>> KIlling Osama instead of just yapping about "smoking him out from his foxhole" as Bush did
Right. Which any president would have done had the opportunity presented. Bush did what he could to find him, but I also think Bush had a better perspective, which is that bin Laden is not a problem if he is rendered powerless, which is what Bush did.
>> Not using "MIssion Accomplished" or flying in with bomber jackets.
Okay, well that's not much of an accomplishment.
>> Obamacare where he shut the hell up of the opposition after 8 million folks signed up
Obamacare is a disaster. The 8 million was a lie which is the reason they conveniently STOPPED reporting the numbers once they announced it. The cost is unaffordable, and more people report they've been HARMED by the legislation than helped by it. THAT is not an accomplishment, by any reasonable metric.
>> Economic recovery from a point that the US has never been to before
Oh, that's just silly. First because we've seen it before, and second because Obama impeded, not helped economic recovery. There is no recovery. We have a lower labor force participation rate than the country has seen in 40 years, and after nearly six years the unemployment rate is still well above where it should be. And he wasted a trillion dollars in "stimulus" with political payoffs.
>> And now Benghazi:
It is too early to know the facts, but it is fascinating that they catch this one guy and it undoes, in your mind, the deaths of four Americans which should never have occurred to begin with. It undoes the lying and stonewalling. And the Left will, over the next few days, dutifully announce that this puts the Benghazi incident to rest forever. Not so fast.
You see the point here though, right? These are not "accomplishments". Every president in my lifetime -- including Carter -- had more accomplishments to his credit. Every one of them.
It should not be a surprise. Obama had no accomplishments to his credit when he ran. I'm not sure why anyone would have expected more of him. I certainly didn't, although I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until he started really screwing up.
Add to all of this the lawlessness and the permanent damage done to the Constitution, which is his biggest failure of all. |
