Name A Problem Obama Has Solved. Bin Laden Doesn't Count

[tooAlive]

The problem is that Obama isn't an emperor, a dictator or a king.

If he was he would've accomplished many more things.

 

[boedicca]

Yeah! If only everybody had to do What He Says!

 

[Avorysuds]

50 examples provided and 50 deflections and excuses later. The op demands more. Does any think if they gave 100 more that they change their minds?

Your list was crap, in fact it was so full of shit you accidently gave credit to Obama for things/policies/TARP/Ending Iraq war and so on that Bush did.

You also gave credit for things to Obama that he never solved when the question was asking for a list of things Obama solved. You gave a list of policies, not fixes. Do you even know the difference?

 

[tooAlive]

I give Obama credit for extending the Bush Tax Cuts.

 

[Harry Dresden]

How's it feel to be a loser so obsessed by a man who was elected twice as President? I may have voted for Obama, but I don't dream about him.

Bush is who you dream about.....that's kinda obvious....

Its beyond ironic when that guys name is Dubya, a guy that was elected twice as well... And these people claim they are the smart ones.

this guy "Dubya" is pretty much a dipshit.....i was told by one poster who knows him from somewhere else that he kicks his own ass in the threads....so far what i have seen....he is right.....

 

[Dugdale_Jukes]

He killed bin Laden, a feat that filthy little cocksucker from Tejas couldn't manage.

Next.

NAVY SEALS did, cocksucker.
Next?

Wannabes like you are funny.
Not satisfied with being losers, you advertise it.
It doesn't really get any better than that in nutballville, does it?

and mudweenee theres even more

22. Created Conditions to Begin Closing Dirtiest Power Plants: New EPA restrictions on mercury and toxic pollution, issued in December 2011, likely to lead to the closing of between sixty-eight and 231 of the nation’s oldest and dirtiest coal-fired power plants. Estimated cost to utilities: at least $11 billion by 2016. Estimated health benefits: $59 billion to $140 billion. Will also significantly reduce carbon emissions and, with other regulations, comprises what’s been called Obama’s “stealth climate policy.”

23. Passed Credit Card Reforms: Signed the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act (2009), which prohibits credit card companies from raising rates without advance notification, mandates a grace period on interest rate increases, and strictly limits overdraft and other fees.

24. Eliminated Catch-22 in Pay Equality Laws: Signed Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009, giving women who are paid less than men for the same work the right to sue their employers after they find out about the discrimination, even if that discrimination happened years ago. Under previous law, as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., the statute of limitations on such suits ran out 180 days after the alleged discrimination occurred, even if the victims never knew about it.

25. Protected Two Liberal Seats on the U.S. Supreme Court: Nominated and obtained confirmation for Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic and third woman to serve, in 2009; and Elena Kagan, the fourth woman to serve, in 2010. They replaced David Souter and John Paul Stevens, respectively.

26. Improved Food Safety System: In 2011, signed FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, which boosts the Food and Drug Administration’s budget by $1.4 billion and expands its regulatory responsibilities to include increasing number of food inspections, issuing direct food recalls, and reviewing the current food safety practices of countries importing products into America.

27. Achieved New START Treaty: Signed with Russia (2010) and won ratification in Congress (2011) of treaty that limits each country to 1,550 strategic warheads (down from 2,200) and 700 launchers (down from more than 1,400), and reestablished and strengthened a monitoring and transparency program that had lapsed in 2009, through which each country can monitor the other.

28. Expanded National Service: Signed Serve America Act in 2009, which authorized a tripling of the size of AmeriCorps. Program grew 13 percent to 85,000 members across the country by 2012, when new House GOP majority refused to appropriate more funds for further expansion.

29. Expanded Wilderness and Watershed Protection: Signed Omnibus Public Lands Management Act (2009), which designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, created thousands of miles of recreational and historic trails, and protected more than 1,000 miles of rivers.

30. Gave the FDA Power to Regulate Tobacco: Signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (2009). Nine years in the making and long resisted by the tobacco industry, the law mandates that tobacco manufacturers disclose all ingredients, obtain FDA approval for new tobacco products, and expand the size and prominence of cigarette warning labels, and bans the sale of misleadingly labeled “light” cigarette brands and tobacco sponsorship of entertainment events.

31. Pushed Federal Agencies to Be Green Leaders: Issued executive order in 2009 requiring all federal agencies to make plans to soften their environmental impacts by 2020. Goals include 30 percent reduction in fleet gasoline use, 26 percent boost in water efficiency, and sustainability requirements for 95 percent of all federal contracts. Because federal government is the country’s single biggest purchaser of goods and services, likely to have ripple effects throughout the economy for years to come.

32. Passed Fair Sentencing Act: Signed 2010 legislation that reduces sentencing disparity between crack versus powder cocaine possessionfrom100 to1 to 18 to1.

33. Trimmed and Reoriented Missile Defense: Cut the Reagan-era “Star Wars” missile defense budget, saving $1.4 billion in 2010, and canceled plans to station antiballistic missile systems in Poland and the Czech Republic in favor of sea-based defense plan focused on Iran and North Korea.

