Jeez, where have you been?
He changed policy and we are not fighting an endless, useless war in Iraq. You mean he followed Bush's already set withdrawal schedule. That's not leadership to take credit where none os due.
He redirected the effort against Al Qaeda to their hideouts in Pakistan where he has stepped up very effective missile strikes. Again following Bush's already developed policy. Yes he did expand it but not much of a risk.
We are drawing down the useless war against the local Taliban in Afghanistan. If he was a leader he would have gotten out 3 years ago. Bush should have left as soon as he kicked the Taliban & AQ ass. His campaigning from the time he was elected to the senate caught him in a vise advocating a bad policy.
He enacted stimulus measures so that the Bush recession was ended in 6 months and did not turn into a depression. Dissagree the stimulus was too small and he didn't have the nuts to fight for what he believed.TARP a Bush effort did the most and his bailout of GM & selling off Chrysler to Fiat feathered the bed of the UAW. More importantly the regulation and over regulation of business extended and extends the effects of the recession. Again this according to people like Steve Jobs who was no republican shill.
All economic markers have steadily improved since the Bush recession. As noted before the policies that lead to the recovery were in place by the time he entered office. Most of the credit goes to the FED and Bernake
All Americans will soon be insurable and have private health insurance. The socialist medicine of the Charity Hospitals can be done away with. That is Pelosi's product..he avoided everything but making a deal with Big Pharma, Big Hospitals and Insurance that protected them while leaving us out to hang. Also he did nothing to reduce the cost of medical treatment.
He ordered the risky and daring raid that killed Osama bin Ladin.One place he put his balls on the line. BTW it was the process Bush put in place that did the work
He defeated the Republicans agenda in winning a second term and in restoring the old tax rate to the rich, supported overwhemingly by the public.That sort of confirms what I said Red, he is the campaigner in chief nothing more.
. . . I could go on.
Please do..why don't you talk about his stellar performance in the Arab spring and his leadership there?
Did you forget all of these things or are you just being a GOP shill. You listen to Limbaugh too much.
I din't forget the Red I just looked below the surface of the cheerleading media and read independent analysis. You would be better served to get off the Ds talking point email list and do some independent research. As I said I don't do Fox or Rush and get my information from MSNBC (Morning Joe) and read books such as Woodward's and Isaacson's bio of Jods and many others. I also use NY Times and WAPO websites. Where do you get your info?
Your turn . . . what exactly are these "failures" that you accuse Obama of? Where is a lack of leadership? He led all of these efforts!
In his own words "he lead from behind" What is that but total BS. His biggest failure is not understanding what is required of a leader. He can't resist making comments that poison the atmosphere. Granted the Rs have been a pain in his side but the Ds were a pain in Ws side yet he found ways to work with them (Kennedy & No Child Left Behind). He seems to take extra effort to keep the well poisoned and that my friend is a cardinal sin.Click to expand...
