Obama's First Six Months' Accomplishments

 

 

1. Offended the Queen of England.

 

2. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.

 

3. Praised the Marxist Daniel Ortega.

 

4. Kissed Socialist Hugo Chavez on the cheek.

 

5. Endorsed the Socialist Evo Morales of Bolivia.

 

6. Sided with Hugo Chavez and Communist Fidel Castro against

9. Expanded the bailouts.

 

10. Insulted everyone who has ever loved a Special

Olympian.

 

11. Doubled our national debt.

 

12. Announced the termination of our new missile defense

system the day after North Korea launched an

ICBM.

 

13. Released information on U.S. Intelligence gathering

despite urgings of his own CIA director and the prior four

CIA directors.

 

14. Accepted without comment that five of his cabinet

members cheated on their taxes and two other nominees withdrew

after they couldn't take the heat.

 

15. Appointed a Homeland Security Chief who identified military

veterans and abortion opponents as "dangers to the

nation."

 

16. Ordered that the word "terrorism" no longer be

used and instead refers to such acts as "man made

disasters."

 

17. Circled the globe to publicly apologize for

America's world leadership.

 

18. Told the Mexican president that the violence in their

country was because of us.

 

19. Politicized the census by moving it into the White

House from the Department of Commerce.

 

20. Appointed as Attorney General the man who orchestrated

the forced removal and expulsion to Cuba of a 9-year-old

whose mother died trying to bring him to freedom in

the United States.

22. Low altitude photo shoot of Air Force One over

New York City that frightened thousands of New Yorkers.

 

23. Sent his National Defense Advisor to Europe to assure them

that the US will no longer treat Israel in a special manner and

they might be on their own with the Muslims.

 

24. Praised Jimmy Carter's trip to Gaza where he sided with

terrorist Hamas against Israel.

 

25. Nationalized General Motors and Chrysler while

turning shareholder control over to the unions and freezing

out retired investors who owned their bonds. Committed

unlimited taxpayer billions in the process.

 

26. Passed a huge energy tax in the House that will make

American industry even less competitive while costing

homeowners thousands per year.

 

27. Announced nationalized health care "reform" that

will strip seniors of their Medicare, cut pay of physicians,

increase taxes yet another $1 trillion, and put everyone on

rationed care with government bureaucrats deciding who

gets care and who doesn't.

 

 

Bloomberg:

Daschle says, "Health care reform will not be pain

free. Seniors should be more accepting of the

conditions that come with age instead of treating them," while

former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm says seniors have "a

duty to die."

 

Remember that the President, Senators and Congressmen have their own special gold plated health care plan which is guaranteed the remainder of their lives and they are not subject to this new law if they pass it.

This is the guy that 52% of the country and 95% of the morons on this website voted for. Hard to believe.

Tongue or no tongue?

This is the guy that 52% of the country....voted for. Hard to believe.

 

Same could be said of the elections in 2000 and 2004.

 

By extension I assume you're saying it's "hard to believe" that people didn't vote for McCain/Palin instead of Obama? In that scenario I think in terms of lip service to the issues of the day we'd be getting a lot of different language (butchered, in the case of Palin) but behind the scenes, basically the same crap. Both parties are working for the same boss and it ain't the American people- that's for sure.

 

FW (and Serenity) while I remain suspicious I remain optimistic that the country is not only going to recover economically but will in the end forge better relationships with those countries despite or perhaps because of the language that you both find patently offensive. Strident hawkish rhetoric certainly hasn't worked and under such leadership we've seen only the proliferation of radical anti-Americanism. Kim Jong-il for example doesn't deserve a pass of any sort but freezing him out clearly hasn't improved the situation.

 

I applaud your vigilance and skepticism but I personally think that, given that we really are in uncharted waters, the jury is still out on where Obama's policies and language will lead us as a country. The only sure thing I see is that the direction the Republican party has taken this country was the wrong one. If the wacko elements of that party can be sidelined then I'm not the only one who would be willing to listen. For the time being, all they offer is ways to get back to doing what they were doing before- militarism, expansion of the American empire at the expense of everyone else, jingoism, slogans, pandering to religious groups by way of divisive emotional issues such as gay marriage, flag burning and abortion, and perpetuating an economic environment that encourages and rewards greed and abuse of power. I do actually believe in free market principles especially as they pertain to small business owners but that has nothing to do with allowing massive banking corporations and these "multi-national" corporations to devour everything in their path, ship all our jobs overseas, hide their assets off shore, and effectively suffocate opportunities for lesser-off Americans as well as those in other countries. When I hear conservatives speak of a robust but carefully regulated free market then I might start listening. And as far as our military presence around the world- I'm pretty libertarian (?) on this as I think it's unrealistic and unhealthy to our survival as a republic to think we can keep our forces spread around the world under the auspices of "security" when the real agenda is guarding our resources and having a staging ground to launch proxy wars. The American empire as we know it is going to end whether we like it or not; if we embrace that and shift that into something constructive here at home we may well end up a far far better country than we even are today. If instead we try to forcibly continue to the bitter end our current trajectory, in a hundred years we'll be a sorry land of people longing for the glory days.

I don't understand why more people weren't excited about Palin gettin all mavericky in the whitehouse. things could have been so much better.

...I assume you're saying it's "hard to believe" that people didn't vote for McCain/Palin instead of Obama?

Aren't you all forgetting the vibrant, exciting political movement that was the Paul Ron revolution? Now there was a real alternative to the status quo!!

