Yes He Did! President Obama's Top 50 Accomplishments | Republicons Don't Have One (Sabotage?).
Realize as you go through these, Cons fought against them all. This is why you don't let Cons anywhere near local, state or federal government. Hey no-difference dummies, is this clear enough for you? And how did you miss this?
Print them out and whip them out when dumbasses question!
Cons don't have one, we DO!
So many trolls around lately. Bet they love this post. It's good to remind them of where we've been as the repugs have clearly attacked and have tried thwarting anything Obama tried to accomplish. They could not stop a winner. We learned from the past, the old trickle down my leg bullshit. It's time for a level playing field for all not just the FAT greedy rich.
That's why the trolls hate this Forum and any and all good contributors.
They do and they soon learn that we also derive strength from their stupidity as well as each other. At that point, they realize they have wasted their time and not ours. In here, we know where the truth comes down. Being active and getting in the game is what it's all about. I never stop fighting for what is right for our country as long as alive. We all have a purpose for being on this planet. We need to get something done that moves the human race forward a step or two. ANd, if we're lucky, we can still save our planet from being devoured.
I too feel the calling to fight corruption and to make a better healthier world for all. The trolls in their way let us know that it is working. That our support of each other and our outreach education and lobbying is working.
If the electorate votes Obama in for a second term, then the country deserves to go to hell in a hand basket.

If a repub gets in the office, then the whole planet might as well go to hell, because HELL will be a vacation spot compared to what the repubs will do to not only this nation, but will do to the entire world... As far as I can see, I see no difference between the Republic(ans) of today, and the Republic(ans) of the Roman Empire under Nero. They intend to flout our Military might to the world and try to IMPOSE their agenda upon it. I have two very apt bumper stickers I made..."Romney Wants Wall Street Totally Unbound, So That It Can Finish Grinding The Poor Into The Ground." and "Santorum Wants The Presidents Position, So That He Can Create 'The New Inquisition'"
The country has already gone to hell in a Republicon hand basket. We are still pulling ourselves out. The last thing we need is another Republicon hand basket!

Keep supporting that scumbag, see where that takes you..
If it takes us to a place with fewer and fewer Republicons in our poor Con-damaged government, it will be a welcome change.
Unite and Win! Unite and Win! 2010 Never EVER Again!
Grand Slam Home run. The GOP is the party of NO. Not only that, they have ineffectively tried to take down Obama as their sole purpose of occupying Washington. They do nothing. Nothing!!! It's time send these clowns home!!! They hate government, get them OUT!!!
lol I went through this list picking apart the moronic points one by one. I want to know the Obama staffer/aide that wrote this lovely piece of garbage...
My favorite was the "Ended the war in Iraq". The withdrawl plans were drawn up in '08 under the BUSH ADMINISTRATION. All Obama did was stick to BUSH's gameplan. If you think Obama had ANYTHING to do with Iraq ending, you're either ignorant or living under a rock...
And who lied us into two fraudulent protracted wars in the first place?? Bush-Cheney-Big Biz!!
Still waiting for RepubliCON accomplishments beyond redistribution of wealth to the 1% and sabotage-treason!!!
Break free of the Cult GOP, join the human race!!

"35. Let Space Shuttle Die and Killed Planned Moon Mission: Allowed the expensive ($1 billion per launch), badly designed, dangerous shuttle program to make its final launch on July 8, 2011. Cut off funding for even more bloated and problem-plagued Bush-era Constellation program to build moon base in favor of support for private-sector low-earth orbit ventures, research on new rocket technologies for long-distance manned flight missions, and unmanned space exploration, including the largest interplanetary rover ever launched, which will investigate Mars’s potential to support life."
Wow to think they could go this low as a person of science. We know the shuttle program to be the best advancement in space technology. This shuttle was the reason the Hubble telescope is in space along with the International Space Station. Who ever wrote this knows nothing of science and should be never be allowed to write again on a count of slander.
also
"10. Toppled Moammar Gaddafi: In March 2011, joined a coalition of European and Arab governments in military action, including air power and naval blockade, against Gaddafi regime to defend Libyan civilians and support rebel troops. Gaddafi’s forty-two-year rule ended when the dictator was overthrown and killed by rebels on October 20, 2011. No American lives were lost."
He help as in supported we didnt really do anything. We did give $890 million dollars and launched cruse missiles. The real war was won by the brave Libyans who fought for freedom. They did most of the work
Just THAT is more accomplishment than 8 years of Cheney-Bush, and worlds less regression and damage.

