1. LOL stopped reading when I read his #1 accomplishment.
2. Yes and in reading it it still looks like a whole lot of nothing useful. Seems he didn't have as much of a laser focus on the economy as he had led us to believe he would.
3. Not one of those things does a damn thing for the average American. Thanks for pointing that out. And I'd like to see proof on that added more jobs in 2010 BS. "20.CBO found 3.7 Million jobs created by stimulus (May 2010). ref" is completely misleading.
4. He has done things that are good as you mentioned. But, alas he is indeed over his head.
5. Here's a link to support your question http://obamaachievements.org/list I'm sure there will be plenty of Obama hatred around this question which is unfortunate.
6. More than half of those are nothing to be proud of.
7. Part of their objection is race-based, and part is because they don't want equal rights for gays. Another reason is that most Repubs don't want the economy to improve for the majority--their only interest is the 1%. There's also ignorance. There are any number of reasons why conservatives don't like Obama. Mostly because he isn't a conservative.
8. 22) increase the deficit by trillions of dollars 23) remove Americas AAA status
9. All of those things are great, but please point out these five things every chance you get... 1- Averted the Second Great Depression started by the Bush Administration. 2- Saved the US Auto industry with a bailout that has been completely paid back. 3- Eliminated the US #1 most wanted man in the world. 4- Initiated and supported the greatest democratic uprisings in the Middle East ever, including the removal of at least three brutal dictators. And most importantly--- 5- The GOP is so afraid of his successes that they are intentionally working to destabilize the US Economy just so they can win an election. OBAMA 2012!! ...
10. THIS is what he has accomplished http://news.yahoo.com/census-shows-1-2-people-poor-low-income-054325860.html Census shows 1 in 2 people are poor or low-income "Squeezed by rising living costs, a record number of Americans — nearly 1 in 2 — have fallen into poverty or are scraping by on earnings that classify them as low income. "The latest census data depict a middle class that's shrinking as unemployment stays high and the government's safety net frays. The new numbers follow years of stagnating wages for the middle class that have hurt millions of workers and families."
11. The only reason he appointed the first latina is because the Democrat congress filibustered Bush's appointment of one. Spent more money than all of his predisessors combined. Sold guns to Mexican drug cartels. Gotten us into two more wars with out Congressional approval (or U.S. interest). Given the military the ability to detain American citizens on American soil indefinitely and with out a trial. Ordered the assassination of an American citizen with out a trial. Neutered our energy supply. Stomped on the Constitution at every turn. Nationalized the student loan system. Nationalized our health insurance program which has driven up insurance costs and already put multiple insurance companies out of business. Wasted half a billion dollars on Solindra. Filled his cabinet with the most openly Marxist members in history. Spent the most amount of money in history with absolutely nothing to show for it (stimulus). Allowed Mexican drug cartels to evict Americans from our national forests.
