“When Obama took office, the Dow was 6,626. Now it is 19,875.”

When Obama WAS ELECTED the DOW was at 8,900ish - it dropped 2,000 points prior to his inauguration!

Take that!

Obama accomplished many things, unfortunately they all hurt America, which was their intent.

Gays and Lesbians can now marry and enjoy the benefits they had been deprived of.
(Just because liberals and homosexuals think it is good, doesn’t make it so.)

When Obama took office, the Dow was 6,626. Now it is 19,875.
(Does anyone see a correlation with any kind of reality there?)

We had 82 straight months of private sector job growth – the longest streak in the history of the United States.
(Define “private sector job growth”. Do low paying, part time jobs count?)

Especially considering where he the economy was when he took over, an amazing 11.3 million new jobs were created under President Obama (far more than President Bush).
(See above. And how many of the are public sector?)

Obama has taken Unemployment from 10% down to 4.7%.
(Stupid liberals love this one. How many Americans are eligible to work, but have simply given up?)

Homelessness among US Veterans has dropped by half.
(That is because they are all dying due to the butchery of the VA system)

Obama shut down the US secret overseas prisons.
(They say this as if it were a good thing)

President Obama has created a policy for the families of fallen soldiers to have their travel paid for to be there when remains are flown home.
(I think this is fine, and the fiscal impact is low. What did our soldier’s families do in prior wars? Why is this a necessity?)

We landed a rover on Mars.
(Yeah. In between Muslim advocacy at NASA. And Obastard had a lot to do with this anyway, right?)

He passed the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
(Hate crimes are a liberal construct that has to determine the mindset of an individual. If someone commits a murder or assault, why is “Hate Crime” legislation important? There are laws or no laws.

Uninsured adults has decreased to below 10%: 90% of adults are insured – an increase of 20 Million Adults.
(This may indeed be true for all I know. Raise your hand if your health care costs have increased dramatically to pay for people who don’t deserve healthcare or refuse to pay for it, or if the quality of your healthcare has gone down...)

Ah, Hell. I give up. Trying to refuteliberals is a stupid premise to begin with, because they won’t say anything that refutes them is valid.

And least important of all (evidently), he increased our national debt by $10 trillion, doubling the deficit spending of any president in U.S. history.

So large was his deficit spending, that it equaled 50% of the deficit spending accrual in our nation’s history, the 232 years prior to his election. So 8 years vs 232 years.

He was the first president to lose an ambassador and his staff in a terrorist attack, then willfully lie about it to everyone.

He was the first president to refuse to send help in a timely manner when his ambassador’s and the ambassador staff’s life on the line, resulting in their deaths.

We could go on for a few days. His sycophants wouldn’t be able to grasp it.

Well, let's start here:



- Especially considering where the economy was when he took over, an amazing 11.3 million new jobs were created under President Obama (far more than President Bush).
Obama uses June of 2010 as his starting point not January 2009- where 5+ million jobs were lost in that period.

- Obama has taken Unemployment from 10% down to 4.7%.
decrease was gotten at the expense of workers leaving the work force and part time workers include as being FT employed.

- He passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was not about fair pay. It was about expanding the statutes of limitations for filing a lawsuit for unfair pay practices.
It is also the first bill he signed and it's the first bill that violated his "When there’s a bill that ends up on my desk as president, you the public will have five days to look online and find out what’s in it before I sign it, so that you know what your government’s doing,” campaign pledge.


here's a few.....I could be here all night

First President since Herbert Hoover to fail to have a single year of 3% GDP growth. Even Jimmy Carter had one productive year.

We landed a rover on Mars.

OK Curiosity landed in 2011, but during the Bush years we landed two (Spirit and Opportunity). So that's 2-1, we win!!!

I would speculate that an “accomplishment” conveniently omitted is most LEOs murdered in the line of duty for a two term president. Didn’t read it all, so If I’m wrong or proven incorrect I will apologize.

He might have had a few accomplishments, but they don’t seem very substantive. Some, like the gay marriage thing, have been destructive.

They ignore Obama’s BIGGEST “accomplishment” - a near doubling of the federal government’s debt into a historic stratospheric level; from $10+ trillion to $19+ trillion.