military maneuvers are considered accomplishments ?
The US Iraq/Afghan soldiers principal means of interrogation for 10+ years has been to crush the testicles of infants in the middle east to get parent confessions.
At Mai-Lai they cut off the penis and labia of every child and adult they killed and made necklaces, this is why there was outrage not over the death but the sexual mutilation of the children.
Same as now the US solider sodomizes children in the arab/persian world with their guns and comes home a hero.;
Why does OWS always delete anything about the atrocity's that US soldiers inflict on the world?
sex doesn't make the pain and loss of death worse
the statement is boring and not original
The worst thing you can do to an Asian person ( East of Turkey ), is destroy their family tree by crushing the testicle's of the son, that means your family line is finished, this is the worst possible thing you can do.
Thus the USA does the worst possible thing to get the greatest results.
Destroying the child son's ability to breed will drive most people crazy, and that was Rumsfeld's goal all along to make enemy's quicker than you could kill them, so they would kill themselves.
The statement might be boring, but just like Mai-Lai masacre, ... folks always leave out the real atrocity, that every where the US soldiers went they cut off the penis and labia of children to make necklaces.
So is it your contention that it is President Obama who is mandating and supporting these, to my knowledge, undocumented crimes against humanity, or are you referring to the atrocities committed by the Bush Administration, The REPUBLICAN administration, the same republicans presently in control of a great portion of the United States, who wish to return the nation to the same failed and criminal policies of the Bush years. If that is your contention, that President Obama is doing these things, then you need tp check yourself into a mental hospital. Bush's crew does need to be charged with and found guilty of their war crimes against humanity and the Geneva Convention. Who knows, maybe someday a bounty hunter will extrodite them to a country where justice can be served. President Obama knew he would never be able to accomplish it here because the repubs never would have allowed it, and the ensuing civil war it would have caused would have only weakened our nation worse than it already was with the criminal abuses of the financial system causing our near depression level economic crisis. There is an old saying... "Fight only those fights that you have a 'reasonable' expectation of winning." President Obama knew where his priorities were. If you want to see who will be worse for this nation as President..the Democrats or the Republicans.. you only have to look at Michigan to KNOW exactly what the Republican agenda is... and any fool who claims that the efforts there are in any way the American Dream... are either traitors to America, or self declared enemies of America, and are in desperate need of judicial incarceration for the safety of all America.
[Removed]
In a political climate that allows two prolonged wars based primarily on fraud, mere maneuvers are welcome accomplishments.
30+ years of Republicon corruption and entrenchment doesn't disappear in one term by one man.
Don't show up late to play the game and bitch about the score.
Incidentally, the Congress (particularly the House post-2010) has succeeded in one major accomplishment: chopping a zero off the number in the title of your post.
No idea what you mean
What I meant by that is that if Congress worked with him the same way it worked with FDR then he would have been able to get ten times more done than he did (not that his current accomplishments are anything to sneeze at).
Indeed, FDR was blessed with a cooperative Congress. And even Republicons still had a sense of "shame," which they have since then lost.

Swindlers and swindled: Republicons.
Passed Health Care Reform: Bad policy that will not fix anything.
Passed the Stimulus: Vary bad policy.
Passed Wall Street Reform: What reform.
Ended the War in Iraq: Right Obama get credit for a pull out date set up under Bush.
Began Drawdown of War in Afghanistan: Fro
Eliminated Osama bin laden: HELL YEAH!!!!!!
Turned Around U.S. Auto Industry: FORD did not take any money from the government. GM is Government motors still and still owes Billions to us,and lets not forget the gem in the crown, Chrysler is NOT even an American anymore. How is that VOLT going anyway!!! The hybrid car they that they call an electric car with extended range.
Recapitalized Banks: Tell that to all the OWS's
Repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”: No problem here.
Toppled Moammar Gaddafi: He did WHAT???? It seems that it was a civil war there and he choose a side. But now he stands around with Syria doing nothing. Did we not help Libya because the Government had tanks killing the uprising? it is much worse in Syria and nothing.....
Told Mubarak to Go: Yep and now Egypt is not a friend to America at all anymore. Great plan there.
Reversed Bush Torture Policies: And yet those policies help find OBL and now he is dead at last.

Increased Support for Veterans: Good
Tightened Sanctions on Iran: and they will still get the nukes they want so they can kill the Jew's and later us. But it is really just to bring about The 12th Imam. All bad for any kind of peace.
This is too funny to suggest that Obama has reversed 'torture policy', under Obama they're now killing USA citizens abroad, Bush could have never gotten away with such.
The fact is under Obama the government now has a free card to murder anybody anywhere they wish.
It does seem that the rules are changed to a dictator. The President can kill Americans with out any trial. and Indefinite Detention of Americans. All bad.
You're not really normal.
You're abnormal. Suffering from a brain malfunction.
Running in an endless loop of repetition.
So says the person with nothing to say but insults.
You didn't think your post was insulting?
I'm insulted.
Your post even borders on spam. So you can't follow directions, why should I believe the veracity of any of it?
If you are insulted by my opinions and facts then you have a problem. Also this is not a spam in any way. I listed 21 of 50 so called victories of Obama and I commented on them. some I agrees with, Some I did not say anything about, The rest needed well you read it. But you choose to not defend what you disagreed with instead you attacked on a personal level, There for I win on all points.
Good to know that was mostly opinion.
You should have said so at the start.
Unless you wanted to come on like FLAKESnews?
In which case, get a life.
And still I win because you can not refute anything I said. Everything on the web site is mostly opinions, there are facts and then there are miss stated facts. Or just not understood facts. and then there are just plain lies.
oddly there are no pictures
did the people not have camera's
Really? i mean really? you really going to claim that there not mass killings going on in Syria? the media is not allowed to go there, and there are a few pictures that have gotten out but only a few.
pictures ?
crap us surveillance can snap them from satellite
So all this killing going on in Syria is what???? Just a misunderstanding? Russia and China block the vote in the UN because nothing is happening their?
why can't the US provide satellite photos of the massacres ?

