I'm starting to believe that Obama may bea GOOD thing. Hear me out, please... If he ends up shattering his own party under an anvil of social discontent over the policies he's enacting, we may see something good come out of this. We may see actual, true REFORM. Less laws...less taxes...less beuracracy. We just have to stop him from doing what he's doing. The masses aren't happy with what the current administration is doing to America. We may just yet see the Glory Days of government return...Ronnie Style. Indeed, he has destroyed the leftist meme, and more and more are waking up to it. |

President Obama inherited an incredible mess, a housing bubble caused by greed mostly on wall street, two unnecessary costly wars, joblessness due to outsourcing of America, joblessness due to manufacturing in China supported by mega corporations such as walmart, Bush's tax cuts even during (his personal war) wars, Corporate money which wants more money even if it hurts average Americans and their jobs and wages. In a sense you have to give him some credit as we have moved forward a small step. Money wants more power though, and it will fight him to keep it, even though they only make money because they live in a free nation with resources. The moral American is missing today. 'Obama had numerous accomplishments in his first year' "Passing stimulus, generating jobs. On February 17, 2009, Obama signed the $787 billion stimulus bill into law. In December 2009, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office issued a report estimating that "in the third quarter of calendar year 2009, an additional 600,000 to 1.6 million people were employed in the United States" due to that legislation. According to the White House Council of Economic Advisers, CBO has increased its estimate to 800,000 to 2.4 million additional employed through the fourth quarter of that year. Moreover, a November 20, 2009, New York Times article reported that the "consensus" among "dispassionate analysts" is that "the stimulus package, messy as it is, is working," citing nonpartisan analyses of gross domestic product and total employment figures by several companies specializing in economic forecasting. Further, a January 25 USA Today article stated that, according to its "quarterly survey of 50 economists," " nemployment would have hit 10.8% -- higher than December's 10% rate -- without Obama's $787 billion stimulus program," adding, "The difference would translate into another 1.2 million lost jobs."
Eliminating wasteful spending. Obama was able to achieve some significant cuts to wasteful spending -- most notably, the elimination of the F-22 fighter jet program after he successfully lobbied the Senate to vote to strip out financing for more jets from a defense funding authorization bill. The Washington Times reported on January 14 that Obama won "60 percent of his proposed cuts" and also managed "to get Congress to ax several programs that had bedeviled President George W. Bush for years."" mediamatters.org/research/201001270003 |

Obama has taken every problem and made it WORSE. He is like Bush on steroids, except none of his good qualities. He's started another war, made unemployment worse - record levels, misery index way up....
Worst. President. EVER !
Carter is probably a happy man right now. There is someone worse than him.

Do you have a brain in your head, midcam, because you don't ever use it. You just post goofy talking points from brain dead liberal sources like Mediablathers.

Repost:
Requirements for posting, whining and otherwise engaging in criticism of the Obama administration
In order to gain a perspective on why someone could or would have the moral and political wherewithal to criticize the Obama Administration after just a year and a half of governance, it is essential that their ideas and values concerning the past eight years be consistent. To be consistent one must have engaged in the following:
You criticized and condemned the Bush administration for its lack of action on immigration.
You criticized the Bush administration for its neglect of the intelligence concerning 911.
You wrote your representatives to protest the unnecessary invasion of Iraq.
You protested the loss of American life in the unnecessary invasion of Iraq.
You protested the trillions of dollars spent on wars that were either unnecessary or unwinnable.
You protested the Bush's administration inability to focus on the task in Afghanistan.
You condemned and protested the Bush administration for allowing Osama bin Laden to escape.
You criticized the Bush administration on their Medicare drug entitlement that gave drug companies free rein to rob the American tax payer.
You protested the lost of rights in American because of Homeland security and illegal wiretaps.
You protested against a deficit that grew and grew while Bush did nothing but advise shopping.
You protested tax policies that favored the rich and allowed our nation's infrastructure to collapse.
You actively discussed race and racial inequities during the Bush administration.
You did not whine about taxes as you drive America's roads and bridges and took advantage of a technologically advanced society.
You ride a bike or take public transportation to help keep America green.
You live in a home that is not part of suburban sprawl and is close to work and transportation so our monies do not only go to foreign nations.
You wrote corporations and congress concerning the outsourcing of American jobs.
You paid your taxes fairly realizing you were a participant in their use.
You tip your fellow Americans well and support an increase in wages for the lowest 20% of workers in America.
You support stores that support American wages with benefits and fair pay: Costco, Starbucks.
You buy American products: cars, tools etc. and write the business when their products are not made here.
You do not shop in Walmart or other businesses that do not support a fair wage.
If you voted Bush / Cheney whose reduced taxes to the wealthy created enormous deficits, a financial bubble of epic portion, and wasted trillions on war, then you cannot criticize Obama as you are part of the current problems. If you voted for Bush / Cheney the second time around you need your head examined as soon as possible.
If you are not without sin concerning the above, feel free to criticize the Obama administration. As the priests would intone after confession, if you did sin, please now shut up, try to practice the golden rule, oh and buy American.
And most of all, if you did not do most of the above and you now engage in the constant bickering, then you are simply a hypocrite.

Now he's back from slumin' with the people he considers beneath him, from a Canadian made bus with an over a million$ price tag. Then off to rub elbows with the elites he likes at Martha's Vineyard.

Speech to the CBC, absolutely hysterical. So funny the way his accent changes to black ghetto talk when he's in front of a black audience. They should be offended, and many are.
And what's with the "Jew, er janitor thing?" LOL

Most disagree and I think these people know a bit about presidents. '238 presidential scholars: Bush worst president of modern era, fifth worst in US history' "It’s another thing when the same is said by the nation’s 238 leading presidential scholars, who have been polled annually for the last 28 years. President Bush ranked worst among modern presidents — and the fifth worst in history, according to the poll by the Siena Research Institute. Ranking first? President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who led the country from 1933 until his death in 1945. President Roosevelt served four terms, the longest of any president in history. US presidents became limited to two terms after US states ratified the 22nd Amendment to the US constitution in 1951. President Barack Obama, who hasn’t yet served a full term, rated 15th." www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/07/01/nations-leading-presidential-scholars-bush-worst-president-modern-era-5th-worst-history/ |
