Actions don't equal accomplishments. I believe that's what's missing from this debate. Just because it was done doesn't make it done right. Leftists seem to confuse the two.
So, by that metric, all of Obama's accomplishments will be seen as a failure by you because you disagree with the ideas upon which those actions were taken. There is no point in continuing the discussion.
As an independent thinker, not betrothed to a camp of "leftists" or "rightists", I can certainly see a number of extraordinary accomplishments within the actions of President Obama, just as I could see a number of accomplishments in the actions of President Bush. It would take someone completely detached from reality to not see how he stopped our economy from a freefall and got it growing again, how he created landmark healthcare legislation that ensure people do not suffer simply for being poor (Christ is on his side on that one), how he has taken the reins on a floundering war on terrorism and dominated the enemy, and how he has ended a frivolous war while liberating homosexuals.
I know most Republicans wont give Obama credit for any achievement, as well as blame him for anything that went wrong (and a lot did). But they need a better platform than "our candidate is not Obama."
Now we are considered weak and ineffective throughout the world by our enemies...our armed forces spread thin worldwide,financially and morally bankrupt a recipe for disaster.When he gave the order to kill Bin Hiding he violated international law which doesn't suprise me since he is violating his Congressional oath,powers since day one.
He ramrodded his HC plan down our throats behind closed doors without compromise or in most cases without reading it.Reform? more like forced on by your government to have HC or else... my health issues are none of their damn business.
Then you don't know political history. Barry Goldwater was considered fringe in 1964 by Republicans. Reagan was considered to the left of him but still very conservative. Rockefeller, Nixon and Eisenhower were Republican mainstream.
Nixon gave us environmental protection and proposed a health care reform similar to Obama's and mainstream Republicans didn't crawl out of the woodwork screaming "Socialism."
Today, Eisenhower would be considered a left-winger by today's Republicans. This is an example of what Ike believed:
And don't forget one of the dem saints, Kennedy, LOWERED taxes. They wouldn't have him today
2010 is not old, first off. Secondly, I don't think anything is "rediculous unsupported"
Thirdly, again I did state some of things are not exactly the best, however, there are many things on the list that were accomplished.
The truth is that he has more than 0 accomplishments.
Lilly Leadbetter Fair Pay Act. The Healthcare Reform bill, which according to the CBO, will reduce the deficit by over 130 billion over the next 10 years. The Student Loan overhaul.
These alone are huge in the scope of what they changed and how they will help the public.
I see you didn't read where I stated there are laws on the books already for equal pay for equal work.
Health care, the majority of Americans are against that bill.
Student loans. The gov't has NO business in making such loans. They are not supposed to compete with private business.
And I like the way you put a dig in the last sentence..
But to that, I'll say...If you don't want people to misconstrue what you have said....then maybe you should go back and re-take English Composition 1 & 2 to ensure you are able to write so everyone can understand what yo say....
Or just stop drinking the kool-aid, and BAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
And don't forget one of the dem saints, Kennedy, LOWERED taxes. They wouldn't have him today
Umm... Obama actually lowered taxes for 95% of working families and also small businesses. Most people don't even know they got a tax cut under Obama, but a vast majority did. We also have the lowest tax rate since the 1950s. I'm not sure where you're getting your info.
Obamanomics isn’t working ! But then again he wasn’t voted in because of his past leadership roles. He has none to speak of other than community organizer. He was elected by a guilt ridden society desperate to prove they were not racist.
“Osama’s “stimulus” has actually undermined the economy’s recovery — while leaving us (thus far) $666 billion deeper in debt.”
