Maybe this should be a sticky so as the failures, assaults on the taxpayers and faux pas continue to accumulate, they can be added on.
A living document of sorts.

To be fair:

List your issue as you did in the OP;
provide the President's reasoning behind the issue - as explained by the President, no paraphrasing; and
provide the results of his actions per each issue - without editorializing or abridging. Let the readers judge them as failures or successes.

Your error is producing a list of phrases without context, and trying to sway your readers to the same conclusions.

It actually does look like a list of talking points that was copied from the original on Rush Limppaw's desk.

I'll ask again...is something misleading in this list? something listed that never happened?is something fabricated?
you see ..it's the same thing Glen Beck does.......tell me where the facts are wrong.....don't attack me, the messenger, the occurrence has happened, factual history, attack the fact if your venom needs to Peirce something, then let it be the meat , not the wheels of the cart......show some substance for cryin' out loud.
