B+ that Obama gave himself doesn't strike me as arrogant or smug... why answer rhetorical questions anyway? Strange rules you play by, Kemba... as if written on shredded paper.

What was rhetorical? I notice you still decline to give your own "honest" assessment.

I would give Barack Obama a solid "B." ,,,as if you "honestly" were interested.

Care to list three great accomplishments that the Obama administration made in its first year that warrants such a solid grade? I tried to think of one but I came up empty. Surely, a solid Obama supporter can rattle off three Obama milestones.

We avoided a depression. A healthcare bill made it through House and Senate. When he showed up in other countries, he wasn't George Bush. That you came up empty is because you're a partisan. Surely a solid Homer can acknowledge that.

:lmao:

1. Prove that Obama's borrow and spend policies prevented a depression. You cannot.

2. Is getting two separate bills approved by a House and Senate heavily controlled by Democrats and then running into a wall when those hundreds of Democrats could not resolve their differences and deliver a bill to the president's desk a "great accomplishment?" What would an abject failure look like to you?

3. What tangible foreign policy triumphs resulted from Obama's apologies to our enemies and allies for mistakes that he believes his predecessor made? How is that Israeli-Palestinian peace process going these days? Are the Iranians closer or further away from producing their first nuke? Is the Korean peninsula more stale after a year of Obama's appeasement?

Not being George W. Bush is not an accomplishment. I certainly would not give Bush an A or a B. I would give him a C- or D+ myself and I have often criticized him on these forums. Yet you call me a partisan! You are a real hoot!

(I am a conservative partisan but I do not worship any American politician.)

The Brown election was a referendum on Obama's policy and Obama needs to listen to the message. Massachusetts gave Obama a failing grade and the rest of the country will soon follow if Obama does not start getting things done that the American people want to have done. First and foremost, he needs to take steps to unleash capitalism to create jobs in this country.

See, that wasn't so hard. I dont agree with that, but's all you had to do. Isn't that a whole lot easier than going through the never ending pile of mumbo jumbo you produce trying to work around giving a legible sounding answer to anything?

Avoided a resession? What makes you think that? And times are now better? Try telling someone living in the coal fields that (unlike yourself) actually rely on legitamate sources of income how good the times are. Convince them we are not in a recession.

Well, do tell how those bills made it through the House and the Senate. Tell how the American taxpayer had to buy the city of New Orleans, and then purchase the entire state of Nebraska to get a democrat to even go along with it. Dont even bring up that "makin sausage" garbage, because that doesn't cut the mustard. Any bill that is worth it's weight (as you infer) does not require the hard salesmanship that the socialist regime tried to shove down our throats. You once made mention that the actions that transpired showed Obama's leadership abilities.In the real world those people that do those things wind up in the federal pen after facing bribary convictions.


And those other countries are not mocking of our Commander in Chief as we speak? Here's a little link showing how Bin Laden was swayed into burying the hatchet with the United States.

You might notice this is not one of those pesky off the wall Fox News reports. This comes from one of those respectable and legitimate news sources that you tend to believe as being gospel reporting.:eyeroll: Just wanted to point that out. Sure sounds like Obama's humiliating his own country sure turned the tide in his favor while dealing with the Muslim world of terrorism, huh?

[Old School]

Adolph Hitler conceived of the mass murder of 6 million people, sunk millions upon millions of mothers to grief, all while sipping tea and looking over the mountains with Miss Eva. All such comparisons to Barack Obama make any appeal you guys make about "we oppose Obama's policies; we're not racists" sound empty...an insistence upon digging the very ground out from underneath your own feet.

I warned you that some would find it offensive, I also said it was a parody
(parody - a piece of writing or music that deliberately copies another work in a comic or satirical way). The producers of this parody have also produced dozens of others, lampooning Obama, Palin, Hitler, Star Trek, Batman (no pun intended) and others using the same footage. Do you find the other parodies as offensive as Obama's?

Two seprate healthcare bills made it through the house and senate. The House with 257 dems. and 178 reps. barely passed their version of the healtcare plan which required 218 votes. The Senate with 60 dems. could not pass the house version which required 60 votes. As Mr. Kimbill said, they had to buy Louisiana's and Nebraska's vote before the healthcare bill would be passed by the senate.

Remember when Obama was touting his experience at running a large campaign as his executive experience as a response to charges that he had no such experience? If the election had been held in 2009, that would have been his only major accomplishment.

So now Obama has one year of executive experience as a totally ineffective president who has squandered all of his political capital along with trillions of dollar's of the people's money. To use a football analogy, the first quarter is history and Obama has failed to score with no defense on the field. :biggrin:

:Thumbs: Sorry Hoot, I didn't see your post before I made my last post.

I think as fragile as our economy is now any small bump in the road could send it sprialing toward a depression. It will be years before we can say we avoided a deppression.

You are absolutely right, Old School. With the official unemployment rate remaining above 10 percent and the actual rate in the 17 to 18 percent range - and Obama spending money like a drunken sailor as he raises the debt limit through the roof; a double-dip recession, hyperinflation, and a second Great Depression all remain real dangers.
