If those are the "top 50" accomplishments I would hate to see the list of his failures...(I just hope Mt. Rushmore has room for another face)

OK, we know it's propoganda, but why would the Washington Monthly list the death of the space shuttle and moon landing as accomplishments?

We put those evil space explorers in their place!

Improved food safety ?

Like pink slim.

There are some I agree with, such as ending the war in Iraq, stem cell research, killing Bin Laden. Well, that's about it. I tried.

Well I'm glad the war in Iraq is over. I'm sure those good folks will honor our sacrifice of trillions of dollars and thousands of soldiers by setting aside their sectarian differences and living in a veritable utopia of peace and harmony. Anyone else need some democracy delivered?

It's still hard to fathom that nigger in the White House - but sheesh, they did put Insane McCain running against him so.....

Washington Monthly's "Obama Top 50 Accomplishments" list..

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/mag...all&print=true

1. Passed Health Care Reform (Which is ill-fated and un-Constitutional)

2. Passed the Stimulus (Which raised our deficit to astronomical levels)

3. Passed Wall Street Reform (Which didn't keep OWS from forming)

4. Ended the War in Iraq (Good)

5. Began Drawdown of War in Afghanistan (Which is good, but could be better)

6. Eliminated Osama bin laden (Fine)

7. Turned Around U.S. Auto Industry (Which now builds shoddily-made cars that nobody wants to buy)

8. Recapitalized Banks

9. Repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (Don't care either way)

10. Toppled Moammar Gaddafi (Whose country we should not have been in at all)

11. Told Mubarak to Go

12. Reversed Bush Torture Policies (Good)

13. Improved America’s Image Abroad (HOW?)

14. Kicked Banks Out of Federal Student Loan Program, Expanded Pell Grant Spending (Most college students don't even deserve to further their education, because they waste it on partying and cheap thrills)

15. Created Race to the Top (I'm assuming this means minorities get the upper hand and Whites get the shaft)

16. Boosted Fuel Efficiency Standards (But did nothing to lower gas prices)

17. Coordinated International Response to Financial Crisis

18. Passed Mini Stimuli (Shit)

19. Began Asia “Pivot”

20. Increased Support for Veterans (Fuck veterans)

21. Tightened Sanctions on Iran (BS)

22. Created Conditions to Begin Closing Dirtiest Power Plants (Yet, he focuses on saving crappy solar plants)

23. Passed Credit Card Reforms

24. Eliminated Catch-22 in Pay Equality Laws

25. Protected Two Liberal Seats on the U.S. Supreme Court (Liberals don't belong on the Supreme Court)

26. Improved Food Safety System (Pink slime and feathers in my chicken)

27. Achieved New START Treaty

28. Expanded National Service

29. Expanded Wilderness and Watershed Protection

30. Gave the FDA Power to Regulate Tobacco (Which I agree with, since tobacco is unfit for human consumption)

31. Pushed Federal Agencies to Be Green Leaders (Green energy is shit)

32. Passed Fair Sentencing Act

33. Trimmed and Reoriented Missile Defense

34. Began Post-Post-9/11 Military Builddown

35. Let Space Shuttle Die and Killed Planned Moon Mission (Don't care)

36. Invested Heavily in Renewable Technology (Waste of money)

37. Crafting Next-Generation School Tests (Which probably makes it easier for niggers to understand)

38. Cracked Down on Bad For-Profit Colleges

39. Improved School Nutrition (By forcing kids to eat stuff they don't want)

40. Expanded Hate Crimes Protections (Which means black-on-white crime is not a "hate crime")

41. Avoided Scandal (But hopefully won't avoid impeachment)

42. Brokered Agreement for Speedy Compensation to Victims of Gulf Oil Spill

43. Created Recovery.gov

44. Pushed Broadband Coverage (Broadband isn't perfect)

45. Expanded Health Coverage for Children

46. Recognized the Dangers of Carbon Dioxide (People knew how dangerous it was for years)

47. Expanded Stem Cell Research

48. Provided Payment to Wronged Minority Farmers (Bullshit)

49. Helped South Sudan Declare Independence (Fuck Apefrica)

50. Killed the F-22

Very few real accomplishments and a whole lot of failures. I give Obama's performance an F+ (the closest thing to a D-)

49. Helped South Sudan Declare Independence

50. Killed the F-22

Some positive, some neutral, mostly negative and very little that concerns my personal existence on a daily basis or impacts my life in any meaningful way. Which is fine, because I don't depend on career politicians to enrich my life and absent some astronomically unlikely dictatorial seizure of power, can't hinder it without my consent.

Credit where it is due, the positives
Killed the F-22
Ended the War in Iraq
Began Draw down of War in Afghanistan
Expanded National Service (it's voluntary)
Trimmed and Reoriented Missile Defense
Expanded Stem Cell Research (untied the hands of private research)

Busy work for corporate welfare whores. If they want to build and design high tech super fighters let them pay for their own R&D, risk their own capital and compete in open bids with other defense contractors. Subsidizing defense contractors is the worse kind of welfare.
