In late 2008, food was rotting on docks because grocers could not find a credit line to purchase them. Some of you may not know that. By 2009, unemployment would cross 10 percent. Most of you know that..
The rate of uninsured was at an all-time high, and housing starts weren't starting. Flash forward to present day-we are nearing full employment, production, home values are rising, and more people have access to health care than ever. In any sane country, with sane people not led by a leash by the latest fly-by-night sophist, the President who presided over a national resurrection would have an approval rating in the 70s. Minimum.
Let's take a look-IOWA The job Barack Obama is doing as president: Approve 40% Disapprove 52% (NBC News/Marist Poll, 8/26 - 9/2)
NEW HAMPSHIRE The job Barack Obama is doing as president: Approve 42% Disapprove 52% (NBC News/Marist Poll, 8/26 - 9/2)
National-about mid-40s.
Fuck off.
Let's look at a few of President Obama's greatest hits.
Just a taste! - Obamacare-yes it will be a good thing
Lily Ledbetter Act
Leading on equality
Saving economy from complete destruction.
Numerous executive orders applying to housing fairness.
Ended wars
Got OBL.
Student debt assistance-in fact the website above lists 308 different outright wins that directly benefit the American people. Has he been perfect? No. Should we be disappointed? Depends on your perspective. The man to me, has been easily the greatest President of my lifetime and is equaled only by FDR for modern Presidents. History will show how great he truly was, and someday, when crotchety racist white people move on, our country will too.
But there is simply no rational explanation for why in this era he is so unappreciated. Wait-maybe there is! Maybe the fact that when this black Democrat showed some courage and took real stands on real issues and held real feet to fires his own party members ran for the hills had an effect. Maybe when the Alison Grimes of the world, the Natalie Tennants of the world, outright campaigned against him that created a problem.
Maybe an entire party owes a great leader a full apology-and it is NOT the Republicans.
NOW!!!!! GO READ THE NEXT 300 PLUS Obama ACHIEVEMENTS!
40 fucking percent in Iowa? 42 fucking percent in New Hampshire?
You people got a President you didn't deserve-
After the ONE you did. And you are still too stupid to tell the difference.
Losers will find a way to lay blame. That would be all that you have done since Obama was President in 2009. And you're still doing IT while accusing others of doing IT, IN YOUR OWN DARN POST I'M RESPONDING to! .. .. .have another beer bubba..and try finding your marbles again.
