President Obama's accomplishments...

and don't forget conservatives would refer to her as a man but I think that was just wishful thinking.

Frazier Glenn Cross, the former KKK grand dragon accused of killing three people outside a Jewish community center and a retirement community in Kansas City, Kansas, was once busted with a black transvestite prostitute, according to a new report.

REPORT: Man Accused In Jewish Center Shootings Arrested With Black Transvestite Prostitute | The Huffington Post

The continuing hypocrisy of the right is almost comical if it were not so sad. A very limited Neanderthal political intellect confined to the singular concept of: "Obama...bad. Trump...good".
 
President Obama's accomplishments...

Positive accomplishments. Things he and his supporters can look back on and say "I/he did that. :thumbs:"

1) Affordable Care Act
2) Approving the killing of bin Laden
3) aaaaand... :shrug:

Elevating the racial tension to levels above and beyond anything in living memory.
 
1) Affordable Care Act
Uh...depends on who you ask. I know a lot of low-income people who give this the giant middle finger.

2) Approving the killing of bin Laden
I have never, nor will I ever give Obama "credit" for this. Any sitting president would have given the approval. Unless Obama himself rappelled down from the Black Hawk and pulled the trigger himself, he gets zero credit. That credit goes to the armed forces.

3) aaaaand... :shrug:
3) Increasing racial divide.
4) Least transparent administration of all time.
5) Fast & Furious scandal.
6) Allowing the IRS to target conservatives.
7) The Veterans' Administration scandal.
8) Benghazi.
 
Yes, it couldn't be race. How unrealistic for me to suggest such a thing. I will take the yapping "left" over the hypocrisy of the "right" any day of the week.

I cant help but chuckle when the conservatives go "nuts" when current FLOTUS gets unflattering comments about her plagiarism and thick accent. Yet, these same folks though it funny that former FLOTUS was referred to as "an ape in heels".

You certainly sound just like the "yapping left". I don't deny the hypocrisy that can occur on the right but there's plenty of hypocrisy on the left (though I seriously doubt you capable of acknowledging it), as well, and calling out hypocrisy on one side while letting it slide on your side is hypocritical

Now, let's see if I can predict your response. You're going to say that you're really not on any side, all while posting right down the Dem party line.

Glad you were able to acknowledge a "little" hypocrisy on the "right".............lol
 
Only one is that he won a second term.
another one I can think of is that he gave up cigarettes & that is an accomplishment.
 
Exactly. I hope Trump starts being a uniter instead of a divider.

Agreed.

There's two parts to that.

One is a willing leader who wants to unite the country. The other is a majority of the electorate that wants to, and is allowed to be united.

At present, I believe that we have a very loud minority injecting hyperventilated bile, excessive and ludicrous levels hyperbole and hysteria into public discourse that prevents any sort of positive movement to any sort of unification.
 
Not a whole lot that I liked. For the most part he just continued the bad practices of Bush. But there were a few good things.

-ACA. Deeply flawed but an improvement from what we had before.
-Sure, approving the raid to get Obama. That was a high risk mission with the potential for some serious political fallout. We conducted a military raid inside an ally's borders without their permission. Gutsy.
-Getting rid of DADT. I was in the military at the time and saw the trouble DADT caused.
-I can now legally carry a sidearm when hiking around national parks.
-Banned torture
-Banned members of the Executive branch from accepting lobbyist gifts.
-extended federal benefits to same-sex couples
-eliminated federal funding for abstinence only sex Ed.
-began normalizing relations with Cuba.
-expanded size and funding of our National Parks
-and while he didn't remove marijuana from the schedule 1 list, he at least allowed the states to regulate themselves on the matter. So like the ACA, flawed but better than before. He also freed thousands of non-violent drug offenders.

That is about all I can come up with.

Er uh X, thank you for assuring us that hypocrisy exists on both sides. However it greatly helps with any discussion if you could furnish an example. Watch how I do it

The right supported stimulus before President Obama then didn’t
The right supported mandates before President Obama then didn’t
The right supported the Iraq invastion 100% and the Libya coalition 0%
The right foamed at the mouth about debt and deficits during Obama. Now, not so much.
The right praised the stock market before and after President Obama. During, not so much.
The right railed about cost of Presidential vacations. Now, not at all.
The right whined about Presidents acting Presidential. Now not at all.

X, you have to understand, as a democrat, I'm not constantly lied to and whipped into a frenzy of fear and hate.
