The most revealing aspect of the BP oil spill was that it showed to the world that America currently has no President. In the sense that Mr. Obama is something like a doppelganger of Mr. Bush during Katrina? Much worse. At least with Bush you knew where he stood. I believe with Obama there is nobody home. He is a ghost. He doesn’t do anything. He is a Manshurian Candidate, he is a robot, he is nothing. He has done nothing, he is doing nothing, he will never do anything. Obama is just waiting to get a job at Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan in three or four years time and that’s it. The White House is a way to improve his resume. The BP oil spill revealed that America is running with no leadership at all. There is nobody at the helm of the ship. It’s running wild with no leadership whatsoever.

When reading the list one gets the feeling that the great Obama is trying to take credit for the sun shining and the birds chirping, much like the propaganda you might hear in a typical communist dictatorship. It sort of hearkens me back to all the "walks on water" jokes that were told about him during the campaign... and the Roman colliseum-type structure that was built for one of his speeches so that he could play the part of a Greek god.

His presidency is more like a Greek tragedy than anything. Judging by his poll numbers hes gonna need more than propaganda this fall, hes gonna need some real results if hes to pull his mess out of the fire. Something other than blaming everything were seeing on Congress (or on Bush) as well.


Every post you make is jabbering propaganda.

Why did you even post this? It wasn't in response to anything anyone had said to your last post. Couldn't it have been contained in there?

Will you return to the thread every time you think up a "clever" quip... "The oil spill was er... a greek tragedy- I bet he wont uh- take credit for! Socialism socialism communist".

I certainly would not say they are indivdual accomplishments of BO. They are items contained in bills he supported.

There was no spin.  The above list IS a line item list of things contained in legislation under BO.
You tell me how that is spinning anything ?.
Anyone could make a 100+ list of accomplishments of any president if they listed individually from each bill passed/supported during their presidency.

But a minority has to work with the majority to realize initiatives.

Well judging from that list, I think you are being overly generous in calling it an "accomplishment"!

Certainly they were able to scale down quite a few things. As Democrats aren't a unified voting block, Republican opposition on matters from public option to economic policy makes a difference.

Yes, and that's the elephant in the room. Cries of Republican "obstructionism" mainly serve the face-saving purpose of diverting attention away from the fact that the Democrats couldn't even unite their own members behind the Party's programs. But instead of manning up and admitting that their initiatives either failed or ended up watered down because they couldn't obtain the unified support of their own Party, we just get this endless finger-pointing at "the Party of 'No'". Fucking bullshit. I don't know how it's possible to have any respect for either of them anymore.

Cmon. Got his daughter a puppy?

This list is bullshit, hes taking credit for a lot of things that Congress did, that the Forest Service routinely does (such as clearing brush) , etc.

And listing

quote:

Economy, Employment and Labor
1. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA): A $789 billion economic stimulus plan.


as an achievement is laughable. The money was wasted on pork that didnt do anything for the economy in the long run and severely plunged us into debt.



Funny, I have personally seen a lot of road and infrastructure construction beibg completed in and around Chicago with the "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" sign posted to show how the construction was being paid for.

Once again I can only assume you are posting complete bullshit as usual.

Ever wonder what those "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" political ads which are being placed at taxpayers expense are costing us? And if "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" is really working why is unemployment still going up.

Obviously because the money was all spent on pork which was what you originally posted. Which is not true.

How about this one Einstein. The jobs created by the "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" were not enough to offset the amount of jobs being lost.

Pretty simple math even for Chuck.

The stimulius money is drying up, and what did it get us?

Government doesnt stimulate anything, it seizes money from the private sector where is actually useful then divides it among a plethora of bureaucrats before it ever makes it back into the private sector where it can once again do anyone any good. If government could spend its way through bad times then all any government would have to do to be fantastically successful is print more money, but thats just not the way things work in reality, is it.

Tax cuts combined with government spending cuts are what stimulate.
