"has not accomplished much in his first year in office." No, not at all. Except for:
-Making the most progress toward health care reform than any president in the past,
-Making the rights of Native Americans and stronger tribal communities part of his agenda,
-Hiring a multi-ethnic and multi-disciplinary staff to advise him,
-Being the inspiration for gay rights in the military,
-Nominating the first Hispanic woman to the Supreme Court,
-Encouraging women to pursue their educational and career goals,
-Being a great role model for the next generation and encouraging kids to stay in school,
-Showing that he *gets it* by providing inspirational words such as "find someone to be successful for" and "if human rights are not protected, peace is a hollow concept" versus terms such as "axis of evil."
-Generating stimulus programs that make sense and with a long-term vision (e.g. cash for clunkers and education)
-And signing into law that women get equal wages and making it easier to sue for getting lower wages than men.
Yeah, he has nothing to do with all these initiatives that finally starts to equip America to get with the program.....

Funny, isn't it, how the Teabag Lunatic Fringe manages to pervade the so-called liberal media and continue to advance the falsehood that Obama is a do-nothing that has completely rent the fabric of our nation. In reality, he has accomplished much more than any president since Roosevelt. While I may not agree with every policy of his administration, I am greatly relieved that this man is in charge during this particularly trying time.
ReplyDeleteyup! Beautifully said. I also think it's ridiculous that a lot of critics have said that "his calmness worked for him during the race but is now a less desirable quality now that he is serving." Uh, so we want a president who's going to lose it in the face of adversity? Don't we tend to respond more constructively when we're calm? How is him yelling and using un-presidential language on camera gonna help anyone? Serenity now!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, what policies of his do you disagree with?
