o blah ma...Lol. HOW MANY PROMISES HAS OBAMA KEPT?

[rightwinger]

No President can make "Promises"

They have to rely on Congress to pass needed legislation. What the can do is propose an agenda

Obama has delivered on most of his

Bullshit.

Far from it

Obamacare
Stopped a depression
Saved the auto companies
ith 9lRepealed Bush tax cuts on the wealthy
w a fail..Obama care Pulled combat troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan
Cut the deficit in half

Mission accomplished

More bullshit..over 90% of the insurance carriers bailing out, costing millions of hard working citizens many thousands of dollars more per year

We are still in a depression, the mulatto hasn't had 3% growth since he fucked the country....The only reason the stock market is up is the Fed has 0% interest rates.

Saved auto companies, Ford did well without it, and Chrysler isn't owned by American's because of his stupidity.

Bush tax cuts were for everyone.. because your a fucking lying socialist all you can talk about is the rich, and ignore everyone else for your agenda

The Manchurian muslim just sent a few thousands boots back to Iraq....dumbass!

What a fucking failure he is!
..Just like you!

13 million more Americans insured, healthcare costs down

Vastly superior to any national healthcare reform proposed by Republicans

 

[Vigilante]

Lies as 20 million are now without Healthcare, and how can costs come down when over 90% of the insures are leaving the system

The old Ryan's plan was better and actually worksble...you scumbags just want to see the government controlling more people's lives...Fascist pig!!!!

U.President Barack Obama announces plans to slow the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, while delivering a statement in the Roosevelt Room at the White House in Washington.JONATHAN ERNST/REUTERS
U.S.PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMAAFGHANISTAN


Like all politicians, Barack Obama made promises that varied from specific actions (like closing Guantánamo Bay) to vague asks (like pushing Congress to pass climate-change legislation) that fell short of a commitment. In the fourth quarter of his presidency, many of these benchmarks remain elusive, some because of an recalcitrant Congress and others because he reversed himself. There’s nothing wrong with flip-flopping, per se. Franklin Roosevelt was called a chameleon in plaid. But with Obama announcing a delay on troop withdrawal in Afghanistan, it’s worth looking back at what he wanted and what he got.



Newsweek compiled a list of issues that will likely remain unresolved once Obama leaves office in 2017. Some are flat-out promises, while others are of the we’ll-try-to-go-to-the-fair variety that a parent might offer.



Guantánamo Bay

“I have said repeatedly that I intend to close Guantánamo, and I will follow through on that.”

This was probably his most firm promise. During his first week in office, Obama signed an executive order calling for the closing of Gitmo by the end of the year. It still hasn’t happened. Congress has mostly blocked efforts to transport Gitmo detainees to other countries for fear they’ll get loose, and few members of Congress wanted to have them moved to their home state. The Senate passed the National Defense Authorization act at the end of 2014, making it easier for the Pentagon to move prisoners, and recently Democrats like Nancy Pelosi have increased calls to shut down the controversial prison.

But Democrats don’t have the voting numbers or political capital to push legislation closing Gitmo through Congress amid budget fights, and they can’t increase their numbers until the 2016 elections.

Afghanistan

This promise was more complicated. Initially Obama promised to increase U.S. involvement in Afghanistan while ending the war in Iraq, but in his 2008 New Hampshire primary speech he went a step further:

“We will end this war in Iraq. We will bring our troops home. We will finish the job—we will finish the job against Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.”

As of Thursday morning the job is not finished. Although Obama has formally ended American troops’ combat mission, he announced that troop withdrawals will be delayed beyond the end of 2016. American forces will stay on in an advisory and counterterrorism role, which means the fight against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban has yet to be be won.


“I suspect that we will continue to evaluate this going forward, as will the next president,” Obama announced from the White House. “And as conditions improve, we’ll be in a position to make further adjustments.”

Obama once said that like all wars, the war on terror must end, but whether or not this is a deliverable promise, the fact remains that there is little end in sight. Our ground troops are out of Iraq, but bombs are being dropped on ISIS.

Energy Independence

“I will set a clear goal as president: In 10 years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East."

Most energy analysts don’t think the U.S. will get there by 2018, 10 years after Obama made that promise. According to the Energy Department, it would only be likely to happen by 2019 if a massive hike in oil prices raised demand for domestic oil. We can’t call this promise “broken” for a few more years, but thanks to the explosion in fracking and other new technologies, American oil production has boomed. It’s not independence, but it’s a lot closer than people thought. With prices so low, the growth in green energy isn’t what it would be if prices were higher.

