So, what has Obama done in a year?

[Patranus]

Anyone?

He spend a year pushing health care "reform" to only have it killed.

What is he going to say during his state of the union?

NPR.org I read today there is a tracker of over 500 promises he made and he's now met 91 of them. That said I think they are all minor as I am frankly having a hard time thinking of much he's done. A few days ago I read, i think, about some change to COBRA that he signed. Maybe I'm mistaken

Printed a bunch of money, bailed out his friends in big business and local government, alienated all of his supporters, save the die-hard hate mongering Democrats (many of whom are on this forum), sent 30,000 additional troops to be shot at by men living in caves, caused two Democrats to lose their governor's races and one Democrat to lose her senate race. Lets see, he also went on Jay Leno and took a $250,000.00 vacation to NYC on the taxpayer's dime while people were losing their jobs and standing in unemployment lines.

The reports of the death of health care reform have been highly exaggerated.

He's done quite a bit, but since I'm not convinced this thread was started in earnest I will end my post here.

We'll see about that. It looks like the plan B is now to push through an even more impotent bill and then it can be called health care reform but it won't be meaningful enough.

Please, tell me one major policy accomplishment he has had.

The beer summit?
The "stimulus" package where unemployment wasn't going to go above 8%???
Closing GITMO?

I think the chance of nothing happening are close to nothing. Granted, I'm not an expert, but I don't see how Democrats do not get completely trounced in 2010 if they do nothing with it. It certainly won't help them to not pass it.

Before I waste my time, do you want to have an honest discussion? If you've already made up your mind I'd rather not bother.

He was 1st to lose the Olympics.

[Budmantom]

He had an uninterrupted Christmas vacation.

 

[Dari]

Nothing...

 

[Patranus]

So no one had an idea of what accomplishments he will talk about in his state of the union.

Why no just cancel it?

 

[Budmantom]

He took some nice pics with air force one.

I'm looking forward to that.

Oh, I almost forgot - he's improved his golf handicap.

Obama is presiding over the greatest wealth transfer in human history. 4 trillion so far we are joint and several liable for going mainly to his buddies on K-street. Obama is continuing almost all of Bush war policy - including surges and retaining his Defense secretary. Obama did some stimulus but most going to favored billionaire contractors and don't even talk about CFC costing over $35,000 per vehicle better to have just bought people cars at $20,000 ea. He even vacations like Bush - all-the-time.

So Obama is going to take an hour talking about the "Credit Card Bill of Rights"?

Keeping a promise like the "stimulus" and having it turn out to be a disaster (like the "stimulus") are two differnt things.

Are you on crack? Bill is dead. Accept it.

Instead of insulting me, why not post a major policy that Obama successfully pushed in his first year in office?

I think Obama means well, but the forces of the dark side are strong. Hope you republirats are proud of yourself, stop and maybe think, in your partisan zeal, you are cutting your own throats and hurting the country also.
