Seriously, what has Obama accomplished? Absolutely nothing.

All I know as bad as Obama you make it out to be, he is a world better than Bush. Bush couldn't even eat his pretzels right.

 

I guess we have it bad compared to the rest of the world

 

We have it good compared to the rest of the world. What's your point? That I shouldn't complain as long as I am paying less than $9 a gallon?

 

That Obama doesn't control world gas prices?

 

Thanks!

 

Yup and he stopped a global depression, passed a health care reform act, saved the u.s. auto industry, put the vice grip on Al Qaeda, and much much more. I'd say that was a productive two years before the republicans shut down the govt.

 

Wow, easy cowboy, Texx is going to be hurting from the pounding you just gave him.

I have to tip my hat to you. That has to be one of the most massive smack downs every delivered in the D&D.

 

LOL at this thread starting with the word "Seriously." smdh

 

That was truly an epic smackdown. As BigTexx is fond of saying about others, he needs to exit gracefully with his tail between his legs. He has been thoroughly exposed, defeated, and shamed. How absolutely embarrassing, BigTexx- ya likin' them apples, pud?

 

Just stopping by to observe the wreckage of this train wreck of a thread.

 

and the spatchcocking liberal cadre continues its fine work.

You make the same mistake as mark. These aren't accomplishments. Accomplishments would be positive results steming from signed legislation. Spending tax payer money:

is not an accomplishment. Americas youth being more educated is an accomplishment.


Only big government liberals would define success/accomplishments as spending tax payer money or signing legislation. Completely highlights how brainwashed Obama supporters are.

 

And how are you going to measure that?

 

As a result of:

Somebody should start a "What Has Rmoney Accomplished?" thread.



*snicker*

 

Test scores are how it's usually done, but that system has its flaws.

spending money does not equate to educating kids.



It doesn't take any courage or brilliance to throw a bunch of tax payer money at a problem. That's why your list isn't of accomplishments (though I'm sure Obama pats himself on the back for them).

 

Education: College

1. BROAD POLICY:
2. Enacted largest reform of student aid in 40 years. ref, ref
3. Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010. ref
4. Established President’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability to assist in financial education for all Americans. ref, ref, ref

5. FUNDING:
6. Increased funding for land-grant college. ref
7. Provided means for students struggling to make college loan payments to refinance. ref

8. TARGETED ACTIONS:
9. Expanded Pell grants for low-income students. ref
10. Expanded Pell grant pool by eliminating private lender subsidies for student loans. ref

 

Legislation signed are quantifiable things and are the tangible catalyst for changes. Whether the effects are true or not, or good or bad will always be up for debate, so it'd be utterly pointless and even counter-productive to put a list of those up in this forum.

Besides that, the accusation of the OP is not that Obama did the wrong things (an understandable accusation) or ineffectual things, but that he did nothing at all for good or ill. And that is obviously complete BS.

 

Is that a JCDenton chart?
