Default Is Obama keeping his promises ?

Actually looks pretty good considering he is only 9 months into his 1st year......

To be honest, based upon a lot of posts here calling him a liar and every other name in the book, I thought his track record would have been horrible, but it in reality, as according to Newsweek, its pretty good, especially when graded against some former administrations.

I am wondering if the right actually "truly" has anything to whine about afterall...... as according to a lot of posts here, this is about the point in time we as a country self-implode. But, just the opposite is happening...... The economy is recovering thanks in large part due to not just our stimulus package, but a worldwide stimulus package by all industrialized countries....... Manufacturing is also up in the country.

He hasn't raised taxes to anybody..... yet, everybody here whines about tax increase, but not only has there not been any tax increase, there is none planned for the middle class either.

So...... what exactly are all you Righties upset about ?

I guess all his lies are nothing, his RUINING our economy when all prominent economists say he's doing it wrong, his failure to make up a policy on Afghanistan, his lack of backing the Iranian students when they rioted for democracy, his failure to confront N.Korea on nukes, is failure to control the dollars fall, and te increasing price on oil. His CZARS that have had no vetting! etc., etc.

Ruining the Economy ? Thought we all agreed, the previous administration was in the drivers seat when this all occured, albeit they had no clue what was happening. But, the economy is recovering..... clear as day, in fact, every industrilized country created a stimulus plan for this recession..... but their all wrong because you find an economist that says different ? LOL...... thats funny stuff.

But, let me tell you what I hang my hat on..... "actual results"...everything you predict is dead wrong.... we're supposed to be on the brink of descruction right now due to Obama..... but here we are, recovering.

btw, didn't North Korea go Nuclear on the Previous administrations watch ? Obama inherits the situation when its already nuclear.... and you wanna blame him....LOL..... funniest stuff on the internet is right here in this section, it really is.

btw, are you in favor of the draft ? Because Bush invaded the wrong country, we don't have the manpower to take on Iran, and they know it...... this is why they are particuarily mouthy with us right now..... the rest of the world understands this quite well.....

But in all seriousness.... when some of the gloom n doom predictions some of you predict actually happen, I'm going with the actual results.... which so far, are not going to make a few of real happy that are hoping for Obama failure.

Obama is actually making good on a lot of the promises he made.

(1) Social medicine - working on it

(2) Cap and trade - working on it

(3) Giving the unions more power - working on it

(4) Redistribution of wealth - working on it

So letting the tax cuts expire for 2010 doesn't count, right?
Bringing back the Estate Tax doesn't count, right?

Try spending some time in the real world.

How about devaluing the Dollar with out of control printing of currency?

Who does that cost? I would like your answer to that simple question.

They haven't spent the stimulus money yet, it is having no effect. Here's "pretty good" for you 3.5 million people have lost their jobs since the day he took office. Not counting pay cuts, furloughs, and shorter hours.

It cost the taxpayers 29,000.00 for every 4,500 cash for clunkers deal....I have no clue what the 8,000.00 home buyers credit costs us. The government controls the mortgage industry, and is part owner in over 600 banks....not to mention two auto manufacturers.

Yeah.....it's all good.

No....by killing the dollar...exports are great.....and companies over sold inventory.

He hasn't raise INCOME TAXES.....although allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire will raise taxes......on the middle class.

Mark,

This is just more absolutely amazing rhetoric...... I just cannot believe my ears when I hear this type of absolute silly stuff......

btw, if you believe that cash for clunkers cost us $ 29,000 for every clunker deal, I've got some land for sale you just might be interested in......Now I know, you'll have a link from Fox or wherever that states this....... but its just freakn silly talk !! If you had any logic at all on these things, you would understand that.

On the dollar, its been weak !!! Where were you for the last 6 years of Bush's administration complaining about it ??? Did all of the sudden you just notice that the Euro was kicking the dollars butt ????

You guys whine about a tax cut created years ago primarily benefiting the rich.....LOL..... this is nothing and I mean nothing !!!! It means zilch....... Here is some things that you might have noticed over the last 8 years that occured that are "real" and effect lives.....

- Invading the wrong damn country !!!!!!!!!! How phuckin crazy is that ??? Think about it, the last administration based upon questionable information and questionable methods of feeding the public information invaded a freakn country....... and then they had no clue what they were going to do when they got in their !!!! None..... zero...... zilch....... nadda...... they were completely and totally clueless....... THAT IS A PHUCKUP on epic proportions....... and you guys are whining about a freakn tax cut that expires as it was supposed too ??????? Simply Amazing !!!!!!!!!

- A melting economy and yet the President comes on television early last year and tells us, I don't think anything is wrong with it....looks good to me, whadda u want me to do !!!! THAT IS A PHUCKUP on epic proportions !!!!!!

You guys whine about simple things like an expiring tax cut as it was originally signed into congress by both parties...... as it if phuckn matters.......

This is the problem with many of you, you have no understanding of the world..... you think about an expiring tax cut or a President that "simply" wants to improve the healthcare quality for us and all citizens....... and hate him for it..... but why ???? Rather right or wrong, its "nothing" compared to what happend in the last administration...... but where were you when Bush was driving up the deficit ? Pull the post and show me where you whined about Bush doing this..... I'd love to see it.

I don't have a link to Fox, I don't watch, or read, Fox. I got it off MSNBC....not exactly the paragon of conservationism.

And what has happened to it this year? While we're here, have you ever read any of the myriad of posts I've made about the destruction of the dollar that has been our policy since 1992?

Of course not, you're into Newsweek jingoism.......

Have you ever heard of the "Alternative Minimum Tax"...probably not...it's coming to a tax return under your pen.

How did you get there from here. Are we rehashing the Bush administration or are we speaking of current events.

Goat?....You're right he's already TRIPLED Bush's deficit in one year. Obama spent more in one year than Bush did in eight.

Other than that...you're close.

Quote:

First..I don't whine. There are no posts where I can show you that. There are plenty where I pointed out Bush's violations of the Constitution, his lying, and his spending. Do a search.


You are clueless.