You won??!!
OK If you say so...congratulations.
Enjoy your door prize. Y'all come back next week now, hear?
And again still nothing from you? can you not refute anything i said in my first POST with the 21 out of 50 victories for Obama? I have to admit I am really disappointed in you. So yes be default i win the talking match. So ship me my door prize and i will see you next week.
As I say, none of these things would have been done under Republicon rule, which caused most of the problems in the first place. 30+ years of Con corruption and entrenchment will take more than one term and one man to fix. This is a start. Continued progress will take public vigilance.

What ever you are smoking you need to put it down. Progress to just make all slaves to the state is not what i call good progress at all. and yes to become a slave to corporations is not good either.
If you let "corporations" they will use our great government, "the state" or whatever else they can to enslave us. Untethered capitalism and plutocrats don't like democracy. That's why they spend so much money fighting unions, jury trials and elections. If you shun the tools and weapons our forefathers left us, don't bitch about them being used against you (not talking about muskets).
If you're worried about Iran you're either stupid, ignorant or lying. Nuclear-armed USSR and Red China were much more crazy and dangerous than Iran could hope to be, but no nuke happened. Quit drinking the Fox Lies Koolaid.
Untethered anything is always bad. Muskets huh, If this a claim that we do not have guns rights. Bring it!!!! As to your lack of understanding let in enlighten you on a few things. USSR and RED China have nukes and they believe in "MAD" It is because of "MAD" that the Cuban Missile Crises ended. they do not want to die either. you can always work with an enemy that does not want to die. Japan also did not want to die in the end. now if you listen to the leaders in IRAN and do not disbelieve them they have said that they have no problem if every Iranian was killed in a nuclear strike as long has thry got to kill the Jews first. The leaders also believe that they can speed up the 12 imam to come. Also the last time a nation leader spoke like this it was Hitler and he even wrote about it before and no one believed him either. and he followed through what is said. So you can choose to not listen or you can wake
God I'm sick of you dumb-ass rightie fools. You're a mirror image of the radical Muslims, our Hillbilly Taliban.
Fox Lies! Quit drinking the Koolaid!

The Spymaster: Meir Dagan on Iran's supposed threat
In a rare interview, ex-chief of Mossad Meir Dagan speaks out against a preemptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities anytime soon. He says the Iranian regime is rational in its own way. (CBS News) Meir Dagan has been described as "hard-charging" and "stops at nothing." For more than eight years, Dagan made full use of those qualities as chief of Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, where he focused on keeping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. When that job ended, Dagan did something unheard of for an ex-Mossad chief: he spoke out publicly, voicing opposition to Israel launching preemptive airstrikes against Iran's nuclear facilities anytime soon. Dagan believes the Iranian regime is a rational one and even its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - who has called for Israel to be annihilated - acts in a somewhat rational way when it comes to Iran's nuclear ambitions. Lesley Stahl reports.
Keep your crazy to your militia circle jerks.

Well you have a choice. you can learn from history, and it seems you have learned nothing from it at all. or you can see who the real enemies are. There was this leader in England that declared "peace in our time" in 1938. They also thought Germany was rational. So are you willing to give up everything for peace? It can be done.....

