What has Obama Accomplished as President of the United States?

You are too funny I have no fear or hatred of this guy (as you call him). You are obviously one of the many who are blind to the problems this guy is causing our country. I was really hoping that that anyone who disagreed with any of the listed items could show some energy by giving an actual response that disproved any of the listed items with FACTS. Your response was so typical of all this guy's fans NO FACTS disproving the list.

Curiosity compels me to ask exactly what part of whiteheather39's statement you are refuting. Unemployment still rising, debt still rising, gays in military (debatable), national health care (already proven to be unsustainable), No cost of living increase for Social Security, Medicare major cuts with more coming, less support for Israel, etc. All of those are verifiable facts. So the big question is WHEN do you acknowledge that the "guy" as President? Because placing all of the blame in the past is part of denying that President Obama is actually President. So, apparently, a ghost signed the stimulus bill, the national health care bill, the used car deal, the failed mortgage program, the upcoming debt ceiling bill (whatever that is), and all future spending bills.

"guy (as you call him)" OKAY. What do you call him? What are you trying to say? As to facts, if you had delivered any, perhaps we could refute them. Your numbers are percentages of percentages that reflect YEARS of action prior to his taking office and the rest of your slop is opinionated drivel.

OMG YES that should definitely be on the list. He milked that for all he could get!

trruk1 You must be hallucinating! This mission has been in the planning for years before Obummer had a say in the plan. Much about the U.S. operation remained shrouded in secrecy Monday. This is the Washington Post's description of the raid, based on what the newspaper was told by those unnamed officials A crucial break appears to have come on May 2, 2005, when Pakistani special forces arrested a senior al-Qaida operative known as Abu Faraj al-Libi ttp://www.tampabay.com/news/military/war/months-of-planning-minutes-of-execution-how-the-us-got-osama-bin-laden/1167296 "The President also said he was "about as active as any project that I've been involved with since I've been President...

"Took credit"? Well, yes. Because he did it.

This response says it all!! Thanks Gerty

yes it does seem that way

He seems to be really trying his best to do that.

Thank you ParaTed very well said!!

I think the following quote applies to Obama.."You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time." It also applies to myLotters Now I can thank you for your excellent comments!

You are correct on both counts. I think you have been a member here long enough to know that when a link is posted in the text that is a BIG hint that it has been copied from some source and the link verifies the original article. I think I made it obvious that I was posting each item because many myLotters do not like to have to open the link. You may take issue with the UK's health system. I, as a patient using that system for many many years, I can tell you the health services in the US are much superior than those in Britain. However you get what you pay for in Britain. i.e. the NHS eyeglasses are ugly but you can see with them, NHS dentures are also ugly but you can chew with them. Same with the rest of the health services you get the absolute basic healthcare....I have experienced it. You can pay a lot out of your own pocket and get excellent expensive PRIVATE health services. Why do you think Harley Street in London well know for its Private Health Care: Since the 19th century, the number of doctors, hospitals, and medical organizations in and around Harley Street has greatly increased. Records show that there were around 20 doctors in 1860, 80 by 1900, and almost 200 by 1914. When the National Health Service was established in 1948, there were around 1,500. Today, there are more than 3,000 people employed in the Harley Street area, in clinics, medical and paramedical practices, and hospitals such as The London Clinic. I give the link to verify this info:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley_Street So your system does have a BIG difference in the quality of heath care to all its citizens and that shows that those people fortunate enough afford private excellent healthcare have to go and purchase it.

You have hit on my point exactly. The NHS provides care for everybody at an acceptable level - the US does not. If you want better cosmetics then of course you are free to pay for them. The fact is though, that 100% of UK citizens are entitled to healthcare that is free at the point of delivery. The US system provides an equally excellent, probably better in cosmetic terms, but it is only available to those that can afford it. A couple of statistics for you: World Healthcare rankings (Source World Healthcare Organisation) - Investment US 1. Access to healthcare - US 37. UK - 18 New York, NY, June 23, 2010—Despite having the most expensive health care system, the United States ranks last overall compared to six other industrialized countries—Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom—on measures of health system performance in five areas: quality, efficiency, access to care, equity and the ability to lead long, healthy, productive lives, according to a new Commonwealth Fund report. While there is room for improvement in every country, the U.S. stands out for not getting good value for its health care dollars, ranking last despite spending $7,290 per capita on health care in 2007 compared to the $3,837 spent per capita in the Netherlands, which ranked first overall. (The Commonwealth Fund). And finally on the quotes - from a group of US doctors (admittedly from Connecticut so they are bound to be in Obama's pay!) -http://cthealth.server101.com/the_case_for_universal_health_care_in_the_united_states.htm As for Harley Street and UK private healthcare. As a former trustee of a private hospital I feel more than qualified to comment about this. When exactly were you last in the UK? I suspect that you have lived in the US longer than you lived here. Harley St exists mostly for wealthy foreign visitors and always has done - at least in my lifetime. It represents a TINY proportion of all healthcare here. Private healthcare in the UK is often to be found in NHS hospitals supplemented by small specialist private hospitals. What is does it does well. The chief reason that people opt for private healthcare is a fast track to treatment. The NHS is great at emergencies but sometimes routine treatment can take an age. As I said before, the NHS has its problems. But the fact is that you will be treated and for free. Routinely doctors in the private sector also work within the NHS who also trained them. All private hospitals recognise that the UK's NHS teaching hospitals are among the very best in the world with producing thousands of highly qualified medical staff each year. Healthcare here does not depend on the individual's ability to pay. That is where the systems differ. The US is light years behind in this respect and your pharmaceutical companies are very happy about that I am certain.

