End the Iraq war in 16 months?
oh and these little nuggets....
1. Make government open and transparent.
2. Make it "impossible" for Congressmen to slip in pork barrel projects.
3. Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public. (Even Congressional Republicans shut out.)
4. No more secrecy.
5. Public will have 5 days to look at a bill.
6. You’ll know what’s in it.
7. We will put every pork barrel project online.
He's a regular honest Abe..
He's ending the war in 19 months and having most withdrawn by 16. Whoooo.... horrible. He always kept open to the realities on the ground. That is wise.
1. Obama has taken enormous steps to making government more transparent and more collaborative. I have been nothing but impressed with his efforts.
2. What one defines as "pork" another defines as stimulus. Most who are open to the idea of any government spending (which you're not) feel it's a pretty balanced - if imperfect - stimulus package.
3. It has come out that Congressional Republicans voluntary withheld from participating in those meetings.
4. See above.
5. I don't know when he gave the 5 day clause (please cite credible sources when you make accusations), but it was pretty stupid that the congress rammed the bill through at midnight. I don't think Obama had any control over that, though. We're not a dictatorship.
That's not an accurate statement. You could just as easily say that the top 1% own all the jobs--they may have bought those jobs not built them. How do you know which is the case from that data? BTW - The most wealthy tend to consolidate and maintain their wealth, not create and build up a lot of new enterprises. They typically want to buy income streams to maintain their wealth.

Yet to be seen. And 50,000 left behind isn't ending conflict, it's keeping the bases operational for when we have to go back.

So you had time to read that last round of legislation? 5 days to be exact?

Google it! Really this one made me bust a gut... It should say We are not a dictatorship YET!!!
Right now it's just a blind RAT love fest of the chosen one...
Isn't it funny: When the U.S. government redistributes income from the middle class to the rich, that's capitalism. That's the "real America." But when we FINALLY get a President who redistributes income BACK to middle class, that's "socialism." That's the "end of America."
What crapola.