34. Began Post-Post-9/11 Military Builddown: After winning agreement from congressional Republicans and Democrats in summer 2011 budget deal to reduce projected defense spending by $450 billion, proposed new DoD budget this year with cuts of that size and a new national defense strategy that would shrink ground forces from 570,000 to 490,000 over the next ten years while increasing programs in intelligence gathering and cyberwarfare.

35. Let Space Shuttle Die and Killed Planned Moon Mission: Allowed the expensive ($1 billion per launch), badly designed, dangerous shuttle program to make its final launch on July 8, 2011. Cut off funding for even more bloated and problem-plagued Bush-era Constellation program to build moon base in favor of support for private-sector low-earth orbit ventures, research on new rocket technologies for long-distance manned flight missions, and unmanned space exploration, including the largest interplanetary rover ever launched, which will investigate Mars’s potential to support life.

36. Invested Heavily in Renewable Technology: As part of the 2009 stimulus, invested $90 billion, more than any previous administration, in research on smart grids, energy efficiency, electric cars, renewable electricity generation, cleaner coal, and biofuels.

37. Crafting Next-Generation School Tests: Devoted $330 million in stimulus money to pay two consortia of states and universities to create competing versions of new K-12 student performance tests based on latest psychometric research. New tests could transform the learning environment in vast majority of public school classrooms beginning in 2014.

38. Cracked Down on Bad For-Profit Colleges: In effort to fight predatory practices of some for-profit colleges, Department of Education issued “gainful employment” regulations in 2011 cutting off commercially focused schools from federal student aid funding if more than 35 percent of former students aren’t paying off their loans and/or if the average former student spends more than 12 percent of his or her total earnings servicing student loans.

39. Improved School Nutrition: In coordination with Michelle Obama, signed Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act in 2010 mandating $4.5 billion spending boost and higher nutritional and health standards for school lunches. New rules based on the law, released in January, double the amount of fruits and vegetables and require only whole grains in food served to students.

40. Expanded Hate Crimes Protections: Signed Hate Crimes Prevention Act (2009), which expands existing hate crime protections to include crimes based on a victim’s sexual orientation, gender, or disability, in addition to race, color, religion, or national origin.

41. Avoided Scandal: As of November 2011, served longer than any president in decades without a scandal, as measured by the appearance of the word “scandal” (or lack thereof) on the front page of the Washington Post.

42. Brokered Agreement for Speedy Compensation to Victims of Gulf Oil Spill: Though lacking statutory power to compel British Petroleum to act, used moral authority of his office to convince oil company to agree in 2010 to a $20 billion fund to compensate victims of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; $6.5 billion already paid out without lawsuits. By comparison, it took nearly two decades for plaintiffs in the Exxon Valdez Alaska oil spill case to receive $1.3 billion.

Want me to go through these one by one, or can we just admit that the entire article is a puff piece designed to make Obama look better than he is?

sure ...why not ... you have been right on one yet ... so have at it ...

How was I wrong when I pointed out that Bush is the one that pushed for, and got, TARP? How was I wrong wehn I agreed with the points where Obama actually did something?

 

[GWV5903]

the stimulus package you moron ... you know, what you righties keep saying did nothing...

That money ran out years ago. It helped us get out of the recession but then again it didn't solve any of the causes of the recession. Matter of fact the stimulus created a whole new set of problems.

this is where your stupidity shows ... the stimulus as you said got us out of the recession .. along with the auto bail out ... the bank bail out... and the insure being bail out ... without these things happening Obama wouldn't have been able to turn the country around ... if these fuck up republican would pass revenues in the currant bill, that would totally cause the market to sky rocket ... the debt start getting paid down ... right now he has cut 800 billion dollars plus in spending as of last year ... that you don't recognise that either... your hate towards him cloud your thinking

The Carter / Clinton era has more to do with our current situation, all Oblamer has done is compound it, yet you and your open handed ilk cannot wipe your own asses...

The world would be a great place in that dream land you live in, but reality has a different effect, try earning it...

 

[Avorysuds]

I give Obama credit for extending the Bush Tax Cuts.

I give Obama credit for expanding the war on Terror, in costs and in length of time, 4 years longer now!

I give credit to Obama for expanding the Patriot Act by passing the NDAA and being the first President to openly killing a US citizen without trial.

I give credit to Obama for keeping Guantanamo Bay open.

I give credit to Obama for handing billions of dollars to the rich with his stimulus and allowing the FED's to pump 40 billion a month into the markets as a way to float the economy while adding to the deficit like never seen before.

I credit Obama with dividing the country to historical levels by taking advantage of every opportunity possible to create fear in both parties.

I credit Obama with record amounts of people on welfare.

Should I keep going with this list?

 

[P@triot]

not your response is funny !!!! you didn't get one thing right !!!!

This is how you know someone has been completely blasted out of the water with facts - when they make a general statement like "you didn't get one thing right" and avoid specifics...