Swindlers and swindled: Republicons.
The problem with you leftest, is your claims always end up killing people. You claim you want free speech but never want to let any one speak that you do not agree with, and you will and do use violence to enforce you will. Then if the police stop you, you then claim to be victims of the evil state. You claim to protect life and gleefully murder the unborn. you all gave up the Communism, and Fascism. Two very lovely governments. if you can not understand how they are BOTH on the left then you do not understand you own movement. I have to admit that you are very good at murder and genocide.
Wow, you are a very misinformed individual. You want to talk about murder and genocide, let's talk about the Reagan administration and their holy war on south America. I know it is easy to blame the left so then you can let your nation off the hook. But history does not have your back. lets not talk ideology of foreign nations,but lets just keep it an American affair and talk about all the proxy wars our nation has conducted in the name of free markets. For you to call the left diabolical and the right un corrupted, shows you have a poor understanding of American exceptionalism. There is nothing overly righteous about our nation and the right is just as culpable when it comes to murder and genocide. Maybe it has a lot to do with the bomb that we ignited in '45, that has made us a paranoid basket case of our formal selves. Or brutality and the elite are just the culmination of a free enterprise system. either way, you need to stop pointing fingers and do a little soul searching. History is written by the winners and this is the only reason Hitler is a tyrant and not a hero. So instead of pointing fingers at the left lets talk about American corporate imperialism and the two sides that wield the reigns.
You have a point there. but calling it a holy war is stupid. It is easy to blame the left because they have done the worse by far. Say that the right has also done bad things. And both side agree with Americans greats failing.( The enemy of my enemy is my friend until he becomes my enemy) Also go way back to Japan. The traders wanted to open Japan to trade and the US fleet was used to open the door. One can say that was the first step that led to the attack on Pearl harbor. Left, right, : The path to hell is paved with good intentions. History may be written by the winners, but it is never forgotten and will later it Always gets out.
When reviewing history from the beginning of the cold war to the present and listening to some of these freemarketeers rationalize their atrocities, I believe that the American love affair with capitalism is pretty close to a religious fervent, or a holy crusade. Read what Poindexter is quoted as saying when he was kicked out of the Reagan administration. His ability to justify his transgressions shows that he was a freemarket acolyte. He was one of many freemarket fundamentalists that wont look at any other ideas, believing an unregulated free market is as holy as heaven its self.
So I don't believe I am stupid for the choice of words I used. look at the rational behind the domino theory, and tell me there was not an iota of hypocrisy behind the idea that it was righteous to use guns and bombs to stop a nation from becoming communistic on their own accord. After France left Vietnam, the people chose to go in the opposite direction than what America preferred. Instead of being rational about it, we dreamed up the domino theory to justify our actions. If capitalism is so superior, then why is it always exported with the barrel of a gun? should not its superiority win the hearts and minds of the world by its own fruits? But, at last, it always boils down to that the people of the world don't know what is good for them, and they have to be educated in what is best for them.
Nice, why is it you seem to love the ideals of Socialism. If i do not join this movement then am a problem and must be removed to protect the group. It always seems to go that way in the end. All those Russians, Chinese, Vietnamese, and other nations that fall you this movement did not just kill themselves. It takes away freedom and liberty. You do not own anything, not even your life. I look around and do not see proof of a Socialist nation that is anything but total failure. or a nation that is failing. But then America is not a free nation anymore either. Little bit by little bit the Socialist have infected this nation and we will become a Fascist nation it we can not stop it. But you may want that in the end.
why does anyone who questions the atrocities of his nation have to be branded a socialist? I am just giving you my interpretation of our history. Un like Rand who believed in total free markets, I believe there are some services that need to be socialized. But i'm not fervent in my belief to say that capitalism does not have its positives too. I believe we are at a point where the wealth is so consolidated at the top that the tax schedule needs to be revamped. that does not make me a socialist that just makes me practicalist. You are right about one thing though. We do have a streak of Fascism running through are body politic. but fascism is something that no sane working class individual would ever rally for. you want to know the difference between a socialist and a fascist? a Fascist has his boot on the body politic's neck, and a socialist has his boot on the private sector's neck, either way the average person is assed out.
Well said.. Understand I question what others call atrocities. I do not agree that water-boarding is a atrocity. But we can run circles on that forever and never agree. The problem i have with a few having the most money it seems to come down to jealousy. If they stole the money or cheated others then yes the money is not theirs. But there are many that got rich because of hard work and inspiration, or they smart and setup something that others wanted and got rich that way. Just who do we think we are to say you are rich so give up most of you money to the Government. You may call it practical but I call it stealing. In no way do I think the tax system is fair. To be truly fair all would pay taxes and all would paid the same rate. Not the tiered rate with deductions it is now. So any clue how you stop the government from becoming a Fascist or a Communist nation or a hybrid for the two?
Could you tie that together and clarify it some?
That was just a confused mess.
What claim did I make that killed somebody?
I know Shooz, I used a firehouse on everyone on the left. My bad.
What's a firehouse?
Are you a union fireman?
Funny, you know I miss spelled that. And no I an not a Union anything. Give my money to a few power hungry fools that claim to want to help me. The unions where good in the day before they became the all powerful in the 60's and 70's, but their time is over. And they now it. But then you know that a union was called before America???? they where guilds....it starts out good then it becomes the problem.
You also misspelled misspelled as, miss spelled.
Have you been drinking?
Now you want to go off on yet another pointless anti rant?
Do you guys ever stop whining?
Is not the point of the OWS whining about that others have and what you want?
(YOU RW ZOMBIES DON'T "ENLIGHTEN" OR LEARN, YOU OBEY AND BELIEVE!! THIS IS FOR READERS:)
Indiana, of course, has tried “right-to-work” once before, passing a similar law in 1957. The law was so unpopular that voters demolished Republicans at the polls in 1958, and Democrats repealed it in 1965.
Righties always repeat themselves, failures and all, like that nation-killing Ryan regurgitation.
Chambers of Commerce, ALEC and Corporations themselves are "Organizations" promoting business for which they pay and we end up paying through cost shifting. Unions are organizations promoting the workers, the people. Unions have cured and eradicated many terrible practices employers inflicted on people in a greedy frenzy to increase profits. Many we all enjoy today, some in ignorance some in hypocrisy (in the rightie's case, both). Unions have operating costs, too, money well spent for the benefit of the people. A foreign concept to Cons. And the reason they wage war on Unions. Support your US Postal Service.
Fascism is a fundamental Right Wing construct, no matter what your Bortzs and Limpaws spit up or pull out of their asses. But that is fact and Cons can only exist in a fact-free, authoritarian state of being.
So what. It it back and it is fair. Get over it.
The unions served there time and like all unneeded things they must be cast aside for people to grow. You can try to prop up the unions all you want, they are dying off. That is one reason why you all want to change the voting rule from to form a union from a secret vote to a open vote. This way the Union Thugs can know who did not vote for the union then they can "adjust that persons thinking".
FASCISM is and always will be a construct of the left. No matter how you Socialism lovers try to rewrite history. The simple name of the political groups that formed them and what they claimed they stood for is always SOCIALISM. It is always in the end about the total control of the government. The government controlling everyone and everything. The true right wing wants a small Government and maximum safety of the people from that Government.
The trouble with you and other righties is that you are brain-dead.
And:
In Case You Forgot or Missed it, RepuliCons Nearly Killed this Country and They're Still Trying. Brainwash, rinse, repeat, as long as it takes, to rid the country of Socially concerned democracy.

