He saved the economy from complete meltdown that would have resulted in the worst depression in human history.

He immediately worked to get children health care.

He got health care reform passed after nearly a century of politicians talking about it.

He's standing down in Iraq.

He's got a plan in Afghanistan.

And now, he's got a new START treaty ready to go with the Russians.

Most two term presidents aren't as accomplished as this.

8. this week alone has been amazing   
   
- HCR passed
- START treaty
- New mortgage assistance plan
- Standing up to RW PM of Israel

and the week isn't even over yet... 

   
He saved the economy from complete meltdown that would have resulted in the worst depression in human history. Some would argue that it hasn't fully bottomed out yet, and that he just prolonged the worst to the detriment of our children and their children.

He immediately worked to get children health care. By adding to the debt.

He got health care reform passed after nearly a century of politicians talking about it. By adding massively to the debt, and increasing the likelihood of worse health care for all but the very wealthy.

He's standing down in Iraq. He's following a timeline agreed upon by President Bush and the Iraqi government.

He's got a plan in Afghanistan. Yep, let the war cost enough American lives until the public wants us out.

And now, he's got a new START treaty ready to go with the Russians. Still has to be ratified, and already some problems have cropped up.  Likely 0Bowmore got taken to the cleaners.

Most two term presidents aren't as accomplished as this. He is still an empty suit being pushed around by world leaders.

That certainly sums it up in a much more descriptive sentence than I was thinking..... :lmao:

Forget about violence against Dem elected officials. Teabaggers should be taking out DUmmies. It will improve the gene pool tremendously.

Gimme a break. In a short 14 months he has surpassed Carter as the most ineffective president in history. 1000 years from now, obama and Nero will be spoken in the same sentence as disasters for their respective countries. His will be a legacy of disdain.

Obama thinks he's a great leader but he's clueless.

That crowd behind that he thinks he's leading.....actually, they're chasing him.

The fact that there's not the world's largest pool of vomit at the foot of his bathroom mirror would tend to reinforce this analysis. :puke:

He saved the economy from complete meltdown that would have resulted in the worst depression in human history.  Would you be referring to the rescue package Bush passed after the election there, because that pretty much staunched the red ink by the time your lad took the oath...of course once Wall Street realized Obama had won the election, that's when things really went into free fall, but you idiots don't seem to see the connection there.

He immediately worked to get children health care.  I work to win the Lotto every week, does that make me a millionaire?...No?   

He got health care reform passed after nearly a century of politicians talking about it.  Without public option or single payer, it's really more of just a giant and messy insurance law, when you get down to brass tacks, and one that may or may not actually accomplish anything good.

He's standing down in Iraq.  Executing the treaty to close out our ops there which Bush signed.  What was Obama's effect on this again?

He's got a plan in Afghanistan.  It appears to involve leaving, no matter what, in another year or so.  Helluva plan, I calls it.  He's a regular von Manstein, he is!

And now, he's got a new START treaty ready to go with the Russians.  Which is an essentially meaningless, feel-good thing for aging bomb-banners and other types who haven't followed the new out of Russia very much for the past 20 years.

Most two term presidents aren't as accomplished as this.  If most two term Presidents had two terms like Jimmy Carter's one, that would be true.

One of the GREATEST FAILURES at ACTING LIKE SOMETHING PRESIDENTIAL in history....
