This thread is about Obama's accomplishments.



Oh I'm sorry, I forgot Dems think that accomplishments and failures are the same. My bad.


Maybe Dems think that but I don't.

The accomplishments are true.

No matter who doesn't like it.


You can put a pig in a dress and it looks cute, but it still is what it is.

Apparently slaughtered would mean losing EVERY possible seat in both houses and the white house. Because there is no win or lose to liberals.

I asked you earlier in the thread if you thought what was on the website wasn't true. You didn't answer. So, do you think it's not true? And if so, what exactly was not true?

Issued executive order to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay.
Its still open and housing prisoners almost a year after he said it was to be closed.

Tax cuts for up to 3.5 million small businesses to help pay for employee health care coverage.
That's nice, but considering small business isn't going to take a hit from government run health care like big business are going to, because small businesses have 100 or less employees and aren't going to be funding Obama run health care anyway.

Provided stimulus funding to boost private sector spaceflight programs.
Giving money to already rich people, to get them into space tourism? Wow!

The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009: a $789 billion economic stimulus plan.(well it ended up being close to 2 trillion)
Was supposed to go to tax payers and create more jobs. 80 million went to tax payers, the rest was just pork that went to pay for things that were already funded, or didn't need to be done. Thus recovering nothing, increase the size of non-essential and unneeded government positions, thus reinvesting in government not the people.

Created more private sector jobs in 2010 than during entire Bush years?
Explain the close to 10% unemployment rate then? He might have created more jobs, but his rampant government spending and other fiscal errors have caused more jobs to be lost than have been gained. Which means gross, he may have had some influence on job creation, but net people working is less than when he took office. So less people are working, yet he's created more private sector jobs in 2010 alone? I took first grade math, and you can't have a higher unemployment rate after a year and still claim to have created more jobs.

Signed New START Treaty - nuclear arms reduction pact with Russia?
Ok this is one of what, a dozen other such treaties? why is this an accomplishment?

Here's several of them from the site:

Reversed 'global gag rule', allowing US aid to go to organizations regardless of whether they provide abortions.


Signed New START Treaty - nuclear arms reduction pact with Russia.


Tax cuts for up to 3.5 million small businesses to help pay for employee health care coverage.


Increased average fuel economy standards from 27.5mpg to 35.5mpg, starting in 2016.





"Global gag rule" yep, also allows US aid to go to organizations that use violence against US to promote their 'agenda'...

START would have been signed if bozo the clown had been elected president... It was in the works allready... and it was finalized by H. Clinton not B. Obama... All he did was sign.

Tax cuts for 'up to' 3.5 million small businesses (for help with HC)... Yet the actual need to cut the upper tax brackets (you forgot abut the 42 million small business that report as 'individual') was blocked, which will result in across the board increases in HC costs. (what good to 'save' 3.5 mil while hurting 42 mill - have a problem with fractions growing up?).

Increased Avg Fuel Economy... by a few percent... Yet the PRICE OF THE CAR WENT UP as a direct result... and so did the prices of fuel.
Where is the savings there.

Spin me another tale...

Bet I got some factoids that will remove the 'glory' from the spin.