You do not seem to have anything to say for yourself. you are just a video link and and a few word jingles """""Paid for by Koch Bros and Citizens-United who-knows. Recalibrate your thinking. Recognize your enemy. Unite and Win! Unite and Win! 2010 Never EVER Again!! Image and Vote! Image and Vote! "We the 1%" NOT What They Wrote!!""""" Why not do a little critical thinking for once. Cause and effect. Where is the resources to do what I want to do. and so on and so on.
A rightie asking for critical thinking, that's funny.
Where ARE the resources to cover the tax breaks for the rich? Two bogus wars? Bail-outs? You righties are such abject hypocrites, that you're delusional.
The tax brakes where for everyone. Wake up and learn the facts. A agree with you on the bail-outs. and the two wars where not bogus. But I understand that facts confuses you. With a 15 TRILLION dept and the government adding 1.2 TRILLION each year, It it not the tax breaks or the war it is the spending in government. Take a look at your own money, Just how long can you spend 100% more then you take in before you you can pay the basic bills? Left or right does not matter when it comes to spending money in government. Every time you think that Right spent to much money the Left gets in and shows you how to really spend money.
What is the difference if a worker pays a union to get ahead and a corporation that pays a lobbying group to do the exact same thing? Where as workers pay unions to get better wages, Conservatives pay ALEC. There is no difference unless you are talking to a hypocritical Conservative.
I'll give you your point that it is both parties bankrupting America, but they are both just playing the game laid out in front of them, the game that only OWS wants to end, and you want to see stay the same. If you see what the moderate pro OWS want, you'll see it is money out of politics, which should help all tax payers and other Americans. Until, this happens, You can't demonize one side without checking the abuses that the other side does too. As is, I have more understanding for the left than I do for the right, but see both of their antics as recalcitrant in nature.
THE DIFFERENCE IS CHOICE. I should have the choice to pay, NOT be force to pay to have the job. i SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A JOB WITH OUT JOINING A UNION.
If you want to pay a lobbying group ( ak the UNION of your choice) that should be youR choice.
Also you seem to like the work hypocrite a lot only for the right and you do seem to be blind either by ignorance or willfully to all the Hypocrisy that come from the left. I DO NOT DEFEND HYPOCRISY FROM ANY GROUP. unlike you.
As to the way you describe the right to work state, you make it sound so altruistic and kosher, which again is wrong. You like to frame things as if the good ol' Conservative party comes in to the rescue.
Going back to your workers dilemma, if that part time employee could not afford to work in a unionized shop, then that employee should have went somewhere else to work. Ain't it funny how Conservatives drop this line on the workers all the time, but when the line no longer helps to make your argument you gravitate to its opposite like a bug to a zapper. Where is you total lack of compassion you show for the worker's blight? Oh, the poor worker had to pay union dues, but who cares about the poor worker who can't make ends meat.
I can't stand hypocrites.
That was my Job, for the summer. It was just to make some more money. I already had a full time job. Making more money paid off the car faster. As to Afford the JOB??? you got to be kidding.. Why should any one pay to have a job. All that money the unions took in and all that money they have wasted to buy political power that only helps the leaders on the unions. The unions could have setup their own heath care, or retirement with the billions that have taken in, They could have show this is the correct way to do thing, but no that is just a means to an end. Wither you call you self a communist or a fascist does not matter to me. You are the problem in america and in the world. Your Government system always fails in the end and always kills many when it is in power.
So it's true, you RW zombies just parrot the talking points you're told. Don't you ever question them? I mean when it's not a talking point to question, like turning on Bush, after the fact? And then blame the carnage he caused on Obama?
Hey, do you think Wisconsin will recall that rotten peace of shit Republicon gov that slithered into office when pouting Dems sat out the 2010 election?? Hey don't you have one, too?
Indiana Company Rejects Gov. Mitch Daniels’ Claim That It Added Jobs Due To ‘Right-To-Work’ Law
By Travis Waldron on Mar 15, 2012 at 6:30 pm
Indiana Republicans ignored protests from labor groups and even National Football League players this winter and became the 23rd state to adopt a so-called “right-to-work” law. Despite having no evidence that the anti-union legislation would create jobs, Republicans claimed it would, and Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) signed it into law.
Less than two months after he signed the bill, Daniels is already touting its success. Daniels claims more than 30 companies have asked about moving to Indiana, but so far he’s only named one, MBC Group, that added Indiana jobs. Unfortunately for Daniels, it seems he jumped the gun:
Indiana, of course, has tried “right-to-work” once before, passing a similar law in 1957. The law was so unpopular that voters demolished Republicans at the polls in 1958, and Democrats repealed it in 1965.
The law is again unpopular — 71 percent supported an effort to put it up to a referendum vote on the November ballot — likely because studies are again showing that it is bad for workers and won’t actually help Indiana create jobs.
Oh, and then he signed the "It's OK to Shoot Your Cop Law."
SEE PEOPLE: This is why you don't let these scumbag, America-hating, Cultist Republicons in your government!!! You Can't Fix Fascism!!! You Conquer it and try it for war crimes!!! Statute of limitations on the Bush-Cheney-GOP Fascists runs out in 2014!! There's still TIME!!!!

