Americans see the 2010 Affordable Care Act as President Barack Obama's greatest achievement to date as well as his biggest failure, underscoring the controversial nature of the law that is likely to define his legacy. On balance, more Americans name the healthcare law as his biggest failure (36%) than as his greatest achievement (22%).
History's verdict on Obama's presidency will not be rendered for years or decades, if even then, given the continuing revision of a president's legacy that inevitably takes place after his term ends. But after he has spent almost five years in office, Americans are certainly in a position to think about Obama's greatest achievements and biggest failures so far, and that is what Gallup asked them to do as part of its Dec. 5-8 survey.

Actually, None/Nothing was the most popular choice for the Royal Dope's greatest achievement ... which is not fair considering his ability to wreck the economy ... screw up foreign policy ... appoint imbeciles to government positions ... and waste money!
Greatest achievement - none - 22 percent
Greatest failure - none/nothing - 8 percent
Why didn’t gallup point that out?
Exactly! None nothing beat healthcare as an achievement! And looking at the failure, only 8 percent said he hasn’t failed! Wow. Why doesn’t Gallup point this out?

And the big O wishes this would stay like it is. 2014 will not be kind to him.
Gallup polls on “not getting assassinated”? Seriously??
Obama has had no achievements, none, zada, zip period. He is nothing.
If Obama wasn’t such an ego maniac, racist, and cultural snob, he might have done something special as President. He has oratory gifts, but that is unfortunately where it ends. As for healthcare reform, I do like the pre-existing condition clause and I like the idea of insurance being purchased instead of being a work-place benefit. However, Obama’s desire to socialize medicine is a major downfall and his ideology and arrogance just won’t let him adjust to this reality.
He, like most liberals, is also a cultural snob who looks down on most regular folks. Basing his entire Presidency on the needs of the lower 20 percent may be good touchy freely politics, but it’s a crap way to run a country. The top earners will always exist and the bottom feeders can’t be saved from themselves. No government plan, hope, or mission statement will change this fact......although Obama and the liberals will drive us into bankruptcy trying.
It is both because his greatest failure is the greatest thing of which he is capable.
His greatest achievement was likely gradeating high school.

So during the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks.
We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.
It’s worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the entire Obama administration couldn’t build a functioning web site.

Thank you for that.
One question, did you intentionally use the word “fag” in your Tagline? I assumed you meant “flag” since it was a quote from the Queen of Mean. No, I am not part of the Grammar Police. LOL
Good Grief !

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!!! THE OBAMA’S CAUGHT AGAIN WITH THEIR HAND IN THE CASH DRAWER. PLEASE SHARE THIS SO AT LEAST SOME OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WILL KNOW.
...Daughters are paid staff !!!! Now isn’t that just special?
THIS IS TRUE: CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF (SEE LINKS AT BOTTOM)
UNBELIEVABLE THIEVERY !
Obama Daughters are Michelle’s ‘Senior Staffers’!!!
Michelle was caught cheating on her expense report What a show of arrogance !
This information was obtained by Judicial Watch March, 2012. The administration had to be sued to get this through the FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.
Michelle Obama listed daughters as ‘Senior Staffers’ to justify her expensive African vacation and safari.
October 5, 2011, Judicial Watch said the U.S. Air Force provided a C-32 ( a Boeing 757 ), modified by the military for the purpose of flying bigwigs around the world, to fly the First Lady and her entourage to and from Africa, at a cost of $424,142. Another $928.44 was listed as ‘bulk food’ costs per meal for the 192 on board. Lobster isn’t cheap when you fly it around the world.
The Obama daughters were listed on the manifest as senior staff. ‘This trip was as much an opportunity for the Obama family to go on a safari as it was a trip to conduct government business,’ said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. ‘This junket wasted tax dollars and the resources of our over-extended military.. No wonder we had to sue to pry loose this information. ‘The nation is suffering with the economy sputtering, the national debt soaring and Obama’s economic rescue policies not only failing, but actively making things worse.
Meanwhile, the First Lady justifies an expensive trip to Africa to take a vacation and safari with her daughters by saying it’s ‘official business’ and even going so far as to list her children as staffers.The level of arrogance and dishonesty on display here is nothing short of shocking.’
It’s a true story. Check out these links and read it for yourself:
