Well I can tackle another right now....Is passing Obamacare really an accomplishment when 70% of the country does not want it?Insurance premiums have risen over $2000 since it was passed and we were told premiums would DECREASE.I would think that would be more of a failure.
 
yeah until you need it right?

If you refer to it as Obamacare most don't like it. If you refer to the individual items one by one the people overwhelmingly support it. Negative propaganda against Obamacare worked for the conservatives to get people to hate something they actually like.
 
Overall it's a pretty good list, although there are some points I would dispute. For example, #5 is "began drawdown of war in Afghanistan." That may be technically true, but Obama's progress on this has been quite underwhelming. He was the one who made the foolish decision to surge in the first place.

Obama took the credit because Obama did the work. Signing an agreement obligating someone else to do the work isn't really that hard.

The people who got rebate checks last month are probably liking the AHA more. People who get to stay on their parents insurance while attending college probably like it. People who have pre-existing conditons probably like it now.
 
46. Recognized the Dangers of Carbon Dioxide: In 2009, EPA declared carbon dioxide a pollutant, allowing the agency to regulate its production.

Not since original sin has any organization attempted to control normal life.

Why isn't he? All we hear so far is that Romney didn't pay taxes, he killed some dude's old lady and we are going to put black folks back in chains.

Who among us needs for medical costs to be much higher, and much less affordable? Certainly not me.

Me either...don't get me started on medical costs. Ask me how much a hospital room in PICU costs for 24 hours. Freaking scary stuff.
 
Some of these "accomplishments" are only accomplishments if you consider blatantly violating the Constitution and hurting the country accomplishments.

X-Box has achievements like these sometimes, but you don't get any points for them. It's usually like, die 50 times on the first level, "You suck" unlocked, 0 achievement points. Congratulations!

He's the one that made the foolish decision to not listen to the commanders on the ground and pulled all the teeth from the offensive making ineffective.
 
.....alot of those "accomplishments" aren't...or else Obama wasn't the lead on pushing for them.
 
It's fun watching cons blame Obama for everything under the sun, but then pick apart a list of accomplishments and say he wasn't the "lead" or wasn't really "responsible" for it.

Ya can't have it both ways. If cons pick apart the list of accomplishments and "decide" what he was or was not the "lead" or "responsible for" cons have to do the same with the faults, and vice-versa. Unless of course cons are acting like hypocrites which might very well be.