Let me enlighten you on the right to work law. Back in the early nineties. you could get a job at Kroger's part time and you did have the right NOT to join the UNION, but you still had to pay UNION FEE's as a part timer. THAT IS NOT FAIR. one should have the right to join a union or not, and if not then they should not be FORCE to still pay the union. You claim to be fair but all you want is controlling power. Also after a union formed a lot of the time they then force the company to never hire none-union employees. "Close shop for Unions Employees only contract" This is to protect the union monopoly.
It is also funny you claim that the right is about FASCISM, when it always comes from the LEFT Socialist groups. We have more FASCISM UNDER OBAMA then all the pass presidents combined.
Fascism is total government control, but you still have the right to own things, You just have to do what the Government tells you to do.
Communism is total government control, But it is a crime to own anything, You just have to do what the government tells you to do
Yes! I think the DNC should spend millions on ads about all 50! Especially health care, millions on the health care bill! Maybe people will get it this time!

That's right, the Affordable Care Act, while not the single-payer system that kicks Big Insurance out of the picture, still provides countless Americans who are already being helped by the law’s new benefits, protections and tax breaks.
One group of Americans who can look forward to the law being upheld is young adults and their parents. Historically, young Americans beginning their careers have struggled to afford health coverage, often putting off their dreams in order to take a job with health benefits.
To help these young people, the law allows many Americans under age 26 to stay on their parents’ health plans. Today, more than 2.5 million young people have already taken advantage of this benefit, giving them and their families peace of mind.
Another group of Americans who are counting on the law are the tens of millions of people now getting preventive care at no additional cost. In the past, far too many Americans went without critical cancer screenings and vaccinations because of unaffordable co-pays and deductibles, often at great risk to their health.
Now, many recommended preventive services are free for those with Medicare and private coverage. Last year, 32.5 million people with Medicare and up to 54 million Americans with private coverage got at least one free preventive service thanks to the law, a huge step forward for America’s health.
America’s small-business owners also have a lot at stake. Before the law, they paid an average of 18 percent more than their larger competitors for health coverage, sometimes forcing them to choose between providing health benefits to the employees they had and hiring new ones.
Under the law, many small-business owners are now getting tax credits to help bring those costs down. As one Montana small-business owner recently wrote: “The tax credit cut our costs by over $2,000. For a small business struggling to keep health coverage, that makes all the difference.”
The group that may have the most to gain from the health care law is America’s seniors. In addition to providing free preventive care, the law has saved 3.6 million Medicare beneficiaries with the highest prescription drug costs an average of $600 each as part of the gradual phasing out of the so-called donut hole.
And Medicare is stronger for all seniors, thanks to the law’s new protections against health care fraud. The results speak for themselves: Since 2009, health care fraud prosecutions are up 27 percent, and recoveries are up 58 percent to more than $4 billion last year.
Even those Americans who haven’t yet noticed major changes as a result of the law have a lot at stake. That’s because one of the law’s most important improvements is one that will benefit every American family: a health insurance market that’s no longer rigged in favor of big insurance companies.
Already, the law has strengthened oversight of premium hikes and established a Patient’s Bill of Rights that bans the worst abuses of the insurance industry, like canceling someone’s coverage when they get sick just because of a paperwork error.
And even bigger improvements will come in 2014 when new marketplaces will be established in every state for people and small businesses that buy their own health insurance. Plans will no longer be allowed to turn away people with pre-existing conditions. And there will be tax credits available to working families on a sliding scale to help ensure they can afford coverage.
The result will be that, for the first time in our history, all Americans will have access to affordable health coverage, even if they lose their job, change jobs, retire early or start a business.
This is a very different picture from the one conjured up by the law’s opponents before it passed. Instead of the economy crashing, more than 3 million new private-sector jobs have been created, with the health care sector leading the way. Instead of Medicare crumbling, many seniors have actually seen their premiums drop, even as they enjoy new benefits. Instead of health care providers rebelling, we’ve seen a surge of interest in the new opportunities the law gives doctors and nurses for improving care.
It’s not surprising that the law’s opponents, having lost in Congress and watched their policy case vanish, have taken to the courts to try to undo these new benefits and protections. We saw similar challenges to laws that created Social Security and established civil rights protections. Those challenges ultimately failed, and so will this one. And that’s great news for the American people.

