Argument
Yes, he is.
Obama has done much better than the last 4 Republican Presidents combined, so YES, he is doing a Decent Job.
FAUX "News" lies and talking points aside, Obama has:
1. Passed Health Care Reform.
2. Passed the Stimulus which has produced nearly 7 MILLION Private-Sector Jobs.
3: Passed the Wall Street Reform after its practices caused the 'Great Recession.'
4: Ended the War in Iraq, last troops pulled out December 18th, 2011.
5: Killed Osama. (In before "HE only gave the Command, he didn't PERSONALLY do ANYTHING!1")
6: Prevented the Collapse of our Auto Industry. ($16B from Bush and $62B from Obama) Created 200,000+ jobs, and the 3 biggest of the Automakers have ALL gained Market Share for the first time in 2 decades.
7: Repealed 'Dont Ask, Don't Tell'.
8: Reversed Bush Torture Policies.
9: Separated Banks from the Student Federal Loan and expanded Student Pell Grant funding.
10: Helped Veterans (Of which I am one) by offering Tax Credits to any Business who hires any Veteran, thus increasing chances of Vets getting Jobs.
11. Tightened Sanctions on Iran. In an effort to deter Iran’s nuclear program, signed Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act (2010) to punish firms and individuals who aid Iran’s petroleum sector.
12: Eliminated Catch-22 in Pay Equality Laws. Passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which gives Women the right to sue their Employers if they find out their being paid less because of Discrimination.
13: Improved Food Safety System. In 2011, signed FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, which boosts the Food and Drug Administration’s budget by $1.4 billion and expands its regulatory responsibilities to include increasing number of food inspections, issuing direct food recalls, and reviewing the current food safety practices of countries importing products into America.
14: Expanded Health Coverage for Children. Using ONLY the Tax Increase on Tobacco Products, the Children's Health Insurance Authorization Act will provide Insurance for 4 Million more Children.
15: Expanded Stem Cell Research. In 2009, eliminated the Bush-era restrictions on embryonic stem cell research, which shows promise in treating spinal injuries, among many other areas.
I could go on and on, but the point is- The only possible way you can say Obama has done nothing, or is a shitty President, is if you're one of the following: Racist, Republican, Rich, Misogynist, Homophobic, Illogical, Selfish, Don't care about Child Health/Educational standards, the Financial Stability of the US or if you're just ignorant to all the FACTS in general. (REAL Facts, not 'Fox Facts' which are entirely different than what we in the Normal World would refer to as 'Truthful and Honest')
Rant over, let the Ad Hominem and Straw Man Fallacy Tactics commence.
1. He forced its not a choice you have to get health care or get fine which is against the Constitution.
2.Lmao i did not create that many jobs look it up!!
3. He put us in the Recession bush spent 3tril in two term with a war going on thats 8years Obama spent 4tril in one term 1<==
4. The troop have not pull out in fact we sent an additional 30,000 troops!
6.This is not true the would not have collapse the would have gone to bankruptcy not the same instead we use your tax paying dollar to bail the out
8. He enhanced the torture this is known because of a whistle blower in gonetonimal bay which was label a traitor!!
OK this is what gonna make us go into world war 3 to much info to explain but putting sanctions on iran is going to be the biggest mistake we ever make Russia and china have iran back if we go to war look at this video you moron and god help us all

2: Yes, he did. "Look it up."
3: LMAO..I hope you're joking..Honestly. Bush put us in the Recession..How can Obama be the cause of a Recession, if it started before he took Office? Use your Brain Cells. Bush Polices put us in the Recession, and the debt increased CUMULATIVELY by over $7 Trillion Dollars under Bush. And by "Under Bush" I don't mean only when he was in office..When he was in office he raised the debt by exactly $4.9 Tril. BUT, BUSH POLICIES costed us an additional $3 TRIL under Obama.
Bush Policies include: Iraq + Afghanistan Wars. Paid for under Obama. Defense Spending. Bush Tax Cuts. Non-defense Discretionary Spending, TARP, Bailouts, Stimulus, and others. Don't even attempt to blame Obama for all of the problems we're in, because 90% of it was Bush.
... And its clearly fooled you too.
1. "Passed Health Care Reform" ... So he got a piece of paper signed. Big whoop. The implementation of the new system was so poorly executed that the functionality of the website/process is still flawed and had to be pushed back multiple times. Many of the "promises" he made regarding the new health care system failed to hold true, such as that the average houshold will see a reduction in annual healthcare payments by 2200 dollars, when in reality about 80 percent of households saw significant INCREASES in annual payments. The usage of the new healthcare system is significantly impacting the small business sector very negatively, which is why he allowed small business to delay signing up for a year because the simple mathematics behind the increase in employee coverage will force significant cuts of employee hours or the firing of employees all together. AND FINALLY alot of the 20 million or so ppl he claimed to have gotten coverage were actually ppl who had coverage before BUT were forced to cancel their previous clans due to significant billing increases, loss of primary/preferred physician, etc... They were not all people who had recieved coverage for the first time.
So sorry about it, your arguement fails there
3. "Passed Wall Street Reforms..." yea, he passed a bill which effectively did nothing and allowed the big investment firms to skirt by the law and the shady business practices they used, which caused the market to crash. Instead, he put our country into significant debt by bailing out the banks and investors who, in reality, should've gone to jail... Not been given a handout (on a side note, obama has been the biggest hand out supporter of any president, with more ppl on welfare and food stamps of any president... Yea, some leader... Promoting the laziness of the American ppl)
8. "Reduced bush torture policies" ... What evidence do you have of this? Were you in Guantanamo Bay? Doubt it. If anything, he has only shown proof that he's abusing the power of the Patriot Act more than ever... With incidences such as the NSA keeping record of every message we've ever sent. If he's allowing such abuse of constitutional freedom on his own citizens, why would you think he's done anything to uphold the constitutional right of terrorists? Makes no sense. Sorry.
3. "Ended war in Iraq. Pulled out all troops..." ...There are still troops in Iraq. What are you smoking? Please hook me up with some of it
I could keep tearing thru this but you see my point. Essentially, your list doesn't really show anything except that he's put a pen to a document and signed it. If it had no practical application or had adverse effects (which is true in many of these cases), then who cares whether he signed it or not... Obama is about as useful as used toilet paper. Get his penis out of your mouth and maybe you'll be able to think a little more clearly
A letter to Obama regarding not backing France! (Too bad I didn't write it!)
