Obama Accomplishments

A L O H A !

"The facts are always friendly, 

every bit of evidence one can acquire, 

in any area,

leads one that much closer

to what is true.  "

Carl Rogers

" This is one of those cases

in which the imagination

is baffled by the facts.  "
 

Adam Smith 

" I am a firm believer in the people.

If given the truth, 

they can be depended upon

to meet any national crisis.

The great point

is to bring them the real facts.  "

Abraham Lincoln  

" Facts 

are stubborn things.  "

Ronald Reagan

" For a nation that is afraid

to let its people judge the truth

and falsehood 

in an open market

is a nation that is afraid

of its people.  "

John F. Kennedy

"A little bird told me"

In two years our President has:

1. Averted a scary, world-wide economic melt down

that started before he entered office.

Most reputable economists agree this is a fact,

and that his leadership was key.

2. Saved the US banking, auto, and insurance industries

and all the jobs associated with them

at minimal cost to tax payers.

GM is selling tons of cars in China today!

3. Overhauled the US health system

in a way that CBO says will:

increase access to healthcare

while reigning in costs.

This has been an unsolvable problem

for decades.

Young adults starting out

can now stay on their parents' insurance

for a few years longer.

4. Killed Osama Ben Lame.

Make no mistake,

if the mission had failed,

the President's critics would ride it

every DAY!

5. Imposed tough new rules of the road

on the financial industry.

Credit card companies 

can no longer raise your rates

without 90 day notice.

And they have to show you how long

it would take to pay them off

at 'minimum payments'

AND what you actually pay them in

plain English.

6. He has the overwhelming respect

of our allies.

7.  He ended "Don't ask - don't tell."

Bringing our excellent military

into this century,

and aligning our policy

with our best allies.

8. Made respect & care of military families

HIS family's priority.

He pays his respects

to the fallen and their families

OFF camera.

9. Honorably wrapping up two wars

that he did not start.

10.  He did all this while facing

unprecedented personal attacks,

much economic fear in this nation

and in the world, and

unreasoning partisanship

that would like to see him,

our President-

and all of us along with him-

FAIL.

Let's discuss facts,

like the steady rise

of children in poverty

in this nation.

There is much to be done.

If you cannot help,

at least stop slinging mud

on those doing their best

for US !

Please let us know what YOU think in comments-

" -we're hardwired

not to always think clearly

when we're scared.

And the country's scared.  "
