What President Obama has done for me and my family.
 I’m sorry that President Obama is being attacked mercilessly from both sides of our nation’s increasingly polarized political spectrum. I knew he would be vilified by the right, but I’m a bit surprised at the condemnation from the left.

Well, I appreciate what President Obama has done for my family and me. Because of his massive stimulus program, our tax return was somewhere between $800-$1200 more than it would have been otherwise. We used this money to pay back bills, so it immediately went back out into the economy, providing a real stimulus. Without his auto bailout, three – count them, three – of my in-laws would have lost their jobs. We live with my mother-in-law, and we split the household bills. Without that bailout, she wouldn’t have a job, and we’d be out in the streets.

I lost my job in March of 2009, and although I thankfully didn’t need the unemployment insurance extensions, I’m certainly glad my friends who still haven’t found jobs will be getting their extensions now. I didn’t like the tax cut extensions for the rich, but if that’s what it took to keep my friends from getting evicted, I’ll talk them. As for me, I’m working part-time now and going to school. I’ll be applying for student loans fairly soon, and because Obama overhauled the student loan program, I’ll be paying far less back in the future because I’m borrowing directly from the government, not Sally Mae or some other company.

The president also enacted the toughest set of regulations on the financial industry since the great depression, in an effort to prevent another economic meltdown. If these regulations had been in place in, say, 2002, we likely wouldn’t have been in this situation in the first place. It’s nice knowing an effort is being made to ensure that my children will not have their own great recession through which they’ll suffer because Wall Street got drunk.

It’s also nice knowing that if my kids get sick, no insurance company can ever turn them away because of a pre-existing condition. And it’s nice knowing that in the future, if they can’t afford health insurance, the government will provide them subsidies so they can buy some. It’s nice knowing, furthermore, that businesses are getting tax breaks to do the right thing and cover their employees.

Thank you, President Obama, for the greatest expansion of the social safety net since the great society.

He says he got between $800-1,200 more on his taxes.

Doesn't he know?  Sounds like DNC talking points hot off the fax machine to me.

I am loathe to correct a lady, Tess, but I'm afraid you're mistaken here...

Our friend here is spouting, point for point, in order, TOTUS' so-called "accomplishments" directly from the Obama for America website.

In other words, he's a lazy, ****ing poseur who couldn't even be bothered to settle on a number between 800 and 1200.  :bird:

And from the link I posted yesterday, he will probably owe most of that back this year.  Boo hoo.
