The only real complaint I have with Pres. Obama is his handling of the NSA. It feels like we’re living in an Orwellian society where everything about all of us is being looked at by the Govt. We’re all treated like a potential terrorist when we go thru airports. There needs to be a way to enforce security without violating our civil liberties as Americans.
Lied about Gitmo. Murders innocent people with drones. Allows Orwell’s “1984” to continue unabated. Did not put Cheney/Bush on trial for war crimes. Did not put a single major Bankster in jail. Did not create jobs needed for the American people. Owned by corporate interests; bought before he ran for Senate. Appointed Bush idiots to his administration. Created a better way for insurance companies to rip-off Americans for healthcare. Pushing the TPP to destroy America’s economy to help global corporations. The list could go on and on. Obama has done little but continue the Cheney/Bush disaster. Cheney is the worst president America has had. Obama is working on being the next worst. I leave out Bush because he was on vacation most of the time. Of course, hard to dismiss that the Bush family is one of America’s leading crime families. Oh, yes, hello NSA reader.
This isn’t even a toon, it’s a propagandist poster by a shill for Obama. I’m sure Morin also gets a “tingle up his leg” or maybe something stiffer, when he thinks about Barry, but he should really wake up and realize why Barry has a 37% approval rating.
I have a list of Obama administration accomplishments that goes to 4 1/2 pages in 10 point font. But, what the Republicans wanted him to accomplish was a total screwup that would assure them returning to the White House in 2014. So, in their eyes, he has failed miserably.
It’s propaganda — except that everything stated in the cartoon is factually true. (Once you’re outside the Fox News bubble, of course, where his birth certificate is still in doubt.)
“President Obama has been getting a lot of grief in the last few weeks over his pledge that with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in place, people would be able to keep their insurance if they like it. The media have been filled with stories about people across the country who are having their insurance policies terminated, ostensibly because they did not meet the requirements of the ACA. While this has led many to say that Obama was lying, there is much less here than meets the eye.First, it is important to note that the ACA grand-fathered all the individual policies that were in place at the time the law was enacted. This means that the plans in effect at the time that President Obama was pushing the bill could still be offered even if they did not meet all the standards laid out in the ACA.The plans being terminated because they don’t meet the minimal standards were all plans that insurers introduced after the passage of the ACA. Insurers introduced these plans knowing that they would not meet the standards that would come into effect in 2014. Insurers may not have informed their clients at the time they sold these plans that they would not be available after 2014 because they had designed a plan that did not comply with the ACA.However if the insurers didn’t tell their clients that the new plans would only be available for a short period of time, the blame would seem to rest with the insurance companies, not the ACA. After all, President Obama did not promise people that he would keep insurers from developing new plans that will not comply with the provisions of the ACA.”http://www.salon.com/2013/11/15/no_obama_didnt_lie_to_you_about_your_health_care_plan_partner/
W’s accomplishments, broke the economy and it went down in 08 and continued with his ’09 budget, killed hundreds of thousands of “brown people”(civilians) to get even for “daddy”, increased our disabled veteran rolls and filled a full section at Arlington, but he increased the profits for the “One Percenters” and the the MIC, “good job, Dumbya”!
Anybody can save an industry if you are willing to pump enough money into it. The trick is to do it without costing the taxpayers money. Unfortunately Obama blew it big time.
According to conservative economists, it became a terrible recession because Obama failed to take proper action to fix the problem. Actually, Obama’s actions caused the recession to be much worse.
Obama has enslaved more women and minorities, pushing them into an equal, but poverty stricken position. I would much rather have minor inequality with everybody prospering.
The only part of the cartoon that was truthful was the last picture. The rest of them resort to mis-truths, out right lies, or ignorance of the facts. The cartoonist must be a diehard liberal. You can’t get truth from a liberal.

Yep, Obama has certainly amassed a “record of failure”, especially considering the enormous cooperation he’s received from the Republiclans.
Never could figure out what George W. had against peace and prosperity.

That’s the nice thing about retrospect, Jim Morin. Selective memory nearly always supports one’s preconceived biases.

Maybe you should read the post by Bruce. Btw he beat me to it and I’m sure his post could’ve gone on for hours with the failures of this prez.

Obama took a dysfunctional health care system and broke it. Now it is much worse for practically everybody.

Budget deficit cut in half? You must have learned some kind of unusual Democrat math. In truthful language the deficit is growing at a nightmare pace.

Obama cannot repeal anything. All he can do is ignore the Constitution and hope the Republicans lack the backbone to stop his illegal activity.

It was no thanks to Obama that Bin Laden was removed. Obama just happened to be the President when Bush’s war on terrorism policies became fruitful.