Only now, the UK has made major cuts to their health care system in an effort to balance the budget. Which means a lot of stuff they once paid for is no longer being covered.

I wouldn't say the "gay debate" has made the military weaker. I wish that was the case, it's the shaving of our funding that made it weaker, using our men and women gay or not to the extreme has weakened our military. Being prior military myself, I didn't care if I stood next to a man or a woman that was gay. They joined for the same reasons I did, so let them do their jobs. You will have people that look down on that. Especially when it comes to living in a small living space like for an example on a ship or even worse a sub.

Celtic, the military is disciplined... we are also human beings.

It would seem. I thought the military was disciplined.--?

Kudos to these brave Navy Seals!

I do not have the most important qualifications to get into any branch of politics and they are.....Liar, greediness,and narcissistic sociopath's tendencies (no conscience).

Whiteheather, you could always become a lawyer, you then would meet all the qualifications.

Able to lie and greedy is not enough though, you must also possess other elements of surprise like talk at the same time as you chew food, "talk the talk and not walk the talk", then you will stand a chance. You do need to regularly practice in your daily life for these personal qualities inside you to grow, America political stage is a great place to polish your God given talent.

Fantastic.....absolutely true! Why are there still so many people blind to these accomplishments which have no other purpose than to destroy our country. It is beyond my understanding that we(??) are still allowing this calculated agenda to happen and get progressively worse every day.

It is well beyond understanding how there can be so many dunderheads among us and elected officials at all levels who are so corrupt as to allow this to continue.

Always fun to see how liars defend his corruption.

It is so sad to start to notice when old age starts to influence one's thinking! I am quite a bit older than you but I still can make rational observations about who is ruining our country.

This also applies to your comment on Response #11.

You are welcome. Love, The Ratter Cat

Funny, because there seems to be a lack of acceptance on the part of the left that President Obama is actually President. The friendship with Israel is NOT based on religion. That's a huge misconception. They are friends because America supports that idea that they can actually have a Government and Country. Odd, how you think that has anything whatsoever to do with religion. In fact, President Obama has shown a lack of supporting Freedom of Religion by weakening the ties with the only country in that area that is our friend. The President bears the blame because he is President. It is that simple. The buck always stops at the top. Those bills that Congress creates still have to be signed into law by him. Ultimately, he has the power to say NO. But by signing, he has agreed to the bill and it becomes law. So, yes it is his responsibility for the passage of bad bills that become law. Really, how many of those do you think would survive a veto? The answer is NONE. (For a fact, the health care bill would not have.) You see, the President has utterly failed in the one area he has the most influence in. Not talking spending bills, debt ceiling, health care, or any of those other issues. No, his main failure is that he no longer instills Confidence in either America or his leadership abilities. Whether it is the excessive lying in his political speeches, the extremely bad timing on some issues, the fact that businesses have no idea what the tax rates are going to be next year, or the failure to grasp the severity of some situations, his credibility is shot.

sierras236 Kudos for another excellent factual comment Thank you!

Of course the list is not complete without adding the multiple vacations. Thanks!

Complete nonsense. Check your facts. Bush, now, it seemed he was always on vacation. He often claimed to be "cutting brush" on his "ranch" (all hat and no cattle) when what he was really doing was slipping out of the house to go have a few nips from the vodka he stashed. Obama, 26 days during first year. Bush, 69 days.

Another "fact" easy to disprove. factcheck.org/2010/01/president-obamas-vacation-days/

Excellent response! Very True! I thoroughly agree (and enjoyed your fussin')
