During an interview with CBS's Charlie Rose that aired on Monday morning, President Obama said his proudest achievement over the past three and a half years is stabilizing the economy, not his signature health care reform law.

“My proudest achievement is actually stabilizing the economy to avert a great depression, because if I don’t do that nothing else matters,” Obama said. “And the central question becomes building on what we've done. Where do we go from here?”

Obama is being too humble, he averted WWIII by heading off a worldwide depression , with would have resulted in the extinction of the human race.

In a very real way, he is a modern day messiah...

His top achievement was stabilizing the economy? If stabilizing the economy means that the unemployment rate increased rather than decreased; if the housing market has been in a rebound; if the number of people on food stamps decreased a meaningful amount, maybe he did stabilize the economy. But wait; none of that happened did it?

I said it after his first month or so in office: he has no understanding whatsoever about economics, no matter how you slice it.

His achievement: Destroying the economy and benefiting politically from it with the blame game and the class warfare game.

Grounding a ship on shallow rocky reefs also “stabilizes” the ship. Sure keeps it from going anywhere.

Stabilized isn't always a good thing.

All those ups and downs over the years grew tiresome.

I’m glad that things have “stabilized” in a consistent downward trajectory.

My school and core beliefs is that the economy will do just fine, and straighten out itself, IF and WHEN the U.S. Congress, Senate and President STOP tipping the scales, and tweaking trying to make it recover......

The economy isn’t stabilized, it’s stuck.

Carter : malaise : : Obama : stabilized

$5 Trillion in new debt is evidence of economic “stability”? What do you suppose fiscal irresponsibility would look like?

Too bad for the USA it is China's economy that he stabilized.

This Marxist m’fer is truly delusional. I mean it, this guy has gone around the f’ing bend. He should be removed on the basis that he is certifiably insane and as such cannot hold office.

If that’s his top achievement we ought to be able to run a dull butter knife and win in a landslide.

I am reading great quotes from the comment section, with a grim faced dry laugh.

My favorite so far:
‘people in a coma could be said to be “stable” - you know, like Joe Biden’ by Gimlet Eye
