no president accomplishes or fails at anything single handed, because we have a government of hundreds,,

but , positives that have happened under his presidency:

increased fuel efficiency standards
sanctions on iran
troops out of Afghanistan
kicked the banks out of student loans
ghaddafis forty year rule over Libya ended
mubaraks thirty year rule over Egypt ended
big three automakers gained market share for first time in 20 years
Osama bin laden gone
health care reform passed
fair sentencing act
recovery.gov for citizens to track gov funds
ended purchase of unused military f-22s



just a few things,, not that this thread is for any genuine attempt to do more than continue to 'downplay' any possible positives that have occurred since his first election,, and give each other more pats on the back for agreeing he is the anti Christ/worst person to ever be in office,,,,,etc,,,

but , positives that have happened under his presidency:

increased fuel efficiency standards
sanctions on iran- closer to a neuclear weapon then ever before
troops out of Afghanistan- I think you meant Iraq, after shedding all the blood and treasure it is now very de-stabalized..should have left small operations groups to monitor and prevent another insurency like in all wars(Japan,Germany,Korea etc) now because of Obama all that bloodshed is for nothing.
kicked the banks out of student loans- now students can't file banckrupcy against government issued loans and will owe money till the day they die..guess thats good.
ghaddafis forty year rule over Libya ended-more bloodshed in the last five years then in the previous 100 and formed and islamic strong hold.
mubaraks thirty year rule over Egypt ended-again more bloodshed then ever and on the verge of being controlled by Al Quida
big three automakers gained market share for first time in 20 years
Osama bin laden gone- done by the Seals on intel from Bush admin
health care reform passed- government control over you life with less people actually insured!
fair sentencing act- more bureaucraticB.S.
recovery.gov for citizens to track gov funds- More funds being secretly spent by fed then any time in history,obama blocking Conress right to audit the Treasury.
ended purchase of unused military f-22s- there are no "unused" Raptors, he wants to block building more of our most advanced military aircraft.

He hasn't done one good thing yet...everything he touches is a disaster..what do you expect from a community organizer frustrated laugh

Face it, most of those " accomplishments", he had little or no control over. They would happen if he were president or not.
I think that Obama was well meaning but to be honest, he was not qualified for the job.

I stated to begin with that NO PRESIDENT Has singular control over much of anything that happens under their presidency,, which is why I worded it the way I did and the way I fell it should be, in terms of the positive things happening since he became president,, whether people choose to let him share in the credit for those things as easily as they insist he take the blame for other things,, is entirely up to them

I do , however, believe everything in the list were things needing his signature and approval to move forward,,,,

Believe me he had advisers before he signed anything. But overall, he had no qualifications or experience for the job.

just another 'attaboy' thread for the haters to pretend in,,,


carry on,,,by all meanswhoa


huh Haters?

There you go again, using ad hominem against people because they are criticizing President Obama's policies.

I started this thread so that President Obama's supporters could offer examples of positive things that President Obama has been responsible for. I wanted to add balance to the debates in this forum.

As for the passage of the ACA, that isn't a good thing according to physicians.

Here is an excerpt from a newspaper story about it:

New York doctors are treating ObamaCare like the plague, a new survey reveals.

A poll conducted by the New York State Medical Society finds that 44 percent of MDs said they are not participating in the nation’s new health-care plan...

... The survey invited doctors to anonymously share opinions about the new health care law, and many took time out of their busy days to vent.

"Obama Care wants to start right away, but who see all these new patients???? Not me," e-mailed one doc.

Another said, "I plan to retire if this disaster is implemented. This is a train wreck."

"I refuse to participate in the exchange plans! I am completely opposed to this new law," said a third respondent.

One doctor recycled the mantra used to attack addictions: "The solution is simple: Just say no."

One physician was so disgusted, he threatened to taken only cash patients going forward.

"I am seriously considering opting out of all insurance plans including Medicare because of [ObamaCare]."

Some physicians said the pressure on insurance carriers to control costs is leading to rationed care.

"OBAMACARE is a disaster. I have already seen denial of medication, denial of referrals," one doc said.

And they worry that stingy payments for medical services offered by insurers could put some doctors out of business and force others into retirement.

"Any doctor who accepts the exchange is just a bad businessman/woman. Pays terrible," argued one doctor.

Said another MD, "Can't imagine any doctors would be willing to work for so little money? All doctors should boycott."

Doctors complained they've gotten the shaft for years even before ObamaCare.

"I get screwed from insurance companies already. I refuse to get screwed any longer," one doctor said.

Others said they don't have enough information to make an informed choice.

"This is a joke. We are flying blind," said one doctor.

seems like he has the leadership, intelligence, ethic, and knowledge required to do the job,,,