It was a compromise with the radical right. A beginning. One that the powers that be and their sock puppet Republicons were "death-paneling" to non-existence. Do you not read? A beginning we have been waiting for a very long time with no, in fact retro, action being accomplished.
GET IT THROUGH your heads: perfection does not exist! BUILD!
This was actually my response to another post but it fits here as well...
What makes you think the government didn't get the exact bill they wanted? They will drive private insurers out of business giving them control of healthcare without the stupid expense of what you like to call single payer.
They will have complete control of the healthcare process and they will have millions upon millions of young people paying in who normally would have waited 20 years. Obamacare is a complete win win for government, more money and control of how and when you die.
You think of government as a good thing and they think of you as a profit center. Once you pass out of the earning class you are a liability and Obamacare is structured to help you to your final reward as quickly as is seemly. Heart/lung transplants will be a thing of the past (except for the elite), new medicines won't be developed because there is no incentive to develop them.
You really think the Democrats are really trying to get single payer for you? You're insane. Look at who has the golden medical care and big retirements and guaranteed job security, unions and government employees do. Maybe you are one of those two protected classes, maybe that's why you spend so much time trying to keep the wool over the eyes of your fellow lefties but if you aren't one of those two groups you are indeed a useful idiot for the political elite.
OUR government!
The Preamble sets out the origin, scope and purpose of the Constitution. Its origin and authority is in “We, the people of the United States”. This echoes the Declaration of Independence. “One people” dissolved their connection with another, and assumed among the powers of the earth, a sovereign nation-state. The scope of the Constitution is twofold. First, “to form a more perfect Union” than had previously existed in the “perpetual Union” of the Articles of Confederation. Second, to “secure the blessings of liberty”, which were to be enjoyed by not only the first generation, but for all who came after, “our posterity”.
This is an itemized social contract of democratic philosophy. It details how the more perfect union was to be carried out between the national government and the people. The people are to be provided (a) justice, (b) civil peace, (c) common defense, (d) those things of a general welfare that they could not provide themselves, and (e) freedom. A government of "liberty and union, now and forever", unfolds when “We” begin and establish this Constitution.
This guy points out the damage that those who hate democracy have inflicted on OUR government and attempts to alienate we the people from our government. When we the people allow democracy haters to get us to turn our back on our government, we allow our government to be used [by them] against us.

None of what you said changes the wrongs in the Obama administration. Bush sucked. I get it. The GOP sucks too. I also get that. But Bush and the GOP have nothing to do with Obama's full support of what I listed in my comment. Start telling Obama to get his act together instead of praising him like he's near perfect. You can vote for him and criticize him too. If you're going to vote for him do that at least. Obama's support for bogus laws like the patriot act and his war crimes are deplorable.
Look you dummy, and all you newbie ignoramuses, perfection does not exist. Everything is a compromise, every choice is evil and/or less evil, good or more good. No one, nothing is perfect.

Quinnipiac: Most Americans Want Obamacare Repealed
Friday, 24 Feb 2012 02:45 PM
A new poll by Quinnipiac University finds that most Americans, including independent voters, believe that the U.S. Supreme Court should strike down Obamacare.
The poll, released late Thursday, found that 50 percent of voters and 51 percent of independent voters want the high court to overturn President Obama’s controversial healthcare reform law. In contrast, only 39 percent of voters and 37 percent of independent voters do not want the high court to take action. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/quinnipiac-poll-repeal-obamacare/2012/02/24/id/430515
Feb 2012 - U-6 — includes total unemployed, discouraged workers and the marginally attached — plus part-time workers who say they would like to be working more, but for economic reasons could only find part-time work. It was 15.1 percent in January. http://factcheck.org/2012/02/whats-the-real-jobless-rate/
April 2010 (14 months after Stimulus was passed - The U.S. jobless rate rose to 9.9% in April, the first increase in three months, but the government’s broader measure of unemployment ticked up for the third month in a row, rising 0.2 percentage point to 17.1%. 22.0% (SGS) http://www.examiner.com/small-business-management-in-phoenix/real-unemployment-statistics-u3-9-9-u6-17-1-sgs-22

Racism doesn't help anyone. I know, I hate the trolls too. But don't stoop to their level.
Shove racism down their dirty racist throats.

Wake up!
Sure, shove it down their throats. But OWS doesn't support racism, and that extends to slurs like you used. Don't besmirch the movement.
WHO said OWS supports racism??? Aim your concern at real problems. Drop it.
We don't support racism. That is my point. Would you have said anything if I had used the "N"-word? I sure hope so. We need to be concise and eliminate as much as possible the potential for people to ignore what we are saying. Using racial slurs to get well-meaning and correct points across discounts the original intention of the message and allows people another route to attack us.
And yes, racism is a "real problem" in a Tea-Party driven country where the first black president has gotten ten times the death threats of his white predecessor.

Eliminated Osama bin laden: Even a blind hog finds a nut.
Won't even give him that? Now I know you are frothing at your mouth. You extremist moonbats are kind of funny in my opinion.
Ahhhh, I did give him that.
Fox Lies and Heritage Foundation BS!
The fraudulent vilification of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), a collection of community-based organizations in the United States that advocated for low- and moderate-income families by working on neighborhood safety, voter registration, health care, affordable housing, and other social issues. No rich people! Of course they were targeted. Pathetic and shameful.
This is what happens when the truth ceases to matter to the Reich. Notice Cons have no accomplishments to counter with, except their redistribution of wealth to the 1% and their outrageous sabotage of the will of the people edging into treason!! But they don't like to talk about that or their racism so much.

