The Reprehensible Right: Huckabee calls for repeal of 17th Amendment

[Sun Devil 92]

Obama had 12 years of legislative experience by the time he came President... You are looking like a fool

Eight years of leading or doing nothing in the Illinois Senate. He ran for president after he said he did not have the qualifications. The president is an EXECUTIVE position. The only thing petulant former President Barack Hussein Obama ever led was an ACORN meeting.

You elected Bammy and he had ZERO experience.

Obama had 12 years of legislative experience by the time he came President... You are looking like a fool

So what explains his pathetic performance ?

We have gone through this with a few times... Obama has a very solid legacy...

You jokers wanking off to Alt Right Media sources don't know this...

Here are 28 of President Obama’s biggest accomplishments as President of the United States.

1 – Rescued the country from the Great Recession, cutting the unemployment rate from 10% to 4.7% over six years

2 – Signed the Affordable Care Act which provided health insurance to over 20 million uninsured Americans

3 – Ended the war in Iraq

4 – Ordered for the capture and killing of Osama Bin Laden

5 – Passed the $787 billion America Recovery and Reinvestment Act to spur economic growth during the Great Recession

6 – Supported the LGBT community’s fight for marriage equality

7 – Commuted the sentences of nearly 1200 drug offenders to reverse “unjust and outdated prison sentences”

8 – Saved the U.S. auto industry

9 – Helped put the U.S. ontrack for energy independence by 2020

10 – Began the drawdown of troops in Afghanistan

11 – Signed the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals allowing as many as 5 million people living in the U.S. illegally to avoid deportation and receive work permits

12 –Signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to re-regulate the financial sector

13 – Dropped the veteran homeless rate by 50 percent

14 – Reversed Bush-era torture policies

15 – Began the process of normalizing relations with Cuba

16 – Increased Department of Veteran Affairs funding

17 – Signed the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act

18 – Boosted fuel efficiency standards for cars

19 – Improved school nutrition with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act

20 – Repealed the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy

21 – Signed the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, making it a federal crime to assault anyone based on sexual or gender identification

22 – Helped negotiate the landmark Iran Nuclear Deal

23 – He signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to combat pay discrimination against women

24 – Nominated Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, making her the first Hispanic ever to serve as a justice

25 – Supported veterans through a $78 billion tuition assistance GI bill

26 – Won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”

27 – Launched My Brother’s Keeper, a White House initiative designed to help young minorities achieve their full potential

28 – Expanded embryonic stem cell research leading to groundbreaking work in areas including spinal injury treatment and cancer

I don't have the time right now to disprove every one of those, and don't think I couldn't.

But I will say this: A Clinton Presidency would have been a continuation of Obama's foreign and domestic policies. If he was so successful, why did Hillary lose, and why did the Republicans end up owning both the House and the Senate?

George W pushed the economy over the cliff and started two wars...

Trump is a walking disaster.. His poll numbers are in the toliet

No answers...just talking points.

His poll numbers were in the toilet before the election.

And you still lost.

Suck on it.

But this is about the repeal of the 17th amendment.

Huckabee has a right to call for whatever he'd like.

That the OP calls the action reprehensible only shows what a hack he is.

The Huckster isn't the first to call for this and he won't be the last.

That the left does not see how this would benefit them is laughable.

“Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) on Friday called for the repeal of the 17th Amendment and the return to senators selected by state legislatures after the Senate GOP's effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare died in a late-night vote.”

Huckabee calls for repeal of 17th Amendment after healthcare failure

Such advocacy of ‘repeal’ is made in bad faith, of course – motivated by rightist partisanism given the majority of the states are controlled by Republicans.

Needless to say, if a majority of the states were controlled by Democrats, we wouldn’t hear anything from the reprehensible right about ‘repealing’ the 17th Amendment.

Fck that. It's the 14th we need to kill. No more anchor babies. (-:
