Topic: President Barack Obama Named Time's Person of the Year | |
---|---|
For the second time....
From a shortlist that included a Pakistani teenager, the new leader of Egypt and a former president, Barack Obama has for the second time been named Time magazine's person of the year. In an essay on the weekly decision, Michael Scherer, the magazine's White House correspondent, points to "the Obama effect," and how it can be quantified. "It could be measured — in wars stopped and started; industries saved, restructured or reregulated; tax cuts extended; debt levels inflated; terrorists killed; the health-insurance system reimagined; and gay service members who could walk in uniform with their partners," Scherer wrote. ![]() http://abcnews.go.com/US/president-barack-obama-named-times-person-year/story?id=18013960#.UNHiEm_LStM |

Killed more women and kids than militants with his drone strikes, ruined the economy, sold us out to the UN, restricted our liberties and freedoms, spent more on campaigning, vacations, golf and travel than of his predecessors, imported more opium, caused the deaths of our foreign ambassadors, promoted perpetual war with the ME, and increased gov't by 40% in just 4 years.....that quite a record to be proud of! Nope! If he weren't buying the image the public sees he would have been on the list of terrorists with his namesake Osama! |

If he weren't buying the image the public sees he would have been on the list of terrorists with his namesake Osama! more baseless accusations,,, for clarification,, my use of 'historical' implies to things that are unique or firsts in no more kids have been killed by american strikes under him than under his predecessors the economy was 'ruined' before he came in no DATA on how much he 'spends' on his personal ventures unless you know his accountant als no DATA on his importing opium not the firs president to have an ambassador killed while in office federal spending always grows during a recession, which again, started before obama took office |

FAILED "affordable healthcare is not a tax!"..... FAILED "I promise if elected I will NOT use signing statements as those before me!"...FAILED "I promise to give the American people 5 days to review all bills before presenting them to congress"....FAILED The list goes on and on! 83 drone strikes in the 8 years of Bush, over 800 in 4 years of Obozo.... I don't think your argument holds much water there! Now 1600 more CIA agents to be hired, trained and deployed in the ME to disrupt those countries even further. $6 TRILLION added to the debt in just 4 years...even more than in Bushs' 8 (and I thought he was bad!)! Negative budget increases in the amount of $1.6T every year now (and rising!)! He's a noted liar, a murderer, and doesn't have a clue how to do or fix anything but what he is told by his handlers.... and they only care about themselves! The devastation of America continues 4 more years! |

The devastation of America continues 4 more years! yep, failed 'promises' are also not a historical occasion in the white house,,,,, 'drones' being just one more tool of war also are not unique or historical at this point,, although they may have saved more AMERICAN lives by being used, then the previous less technologically advanced tools,,,, as well as the other allegations (Except for the debt which is also not entirely on Obamas shoulders enough to give him the historical blame) ...none of which can not also be claimed of the presidents before him,,, what IS unique in this term,,,the end of one of our longest 'wars' the repeal of dadt the support of SS marriage passage of healthcare reform the first black president (first president with at least one black parent and culturally identifiable as black) the first president in years to try and promote a diplomacy and discussion first policy regarding foreign relations president who avoided a second depression,,, |

It's just Time's person of the year. It can't be too prestigious, Hitler won it once.