Climate Change Legislation

"A small portion of the receipts generated by auctioning allowances will be used to support the development of clean energy, invest in energy efficiency improvements, and help develop the next generation of biofuels and clean energy vehicles."

In 2008 Obama promised to sign cap and trade legislation that would use revenue from emissions taxes to reinvest in clean energy. Climate change legislation of this kind has died in Congress multiple times since he came into office, including when Democrats controlled both houses. To act on climate change, Obama has instead had to go through the executive branch and the EPA, where he’s taken action on carbon dioxide emissions.

By most estimates, current climate efforts won’t prevent a major sea level rise. Climate change is one area where neither the President’s environmentalist supporters nor his critics think favorably of his performance, but there’s no argument that he’s failed to take action.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform

“I can guarantee that we will have, in the first year, an immigration bill that I strongly support.”

Comprehensive immigration reform hasn’t happened despite Obama’s willingness to take out his pen and sign a bipartisan bill. When Obama blamed Congress for stonewalling him on immigration in 2012 he wasn’t off base.

Still, Latino groups were irked that during Obama’s first term, as he and a Democratic Congress passed health care reform, a huge stimulus and other items, immigration was pushed to the side. They’ve been assuaged a bit by executive action to defer deportations.

Gun Control Consensus

“I think we can provide common-sense approaches to the issue of illegal guns that are ending up on the streets. We can make sure that criminals don’t have guns in their hands. We can make certain that those who are mentally deranged are not getting a hold of handguns. We can trace guns that have been used in crimes to unscrupulous gun dealers that may be selling to straw purchasers and dumping them on the streets.”

Obviously, none of that has happened, although technically it was less of a promise than a vision. When Obama advocated a “common-sense” approach in the 2008 Philadelphia primary debate, he wasn’t anticipating the politically divisive string of mass shootings that occurred during his presidency. The administration’s strongest gun control legislation push after the Sandy Hook massacre didn’t go anywhere.


In a recent speech following the Umpqua Community College Massacre, Obama called on voters and citizens to do more to advocate for gun control provisions like background checks. His promises on the campaign trail were not specific, and his strategy as president has mostly been to use the bully pulpit.

Sick Days and Family Leave

“Now is the time to help families with paid sick days and better family leave, because nobody in America should have to choose between keeping their job and caring for a sick child or an ailing parent.”

He had the same message in his 2015 State of the Union address. On the presidential campaign trail, high-profile Republicans like Carly Fiorina continue to be opposed to calls from Democrats for family leave legislation. In the first Democratic debate, family leave was a theme trumpeted by Bernie Sanders, and increasing paid leave time is generally opposed by Republicans.

As Jeb Bush puts it, the GOP wants the government to think of people as “assets, not liabilities.” If you think Republicans are going to help Obama pass legislation on family leave as they await the outcome of the election, think again.

Cracking Down on CEO Bonuses

“Now is the time to change our bankruptcy laws, so that your pensions are protected ahead of CEO bonuses.”

Dodd-Frank contained measures requiring disclosure of executive salaries, but there hasn’t been legislation strong enough to prevent CEOs from cashing out like they did after the Great Recession. Given that this issue is still being brought up by Bernie Sanders and congressional Democrats (members of the house cited Republicans’ disinterest in seriously addressing CEO bonuses as a defense against criticism of Planned Parenthood executive salaries), it’s safe to say that Main Street's retribution is far from happening.

Affordable Health Care With Universal Coverage

Obama promised both with varying degrees of specificity while campaigning for president. He delivered the Affordable Care Act which, along with the financial bailout, effectively spurred the rise of the Tea Party. Obama expended a massive amount of political capital on health care, but premiums for many of those who have the same coverage as they did in 2008 have gone up. He promised that “if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.” But since many insurance plans weren’t up to snuff by the standards of the ACA, some people did lose their doctors.

The bottom line is that by some estimates, 90 percent of Americans now have health coverage. Overall, the rate of growth of health care costs has slowed dramatically. Making quality health care universal is an even larger battle than passing Obamacare.

Changing the Culture of Washington

In some ways this is the only one that matters. In his book The Audacity of Hope, Obama wrote about a Washington culture that was hurting the political process, not so much because of the gulf between the nation’s two ideologies but because of the vitriol of public debate and the influence of special interests. He chided Hillary Clinton for being part of Washington’s old-school partisanship and repeatedly pointed to initiatives he led in the Illinois Senate (filming police interrogations among them) and the U.S. Senate (arms control) that garnered bipartisan support.



