Can someone please tell me......

[BanginJimmy]

The OP lost my interest in his first and third post. I don't expect much more in this thread until Jimmy post. At least he thinks....

I had a shitty day so I have a little bit for everyone in this thread.

What did Obama do for this country in 1 year of his presidency?

Not a damn thing thats good for the country outside of the troop surge. My only complaint with that is that he waited 3 months after the request and plan was formally made to make his decision.

As I see, prices on everything are climbing up and up. He is just taking trips to every country there is.

That would be called inflation. Its only going to get worse too. This falls equally on everyone that has had a seat in Congress and the White House for the last 25 years. A spend as fast as you can mentality in the current Congress is just the icing on the cake.

Fuck that Ni G G a, revoke that Ni GG a.

Someone should revoke your posting privileges also.

I've been laid off 3 times since he's been president.

Blame Bush and Clinton then. They are the reasons for the housing collapse. Clinton for enacting the CRA amendments and Bush for not dumping those changes.

fuk obama he is just a black bush.

Not even close.

I fully agree with the bolded portion though.

...Bring Bill back he was the best yet

Maybe the best at saving money at the cost of national security. Clinton did 2 significant things in 8 years in office. The first was purger himself, the second was to be able to say he had a budget surplus. We found out on Sept.11 2001 where he found a place to make the cuts.

Obama has done alot of things people disagree with,

Understatement of the decade right there.

but i have faith in a person thats willing to try a different approach rather than stick to same ole same ole routine and expect different results...

What different approach is he trying? The bumper sticker slogans and campaign rhetoric have all proven to be as thin as the paper they were first written on. I wont bother naming the dozens of examples as you obviously only know about the bumper stickers.

what has the president ever done.. when bush was in office he couldnt be blamed for anything... it was all clintons fault..

Actually Bush was blamed for everything since his first day in office and even before that.

now obamas in office, and its all obamas fault!

How is quadrupling the deficit NOT Obama's fault? How is doing a complete 180* turn from his campaign promises NOT Obama's fault?

than u say "people expect obama to change the world overnight they are crazy"
than u ask "what has he done in a year?"

Obama had MANY chances to make a stand in 1 year, yet played partisan politics without a single original idea of his own. Instead of taking a stand against run away spending, the first spending bills he signed had a combined total of more than 15k earmarks totaling more than 100B dollars.

Instead of insisting that CSPAN be allowed to bring cameras into the meetings about health care, he relied on backroom deals to get what he wanted.

The list goes on and on.

You would be suprised how much can be changed after a simple face to face convo.

So with all of the traveling, what has he accomplished internationally? Absolutely nothing.

It was easier for BUSH to mess the country up in 8yrs.

What exactly did Bush do to mess the country up?

Its gonna be even harder to build it back up. He cant just make things better in a YEAR. you gotta give him some time ppl. Its gonna take alot more then Obama ta fix this. He's gonna need three terms, and three he doesn't have. MCcain would have been much worst. He was the best they had to offer and thats why he got chose. Besides Obama h as ppl ova him, as your BOSS at work does. Some body is always telling another person what to do. We cant blame it on him on some real shit. There is still ppl above him spit'n out orders.

After attempting to read this I realized you really should stay out of this section. It is WAY over your head.

What does Obama have to do with you guys getting laid off? Did you get a termination notice on White House stationary directly from his desk? Did he come to our job and say "Yo Holmes... punch out because you're shitcanned"?

I wont say he had anything to do wtih anyone getting laid off, but his proposed policies will drive more and more jobs out of the country. The added taxes that are a part of the health care debate alone will cost millions of jobs.

I just have to wonder if Government was taught in grade school, like the fact that not one entity has total control over government or the economy.

In the current political state we are in, 1 entity DOES have total control. The Democrat party holds a filibuster proof senate and a sizable majority in the House. ANYTHING Pelosi, Reid, and Obama want done they can do. Just look at where health care is right now. They are just going to skip the debate and conference to merge the House and Senate bills and they are doing it with only dems and behind closed doors.

As far as what the President has done this year, when people are looking for a specific result they tend to have tunnel vision and apparently a short memory cause that question gets answered in the politics section at least once a month. If Obama didn't authorize the troop surge it would be he didn't take a stand against terrorism, if the situation with Russia wasn't neutralized many would cite his lack of experience that they tried to inject during the election. Hell I don't know about other people but if you use the stock market as a measure for the economy, it looks to have been a steady climb from a deep hole, and anyone knows that in any recovery gradual is more consistent than immediate change.

Wow thats a lot of writing to say absolutely nothing. Any chance you are planning a career in politics?