 

[kevbone]

 

 

1. Offended the Queen of England.

 

Of course he did….he’s black

 

2. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.

 

This is the reason I voted for him. It takes humility and diplomacy to bow. He did the right thing. All presidents should bow and show respect to other world leaders.

 

3. Praised the Marxist Daniel Ortega.

 

Who?

 

4. Kissed Socialist Hugo Chavez on the cheek.

 

Who?

 

7. Announced we would meet with Iranians with no

pre-conditions while they're building their nuclear

weapons.

 

Another good reason to vote for him. When McSame talked about this I thought he needs to pull his head out of the sand. What an Asshole…..(McCane).

 

8. Gave away billions to AIG also without

pre-conditions.

 

What we get into “who started” game? Bush……

 

10. Insulted everyone who has ever loved a Special

Olympian.

 

Yeah….but did he win a gold metal?

 

13. Released information on U.S. Intelligence gathering

despite urgings of his own CIA director and the prior four

CIA directors.

 

Good….secrets are BAD!

 

16. Ordered that the word "terrorism" no longer be

used and instead refers to such acts as "man made

disasters."

 

About fing time.

 

17. Circled the globe to publicly apologize for

America's world leadership.

 

The world needs an apology from the US. The US has been the bully of the world for a long time. Once again….it shows great leadership to do what he did. Good for you Obama.

 

 

21. Salutes as heroes three Navy SEALS who took down

three terrorists who threatened one American life and the

next day announces members of the Bush administration may stand

trial for "torturing" three 9/11 terrorists by pouring

water up their noses.

 

Good….Torture is bad….hahahaha ”water up the nose”….that good. Try it and see if you still call it “water up the nose”……

 

23. Sent his National Defense Advisor to Europe to assure them

that the US will no longer treat Israel in a special manner and

they might be on their own with the Muslims.

 

ABOUT FUCKING TIME. What is Israel treated different? Does not make sense.

 

 

27. Announced nationalized health care "reform" that

will strip seniors of their Medicare, cut pay of physicians,

increase taxes yet another $1 trillion, and put everyone on

rationed care with government bureaucrats deciding who

gets care and who doesn't.

 

All untrue.

#1 and #2 produce a paradox - is the man supposed to kiss royal ass or not?

 

#18 is true - were the drugs flowing through mexico to fulfill the american appetite legal, then there would be signficantly less violence in mexico - how on earth does the parallel to prohibition-era chicago escape you?

 

#22 - i seem to recall the homeslice who was in charge of that operation got the axe - was that not enough blood for you?

 

more amusing, you might add the accomplishments of conservatives during that same time period you fucks have gone wookie-beserker batshit crazy in that time and further alienated yourselves from the main-stream

 

i still prefer this tiger-woods feller to the shrub

I don't understand why more people weren't excited about Palin gettin all mavericky in the whitehouse. things could have been so much better.

 

Maybe the R's could have swung more votes if they went with "John 'Mack-Daddy' McCain" instead of the "the Maverick"?

"Brown" people? As usual, with you racist libtards, a slur or ethnic designation is the first thing into your "mind" and out of your mouth.

 

[olyclimber]

well the recession is over! THANK YOU OBAMA FROM DELIVERING US FROM THE EVIL HORDES!!!! YOU SINGLE HANDEDLY SAVED THE DAY DESPITE GEORGE BUSH JRS EFFORTS!!!!!!!1

and as usual, the first thing you do is accuse the libtards of being racist

 

it's hard not to note that the complaints listed in that post all do apply to obama's relations w/ non-honkies, and that they are complaints rooted in the fact that obama wasn't acting like the HNIC in his relations w/ them

[j_b]

Of course, it is abundantly clear that much wingnut propaganda about Obama these days plays on the racism of their readers. It's all about the white outrage.

[No. 13 Baby]

Well we know the "conservatards" aren't racist... because the KKK guy says so!

The only white outrage I see comes from left-wing radicals like you.

[prole]

 

HERE'S THE PROOF!!!

 

[j_b]

is KKK really a moron or does he act like one when the stupidity and deviousness of right wing propaganda is exposed?

[prole]

No, he's cc.com's most erudite and foremost expert on race in America. The breadth and depth of his knowledge on the subject is immense as he is keen to point out.

you obviously didn't get the memo on the new white conservative manifesto and marching orders as pertains to race: if a black man can become president, then obviously racism has ended, and further, anyone who dares to mention racism is the real racist.

 

Alternatively, since we all know that all blacks and Latinos hate white people and have socialist agendas, if you are white and support Obama then you hate white people- kinda like the opposite of Clayton- you're the white black supremacist, maybe that's what they mean when they say libtards are all racist?

 

Either way, this sort of switcheroo accusatory hypocracy is sure to confuse and obfuscate and meets the ultimate objective of perpetuating conflict.

[olyclimber]

every so often i have to pinch myself. and yes, its what you're thinking. OBAMA IS PRESIDENT!

[KaskadskyjKozak]

further, anyone who dares to mention racism is the real racist.

 

Bullshit. We aren't talking about people merely "mentioning" race.

 

The typical racist libtard on this forum repeatedly drops racial slurs left and right - and it sure comes easy for him. The typical racist on this board sees everything in terms of race and constantly tries to interject race into every political topic, accusing the "other" side of being racist while simultaneously being the one who interjected race into the conversation in the first place. And by "interjection" I mean saying shit like "angry white men hate brown people". Read any post by that dip-shit No 13 for a perfect illustration.
