care reform since the 1930s,
Reform, it is no reform as it is unconstitutional to hand or give away health care to only 15% of Americans on the backs of others.
And it is not done yet so do not get your panties all tied up.
Besides the huge majority DO NOT WANT THIS bill to pass so he went against those same majority that elected him to do what THEY wanted him to do. So he scammed them all didnt he?
and a whole slew of other things.
List them please as I have asked for just ONE single major accomplishment under Obama and never get a response.
Sorry, but every major nation deficit-spends in a recession to keep it from having too great an impact. Just how the world works. Can't hold that against him.
I'm quite pleased with our president. He's making the tough decisions necessary to pull us out of this mess and get us prosperous again.
He cannot make a decision to save is butt. What decisions has he made that benefits us all?
You are a Obama fan to the core, you might as well admit it.
I'll await mature discourse before I engage in this childish tomfoolery. In the mean time, I hope you had a wonderful new year and perhaps someday you will come to terms with the fact that your ideology can't always be in control - especially when it creates the disaster it did over the past 8 years.
God bless.
Your ideology has worked wonders in Cali, NY, Michigan, Detroit, Baltimore, NJ and all the other places it has run into the ground. 'Progressivism' has a 100% failure rate. Just look at Obama's home city and state!

I guess that's why Chicago is called "the city that works". I lived in Illinois, and I can't say the state was a 100% failure. Please elaborate.

Chicago has done fairly well for itself compared to other rust-belt Midwestern cities, so, despite all our faults, we must be doing something right.
