/dev/null Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) I'm sorry to interrupt the threads on Romney being a liar, somebody who outsourced jobs, and is in general a greedy capitalist 1%er. But let's take a side trip and discuss a trivial matter in this 2012 election. Lets discuss the record of the Obama Administration What accomplishments merit a second term? *Edit: Mods, do me a favor.

Jauronimo Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I credit Obama for the positive workings of the business cycle, for not abandoning the hunt for Bin Laden, and for the sun coming up this morning.

DC Tom Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 If Romney is president the sun wouldn't come up anymore. Only if he doesn't release his tax records.

Jauronimo Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 If Romney is president the sun wouldn't come up anymore. It probably would, but it sure wouldn't rise due to Romney's beneficence, but rather because of the natural laws governing our solar system. Jobs lost would be due to Romney's incompetence while jobs gained would be due the workings of the business cycle. Thwarting terror would be a no brainer rather than a crowning achievement. Romney will get no participation trophies.
TakeYouToTasker Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Hrmmm... Well, it is really hard to repress an economy as large and resilient as the US economy, and he's managed that. So I guess that's something. Edited July 13, 2012 by TakeYouToTasker
Park Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 He got us out of Iraq over the loud and angry protests of the guy he ran against. Thank God! His policies eased the recession and kept it from getting much worse, again, over the protests of the GOP He bailed out the auto industry that Mitt Romney said should go bankrupt and that would fail, but when it didn't Mitt changed his story to make it seem like Obama listed to him all along. He put two liberals on the supreme court He has passed major health care reform which has and will help millions get, um, well, health care. He's cut payroll taxes He's such a good President!

To be fair, there's plenty of other structural issues contributing to the economy. His leadership is a minor point. But he did overturn decades if not centuries of financial law and practice by strong-arming GM's lenders into giving up their rights in favor of the unions. So that's something.

He has passed major health care reform which has and will help millions get, um, well, health care. Health INSURANCE, you idiot. Nowhere is health care addressed. He's cut payroll taxes So'd Bush.

I feel the GOP has done nothing but try to render his administration ineffective. Rather than solve some issues, they have been fighting him the whole time. I never seen so much disrespect for an American President. (Joe Wilson, the great DICK Cheney, Eric Cantor) How about those beloved Right wingers do their jobs they were elected to do.

IDBillzFan Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 How about those beloved Right wingers do their jobs they were elected to do. You mean like pass a budget?
dpberr Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Obama's record will be putting Republicans in the White House for the next 16 years. He'll do better than Carter who put Republicans in the White House for 12. If folks thought the Democratic Party was burnt to the ground in 1980, they haven't seen anything yet.

You prove me wrong Insurance leads to care to you moron Deficits help ease recessions and provide pumping priming, deficits happen boo hoo Ya Obama!!!
DC Tom Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Ha ha, technically, we are still in France, too, so piss on you. We're not talking about France, we're talking about Iraq. You prove me wrong No. You made the affirmative statement. Burden's on you. Insurance leads to care to you moron No. Insurance is insurance. Care is care. I pay for my own health care out of pocket, sans insurance. Deficits help ease recessions and provide pumping priming, deficits happen boo hoo In other words...you support the Bush tax cuts as well...?

And the "prevented the next great depression" made me LOL.