Quote by Russia's State Duma's International Affairs Committee, Konstantin Kosachev (verifiable FACT)

Benghazi (verifiable FACT)

Fast & Furios (verifiable FACT)

Free checking gone and replaced by checking fees thanks to "finance reform" (verifiable FACT)

Failure of entire "green energy" platform (verifiable FACT)

Thanks for playing though - we have some very nice parting gifts for you...

 

[bucs90]

Well, lets see.

Bin Laden is dead.
We are out of Iraq.
We are about to be out of Afghanistan.
Housing is going up.
Unemployment is going down.
Arrests of illegal immigrants is at a high for recent memory
Wall Street hit an all-time high
Blacks feel more empowered, and maybe the poor communities will begin to get motivated
Gays are getting rights they didnt have before.
Women are getting opportunities they didnt have before

In fact, seemsmost of the people bitching are rich, white, right wing males. Obama has done some stupid shit. But he's done a lot of stuff that went well also. Only extreme partisans would disagree with that.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

you take solendra ... one company out of many that failed and you hold it up as if it was the end ... then you dance it around as if it was all planed to fail... that Obama personally knew it was going to fail ... that Obama personally himself said here's the money ... it wasn't ... each and everyone of your responses really doesn't need an answer because they aren't factual ... they are nothing more right wing talking points that has never been factual... so have at it... make a bigger fool of yourself ...

One company out of many that failed...

One company out of many that failed...

One company out of many that failed...

One company out of many that failed...

One company out of many that failed...

That just says so much it bears repeating again and again.

 

[Dugdale_Jukes]

I am pretty sure that, even with bin Laden dead, Al Qaeda is still blowing things up. In other words, he didn't solve a problem.

This is what I was going to say. Someone also said he ended the Iraq war when in fact Bush ended it with the Iraq government not letting Obama stay there like Obama tried and wanted to do.

Did Obama end/win the war on terror? No...

There's a reason why Obama has released only 17 of the documents found in OBL's compound.

Why not tell us what the reasons are? It is really, really tiresome reading horseshit with no support behind it.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Name one president ever that solved anything.

 

[P@triot]

you take solendra ... one company out of many that failed and you hold it up as if it was the end ... then you dance it around as if it was all planed to fail... that Obama personally knew it was going to fail ... that Obama personally himself said here's the money ... it wasn't ... each and everyone of your responses really doesn't need an answer because they aren't factual ... they are nothing more right wing talking points that has never been factual... so have at it... make a bigger fool of yourself ...

Hey stupid, they have the emails that prove Obama knew that Solyndra was going to fail even with the money, and still he funneled it to them as quickly as he could to make sure his "green energy" pals walked away bilionaires.

You clearly are completely uninformed on what is happening with the Obama Administration. Why don't you educate yourself before commenting? Why don't you get the facts before swallowing Obama's cock as fast as he can feed it to you? It's very dangerous to worship blindly you fool... it was people like you who created Adolf Hitler.

 

[Warrior102]

Name one president ever that solved anything.

Reagan - USSR

 

[RowdyRoddy]

50 examples provided and 50 deflections and excuses later. The op demands more. Does any think if they gave 100 more that they change their minds?

And the same thing would have happened had the same OP been made in 2005

Except I don't remember Bush-bots still blaming Clinton 5 years later

Your memory fails you on that one.

 

[RowdyRoddy]

Name one president ever that solved anything.

Reagan - USSR

Perestroika.

 

[Dugdale_Jukes]

bin Laden counts.

You don't get to decide what counts. Anywhere.

The only way he counts is if you actually show how it solved a problem.

It solved the problem of killing bin Laden.

 

[Avorysuds]

Well, lets see.

Bin Laden is dead. Yes, but the war on terror is expanded so what was solved?
We are out of Iraq. Bush did that, Obama wanted to stay, how many times do you have to be told this? What this means is you supported Bush's position and policy and in fact were anti Obama's policy of staying, so nothing solved.
We are about to be out of Afghanistan. But we're not, and in fact we will be there as long if not longer than we were under Bush, so again nothing solved.
Housing is going up. Not much at all, like seriously. Not solved either
Unemployment is going down. No it's not, we have the most fudged numbers in recorded history and UE still sucks. Also not solved by any means.
Arrests of illegal immigrants is at a high for recent memory And yet the issue of illegal immigration is still as big as ever, so not "solved."
Wall Street hit an all-time high With coming up on a half trillion in debt to fake things getting better. So not solved, it's like taking steroids or heroin, the damage will outweigh the benefits.
Blacks feel more empowered, and maybe the poor communities will begin to get motivated LOL, how the fuck did Obama do this? Was there something to even be solved?
Gays are getting rights they didnt have before. Right(s)? Or the ability to serve in the military? In all yes that's good but your stretching an accomplishment here and if I remember correctly it was not Obama that did this.
Women are getting opportunities they didnt have before WTF are you talking about? What did Obama do to solve something that didn't even need solving...?

In fact, seemsmost of the people bitching are rich, white, right wing males. Obama has done some stupid shit. But he's done a lot of stuff that went well also. Only extreme partisans would disagree with that.

And the truth comes outs at the end, you're a racist, ageist, sexist, success hating bigot.