So you support protecting pimps who use underage illegal girls... nice.
The pertinent question is, where did you copy and paste this from?
I went through he list and addressed each "accomplishment" one by one.
Yes, I understand you found a list. I would like to know where you found it.
The list was linked to at the top of the page.... The post that started this thread.
OIC, You just mangled it so badly , as to render it unrecognizable.
I agree, some of the points are arguable, and have been on other threads, but there's no reason to turn it into a FLAKESnews "opinion program".
Can you find 50 positive things that Bush did?
So far, no one has found a one.
No, you had no idea what I was talking about. You had not even read the original posters referenced link, yet you posted an opinion on what I had to say without knowing what I was talking about.
I will let you watch your FLAKESnews "opinion program" to find out whatever you need to know to argue with people who post their opinions here, but I will do research and give you my opinion on what I see here.
As far as finding a list of 50 positive things that President Bush did, I would recommend consulting a website that is dedicated to the accomplishments of President Bush.
So you believe in the Easter Bunny? Dumb.

That whole Easter Bunny thing really was a impressive argument. I would argue that believing that government regulations, high taxation and taking money from those who have earned it, is more akin to believing in the Easter Bunny than asking you why you would support an agency that was found to offer help to someone posing as a pimp needing a loan to start a business operating a whorehouse using underage illegal immigrant gorls.
& I would argue: U have no idea about how OUR (the people's) government works.
U R reciting BS RW talking points and they have NO basis in reality.

Separation of church and state is just a polite way of saying KEEP YOUR CRAZY ASS BS TO YOURSELF!!
So there's that.
Thank you for that link. This is going to be the "on message" lie from here until the election - "There's no difference between Obama and the Republicans, so you might as well not vote."
They have used this lie pretty successfully against Democrats ever since they overthrew FDR's regulatory reforms and regained the power to purchase elections. So the Democtats HAD TO fundraise just to stay in the game. Then they say, "Look, the Democrats are just as corrupt."
The point is that we can influence the Democrats if we vote for them, simply by threatening to withdraw our vote. We have no influence over the Republicans at all. As soon as they win, if they do, we will cease to exist.
It's the playground-brat mentality all over the place, again! "He did it, too!!" Cheat and blame. How do people not see this? That's my question.
Hitler said that the bigger the lie is the more likely people are to believe it. He was an inspiration for these guys, and I'm not just saying that.
Propoganda has long established, tried and true techniques. The bigger the lie is, and the more often you repeat it the more likely the majority will simply accept it as true, even though they can SEE it's a lie. That's human psychology. Here is an interesting quote from Julius Caesar that relates indirectly to this strange human response:
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.
And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so.
How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
Operation Paperclip was not just about "mechanical" weapons.
Read Snow Falling on Cedars: "...war time frenzy..." Really nice comparison.
Pacifica Radio covered/revealed a few military plans for a Pearl Harbor type emergency for just such a Roman tactic.

Swindlers and swindled: Republicons.
Heck yeah! Obama 2012!
But remember, keeping Republicons out of the White House is just the beginning. That was the mistake Dems made in 2010. 30+ years of Con corruption and entrenchment can't be reversed in one term by one man. We could have made a lot more progress if Dems didn't pout and let all the crazy Cons take local, state and federal seats. Vigilance!

Yeah, he was only able to reverse some of the corruption.
We let him down, he thought we had his back, in 2010 when Dems didn't vote and let all those tea-bagging Cons into Gov resulting in obstruction, sabotage and the historic Tea-Party Downgrade by Standards and Poors.
He tried, really. But it was just too much. That and citizen's united and the Tea Party calling for more darned spending, and ended up causing the downgrade.
Cheers
If your Messiah is doing such great fucking things why's he now at 41%?
Uh yeah, don't you know you should dislike him because he's disliked?
Uh yeah,don't you know you will vote for him just because?
I'm voting for Rocky Anderson. There are legit reasons not to like Obama. Polls are not one of them.
"There are legit reasons not to like Obama"
I never said otherwise,however throwing away YOUR vote,in the most important election in our lives makes no sense. Please rethink this and vote Republican.
I've seen the Republican plans. Most make our debt worse, while cutting programs. And all but Paul are too eager to take away rights and go to war.
Obama is actually better than these Dbags. Roemer was the only R, I liked and the GOP won't give him a chance.
Authoritarian cult worship of wealth and power is a RepubliCON illness, not Dem. RayGun was your Messiah, even though he turned this country into a debtor nation from a creditor one. But you Wing Nuts don't even claim to make sense.
We believe in democracy, something you Con cult-worshipers despise, and thank Darwin that Obama won or we'd have Mama Grizzly and little senile man driving the country off a cliff, just like Bush 1 and 2 and Raygun did.
RepubliCON sabotage and MSM 1% ownership and bias poisons public perception. Fraud and lies don't bother you guys because you nuts believe scoring political points justifies any means to get them. But you crazed fools always over-reach, and when the public realizes again what democracy-hating scumbags you are you'll just have to blame yourselves.
Okay,thanks for the rant but you still didn't answer the question. I'm sure you can't though,that is,if you want to be honest about it.

Ha,that's great, apparently you think the public is going in and out of a realization of "democracy-hating scumbags"? How do explain that?
You have a very vivid and over active imagination,could be attributed to over medication or potential mental/personality disorders.
When you get some help,I'll ask you that question again maybe then you might be able to provide a rational answer (Obama will be history by then).
No, dummy, newbie Dems pouted in 2010 because 30+ years of Republicon regression, corruption and entrenchment wasn't reversed in less that 2 years.
I get it, there's no parroted talking points for you. Sorry, just original thought, that you have to read. Give up rightie, U R out of UR league.
