Like him or not, the man deserves credit for...

[Infoproliferati]

1. Preventing the economy from spiraling into what could have been a depression.

2. Getting insurance companies to extend coverage to folks with pre-existing conditions.

3. Tax reduction for those who aren't rich or wealthy. Someone needs to inform those tea party people.

4. Restarting stem cell research (could be a good thing)

5. Getting troops out of Iraq.

6. Signing a nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia.

7. Sonia Sotomayor

8. Credit card Reform

Not bad for a guy who inherited an economy that was sick to its marrow. For those who are tired of defending Obama, well, you've got 8 good reasons to continue supporting him. For those who don't have anything good to say about any of those facts, remember you have absolutely no idea how hard it is to get any one of those things done.

When it comes to the issue of jobs, blame Obama all you want. Just remember to blame congress too. The amount of time that is wasted in childish partisan discourse about which party has the best solutions to boost the economy, is the real hurt locker for unemployed Americans. What makes one party think a pledge (with or without solutions) means anything to people whose minds are cluttered with worries of how they will live or survive tomorrow? What makes the other party think that some of the most challenging problems America faces today will eventually go away by paying partial attention? To blame Obama only, is to miss the hand of politics played by BOTH sides.

Right on.....but lets not forget his efforts at recognizing and working toward ending our dependency on oil, especially foreign oil. Not only is this absolutely necessary for a lasting peace and stable ecocomy but even more important is the curtailment of dumping vast amounts of co2 into our atmosphere which causes health problems to humans as well as to our planet.

Climate change will eventually destroy us if ignored. Obama has already done more to bring this knowledge to the vast majority than any other President so far. His efforts, especially in the face of great opposition from those who benefit from the continuence of burning fossil fuels for energy as well as their pawns who are brainwashed into ignoring the dangers, should be recognized and applauded.

1. Preventing the economy from spiraling into what could have been a depression.

Pure speculation with nothing to back it up.

2. Getting insurance companies to extend coverage to folks with pre-existing conditions.

Sounds great, but if your going to credit Obama for this, you must credit him for the Health insurance companies now DROPPING "Child Only" Coverage.

3. Tax reduction for those who aren't rich or wealthy. Someone needs to inform those tea party people.

What reduction? For any tax reduction theirs a tax increase somewhere...... And wait until Jan 2011 when the Bush tax cuts expire. In case you don't know, Obama WANTS them to expire and when they do, this country is going to be in a recession like no other.

4. Restarting stem cell research (could be a good thing)

Yeah, it "could be". Depending how you look at it.

5. Getting troops out of Iraq.

Were NOT out yet... And troop withdrawals were going to happen regardless of who was President.

6. Signing a nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia.

After Reagan, what President couldn't do that?,m Bush and Yeltsin agreed to one as well.... What about Obama getting NK or Iran to sign a treaty? They are our biggest threat right now aren't they? The person you really should be giving credit to is Ronald Reagan for ending the cold war and getting the Soviets to reducing their nuclear arms.

7. Sonia Sotomayor

How is appointing a Liberal Racist in any way deserving of credit?, unless of course your a racist yourself.

8. Credit card Reform

OK, I'd say this is your best (and only) example of giving credit where it's due..... But keep in mind the reform bill also created several loopholes... Here's one example.

Not bad for a guy who inherited an economy that was sick to its marrow. For those who are tired of defending Obama, well, you've got 8 good reasons to continue supporting him. For those who don't have anything good to say about any of those facts, remember you have absolutely no idea how hard it is to get any one of those things done.

8 reasons?... More like 1.

For every reason your citing, I can name off at 5 major reasons NOT to support him, and so can Millions of other Americans.

I've been blaming congress since they took control of both Houses in 2006, that's when all our troubles really began. When both houses remained in Democratic control in 2008 and a Radical leftist entered the executive branch, I and millions of other Americans knew we were in for a world of HURT for the next 4 years.


The "Jobs Stimulus Bill" was the biggest indicatorl, Most of us knew it would not improve the private sector, Obama's priority for passing that bill was for the benefit of the Public Sector, keeping State and Federal Employees working, Hiring more employees, giving hundreds of millions of dollars to Colleges and Universities for their budget shorfalls and giving Billions to the Unions, all these were far more important to this President than helping Small Businesses grow, helping the private sector grow.... It's no wonder why most Republicans were opposed to the Bill, because the knew it would be ineffective.... That Bill cost the Tax Payers $787 BILLION Dollars, a $787 BILLION Dollar FAILURE.....

Obama's economist's projected the Bill would create (NOT SAVE), CREATE 3.3 MILLION jobs, since that time over 3 MILLION jobs have been LOST!, It was Obama and HIS administration that projected this, NOT Congress.... The way to create job growth in the private sector is with drastic tax cuts and LESS regulation... That's what Republicans want, but that of course won't happen because it's in direct conflict with Obama's ideology.

Climate change will eventually destroy us if ignored.

What happened to your use of Global Warming?

LMAO... This is just like you, Global Warming was exposed for the fraud that it is, and now your using "Climate Change"

I think I like the new White House term for Global Warming much better; "global climate disruption."

Thank you, I appreciate that.... One of our good friends is running for Mayor (locally) and one of our relatives is running for city council in another State.... If I do seek public office, I'll be sure to make the announcement on DNF

Cutting Medicare for older people, Just let them die, Yes, its a Democrat thing.

The sooner elderly people die, the LESS money Government needs to payout in Social Securoty and Medicare..... And with ObamaCare on the way, Government will be doing just that.

When Obama is dying of lung cancer, I hope it's a old person who pulls the plug.

8. Credit card Reform

You must not have any credit cards.
Everyone I have asked has received in the last year:

1. Double or more interest rate increases
2. Credit limits cut in half or more
3. Increased amount due payments

All of these people stated they had excellent credit and couldn't understand why this happened.

Recovery my ass.

I believe this post was mistakenly placed in the Political Section instead of the Humor Section. I'll support Raider any day now.

Perhaps you'd prefer to list the many accomplishments of "W" so we have something to compare to. Now that would indeed be humorous...

I didn't realize this, but then again I only use Debit Visa and Mastercards.

Obama is a **** up of a president. He wasn't qualified to be POTUS in the first place but that didn't stop millions of idiotic college kids from voting for him. I bet they have buyers remorse now.

I bet a lot of people voted for him when they realized that McCain was old and unwell and that therefore Palin might actually become POTUS during this term. Just sayin'.

Nominating Sarah Palin was a hail mary that did not work. I know many people who otherwise would have voted for McCain and were turned off by that.

The bottom line is an election is about a choice. Normally the lesser of two evils. McCain was not exactly a compelling candidate and Palin was just the icing on the cake.
