Political thread number 3897.

I'm sure most have reasons for liking or disliking the current administration.

As like most Oklahomans I'm from a strict republican family, yet I married a woman who's from the other side of the fence. So I do get to hear it from both directions.


Can anyone name something that the current POTUS has done that they are happy with?

i'm glad he golfs so much. that's time he could be spending signing bills into law, or writing up anti-freedom executive orders.

Um, no. Maybe if I had me one of them free Obama Phones I might. And I still have to worry about putting gas in my cars and paying my mortage so no, I can't think of anything. And he didn't kill Bin Laden. A bunch of bad ass Navy SEALS did.

He's not Bush?

Be glad when 2016 gets here and we have some new choices.

He has accelerated the rate at which the Executive Branch usurps the power of the other branches via extensive use of executive orders.
He has placed people in powerful positions that prove to be corrupt and anti-Constitutional.
He has divided the Congress with his pretentious attitude toward the middle class.

I realize that these things are bad, but the faster things get REALLY BAD, the sooner they can be fixed.

I'm happy that he decided (whether through skill or lack thereof) to NOT renegotiate the terms of the Iraq withdrawal that Bush set in place before he left office.

I'm not happy that the media and most sheeple give Obama the credit for withdrawing troops from Iraq.

 

[TwoForFlinching]

I like his ending of the pre-existin condition clause, and keeping kids on insurance until 27.

That's about it thus far. Maybe he'll pass a little more decent legislation in his next four years.

This is true and is the reason I may not vote for Romney. We just need to start over as soon as we can.

 

[Glocktogo]

He's like all the bad presidents rolled into one, on speed. The acceleration of our downhill slide is truly astounding. I'm ready to hit the reset button at this point. I have zero faith that Romney will correct the course.

Well, if I remember right, he did bestow a couple of Congressional Medals of Honor.

Oh....wait.....

.....Everyone but him took the action to cause the medals to be awarded. All he did is make a speech (probably using a teleprompter) and drape the medal on the deserving recipient.

What scares me is that he spoke to the Russian premier to tell Putin that he (Obama) would have "more flexibility" after he was re-elected. Meaning that he wouldn't have to worry about being re-elected if he won a second term.

As for those that say they won't vote for Romney, you will be giving your vote to Obama whether you mark his name or not.