Obama has learned the hard way that compromise is harder than ever right now. Funding from interest groups has risen, party control has been diminished, and gerrymandering is now so precise that few members of Congress have incentive to cut deals.


Jeb Bush has said that prior Republican presidents like Reagan and Bush 41 could not get elected by the modern GOP. If you think the country is more unified than it was in 2008, watch the next Republican primary debate.

Meanwhile, Obama and his administration continue to define themselves through comparisons to the previous president: citation of the Bush administration and the state of affairs when Obama took office are still the norm in press conferences.

His actual performance—taking out “what could have been”—is a combination of broken promises and fulfilled ones, often crashing on the shoals a recalcitrant GOP and Obama’s own oversell as a transformational president. Some of his most noteworthy foreign policy accomplishments—the Iran nuclear deal and the Trans-Pacific Partnership among them—have yet to bear fruit and can’t be judged a success or failure until he leaves office.

One promise worth remembering: In 2008 Obama vowed to use actionable intelligence to take out Al-Qaeda targets in Pakistan, even without the permission of the host country. Hillary Clinton called that reckless, but she was sitting beside the president the night he ordered the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. It’s a reminder that when presidents can act alone, they get what they want. When they have to deal and parley, not so much.

Sounds like a pretty good record for a president who didn't have a Congress of his party for 3/4's of his presidency.

IRS Targets 20 Million Americans who didn't buy OBOZOCARE!!!!

Are you one of 20 million uninsured Americans who hasn’t signed up for Obamacare?

Then you might be getting a note from the IRS this year “suggesting” you enroll.

“Getting a letter from the IRS can be a threatening and nerve-racking experience; it seldom is seen as a suggestion and more of a threat,” Galen Institute President Grace-Marie Turner wrote in a Forbes column Wednesday.

The IRS is reportedly “reaching out” to Americans who claimed an exemption or chose to pay the tax penalty for not purchasing mandatory health insurance. The ploy is intended to “attract” Obamacare enrollees.

“The government is particularly interested in compliance from healthy young people,” Turner wrote.

Let's remember Obama did not claim he would engage in nation building and engage in a war of choice which cost over 4,500 American service personnel and tens or hundreds of thousands of civilians their lives; and leave countless others maimed for life while spending billions of dollars for nothing.

Anyone who blames Obama for the current state of world affairs is a fool and a liar. Of course many of them they also support Donald Trump, a man psychologically unfit to be POTUS.

Yrs he did and it built our country. Lmfao. You hate that huh? Socialist programs built the number one world poower. He he. You just hate that...

Socialism never built anything. You're completely delusional. He destroyed our economy, and it struggled for nearly the entirety of his dynasty.

Fringer speak, the planet knows better.

More like you've been indoctrinated into Lefttard land.

Odd, I hear you're a socialist.

 

[Pumpkin Row]

It can and has functioned without all of those. Your ignorance of history is astounding.

Example por favor

Read the thread, I already replied to that quote.

Example por favor

I say you are full of shit. Provide an example of Capitalism functioning withou government

During Medieval times, and before them. Merchants traded for goods, and traveled with their own mercenaries or armed servants, protected themselves, and operated under no legal system. Contrary to what seems to be Lefttard gospel, governments haven't always existed.

I've now answered this question twice.

So you are basing our economy on Medieval times?

You do realize why they call those the Dark Ages? What happened during Medeival times without government

Black Plague due to a lack of government regulation, endless wars, extreme poverty, rampant inflation

First, I said literally nothing about basing our economy on Medieval times, you just don't know how to read because our government never taught you properly. What I said was that it's possible and has happened before, and I'm right. Secondly, the Black Plague didn't occur because of lack of government regulation, it happened due to poor hygiene and lack of knowledge on the cause.

Third, what do we have WITH government regulation? Endless wars, poverty, and inflation. Cool. Of course, without Socialism, the government is doing it intentionally for government dependency so they have more Democrat voters. WITH Socialism, they're doing it by accident because they don't know any better. Either way, we have a greedy or stupid government that can't be trusted. You know what, though? Even if we could trust the administration we expanded the government infinitely under due to Liberal stupidity, there's no guarantee we could trust the next. Not that we can ever trust the government, the current administration being a perfect example, a good piece of evidence being how he is supporting our enemies by funding, arming, and training them. I don't trust the government to regulate anything, they don't even enforce the regulations on themselves.

TL;DR: Get your head out of your rectum.
