Hope-y--Change-y
Half-term governor palin recently asked, "how's that hopey-changey thing
working out for ya?" Pretty damn well actually, in just one year President Obama... Passed Healthcare Reform (ending preexisting conditions, giving small business subsidies for providing insurance, closing the medicare donut hole in drug coverage, ensuring coverage for all kids uptill the age of 26, covering 32 million americans, expanding medicaid to cover the rest, all while cutting the national debt by a 100 billion dollars) - Check. Signed into law Tax Cuts for all middle income families, and 95% of all Americans - Check Signed an Arms control agreement with Russia to dismantle nuclear weapons - Check Reauthorized SCHIP to cover all Children - Check Saved the entire stock market from collapsing (from a low point of a dow of 6000 within a month of Obama taking office, to close to 11,000 just an year later, basically preventing millions of retirement accounts from getting wiped out) - Check Ended the ban on travel for people with HIV - Check Ended the automatic dismissal of any homosexual individuals serving in the military by the State Dept - Check Ended the federal crackdown on Medicinal Marijuana centers in CA - Check Passed into law Mortgage Fraud Protections - Check Ended the ban on Stem Cell Research - Check Passed Student Loan Reform, and Used The Savings to Significantly Increase Financial Aid Loans and Grants - Check Engaged in diplomatic dialogue with Middle Eastern countries, instead of using language like "Axis of Evil" that achieves nothing other than to **** them off some more. - Check Passed Credit Card Reform (Minimizing Predatory Lending, Making the terms of credit cards clear, eliminating arbitrary rate increases) - Check Since the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, have had the new job loss numbers from their peak right as Obama took office, go down steadily month after month, every single month like clockwork to the point that finally, this month is going to have job growth in the six figures (a trend expected to accelerate this whole year) - Check Reversed the ban on sending foreign aid to countries with legal abortions (The Mexico City Policy) - Check Signed the Expanded Hate Crimes Bill - Check Helped stem down employment discrimination by passing the Lilly Ledbetter Act - Check Extended Unemployment Benefit, helping millions of Americans stave off bankrupcy until the economy recovers - Check Drew down troops in Iraq for a 2011 withdrawl date - Check Drew down Gitmo detainees and making prepartations to close it by 2011 - Check Increased the forces in Afganistan and brought to justice 500+ major Al Queda senior leaders in the past year (more than the Bush Administration brought in all eight years combined) - Check Saved the entire US Auto Industry (GM and Chrysler) from going bankrupt thus preventing dozens of major factories and hundreds of dealerships from closing their doors - Check Saved banks from going bankrupt to the point that they're profitable again and have now paid back all of government loans and bailout funds in full and with interest - Check Signed into law, new mileage and emissions standard for cars and suvs - Check Working on Education Reform and Financial Regulatory Reform so banks can't pull this crap again - The very next thing on his list It's been a hell of a productive first year for him. He made good on more than 90% of what he promised while running for election. I can't think of many presidents who accomplish that much in eight years (especially on issues as big as healthcare reform). And that's just what I can remember. Do you guys have anything to add? If you don't think that list is impressive, here's a few dozen more accomplishments in his first year that I haven't even had the chance to read all the way thru... http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me.../promise-kept/ P.S: When exactly did posters of America's first Black President painted in Whiteface become socially acceptable? From KOS -- Conservatives - just pretend Obama's health care legislation is another unnecessary war and you'll feel better about it. |

In federal politics we usually have at least a dozen different parties running...not all in every part of the country..... and with various levels of voter support. http://www.elections.ca/content.asp?...textonly=false |

Shouldn't have said that, not knowing Canadian politics well. It is my impression that Canada is not split 50/50 on major issues, as we are here in the U.S. That is what I was thinking of when i used the word "unified." But that is just an "impression." 50/50 and the most vocal made up, apparently, of children. Anyway that's the way the most vocal of Dems/Reps have been acting. |

For a day there was going to be outrage at the way the Health Care Tax Takeover was passed. The dem leadership makes up an attack or two and the media and the yellowshirts follow along for two weeks and put the real issues off the table... Amazing, quite a vast left wing consiracy, or media blackouts and manipulation started with the original Billary.. Scotty -- For a great time, go here first... http://tinyurl.com/ygqxs5v |
