------How is this an accomplishment? We are supposed to avoid foreign entanglements. If we want to have a debate on mecury emissions, fine. Lets not aritrarily sign with our enemies a bill that will drive up electricity costs when there are solutions we dont have time to implement.

Mar. 30 2009 – Obama signs the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009, which serves to protect two million acres of land and creates a new system of land conservation for the Bureau of Land Management.

-----As if we didnt have enough bureaucracy. This is straight out of marxs ten points. Wanna bet on whether there is oil under those 2million acres?


May 19 2009 – Obama teams up with the auto industry to raise the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards to an average of 35.5 mpg by 2016. The program is reported to save up to 1.8 billion barrels of oil or 900 million tons of greenhouse gases. (source)

------So the government is going to dictate what we drive by artificially raising cost. This forces the children to die in tiny unsafe cars and is a major problem for people like me that need trucks to operate a business.

---------So appointing someone to oversee a handout of trillions to globalist bankers is an acomplishment? Im not following you.

Mar. 9 2009 – Lifts ban on embryonic stem cell research. A major move in changing the politics of research and science in the United States.

---------There never was a ban on stem cell research. There was a ban on federally funding it. During that time they found a way to use adult stem cells just as effectively, so this is nothing more than a way to thumb his nose at the po-life cowd, continuing divide and conquer politics as usual.

May 22, 2009 – Creates a credit card bill of rights. Limits unwarranted spending and gives consumers more options to pay their bills on time. It has been debated if this will negatively affect the industry.

---------Its an empty shell, most people coldnt even make sense of it, le alone exercise their rights under it. The average american will remain a slave to credit cards in the foreseeable future.

May 22, 2009 – Tries to curb wasteful spending by the Pentagon on the defense budget by signing the Weapons System Acquisition Reform Act. Intended to price contracts and budgets lower; may potentially save billions of dollars in defense.

-------Uhh yeah...save money by cutting new weapons systems, one of the few things we DONT mind paying taxes for and one of the only legal things the government does, provide for the common defense.

Obama is the devil

Obama is God

Obama is evil

Obama is the source of all goodness

Obama will destroy the country

Obama will save the world

Obama eats babies

Obama said let the children come to me




all of this gets old. he is just a guy doing the best job he can. He's gonna screw some things up and he's gonna do some really good things

just like Bush

its the same propaganda smear tactic dirt throwing stuff that we just saw for 8 years against Bush. Just a different set of special interest groups doing it


I agree except that I can't imagine anyone worse than Bush myself but okay.


how 'bout Nixon?




No, Bush was worse. Bush made a laughing stock of this country. Nixon did not do that.



What we are looking at on all our TV sets is a man who finally, after 24 years of frenzied effort, became the President of the United States with a personal salary of $200,000 a year and an unlimited expense account including a fleet of private helicopters, jetliners, armored cars, personal mansions and estates on both coasts and control over a budget beyond the wildest dream of King Midas . . . and all the dumb bastard can show us, after five years of total freedom to do anything he wants with all this power, is a shattered national economy, disastrous defeat in a war we could have ended four years ago on far better terms than he finally came around to, and a hand-picked personal staff put together through five years of screening, whose collective criminal record will blow the minds of high-school American History students for the next 100 years.

All presidents and all Congresses are bad by nature. That's why the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution were invented-to limit them as best as possible. The best president so far is William Henry Harrison, because he died before he could do significant damage! laugh
