Can anyone deny that this is a true statement (from the CFP linked article) and actually back up any claim that it is untrue?

"Obama’s only real accomplishment is that he took hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money, and directed them to his donors on Wall Street, in the unions and the insurance industry."
Holy Cow! I would never have believed it to be possible.
There are jobs that Americans won't do and foreigners have to fill in the void.
In this case it is a Canadian journalist writing for a Canadian paper doing the work of the LameStreamMedia, it's called " INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING !"

Follow The Money!!!

If you have the guts to read just one opinion piece that I agree with 100% then have at it. I guess I have made it impossible for many to read it at all. Those who don't mind my thinking, hava a good read.

Obama’s Only Real Accomplishment
Canada ???? free press???? lol

I don't care what country the person is from, what political viewpoint they might have, or any other trivial thing that some folks immediately point at to defend their reason for ignoring the truth, I only care about whether the information is the truth or not.
Ahhhh, so you'd take "the truth" from Fidel? LOL Only if he agreed with you, of course.

First guy to have every citizens and legal foreign worker covered by health insurance, which is a standard in many other countries.

Bottomline: Every human being should be covered by some sorts of health insurance.

This tiny accomplishment cost Clinton a lot more than just a spillover on a skirt and he finally gave up despite of a much stronger economic feat.

The right never disappoints. Only they can refer to a blog which calls Obama "Barry Obama" seriously. As soon I read that, I stopped reading.

A 100 percent junk trash article. No doubt about it. Don't bother reading it if you are a sane rational person. Just letting you all know.
The author is a New York journalist.

So, Obama followers, let's have a list of major accomplishments of Obama then.

With a stacked deck, all the funny money, complete control of congress and an open checkbook it should not be hard to create a huge list right?
I have you told you MANY MANY times over but it goes over your head every time.

If I waste more time on you telling you again, you would ignore it. No point in trying to convince irrational people like yourself.

Default Republican hypocrisy

I notice one consistent whine by Republicans...spending. Where was all the outrage over spending when George W Bush 43 spent over $ 1 BILLION on his Medicare prescription drug plan? A plan that was/is a huge boom for pharmaceuticals and insurance companies? Where was all the outrage over spending when George W Bush spent over $1 BILLION on a war of choice in Iraq? Seems to me Republicans are a bunch of hypocrites who only complain about spending when it suits them politically!

It's funny how you never see a blue car when you aren't looking for one.

Perhaps it's is honing your perception that will yield results.
