So he does the same things as Bush does!!!
Under Bush we lost jobs per month, around 500,000 per month in the final months of his Presidency
Under Obama, we have hit the minimum performance threshold of creating 200,000 jobs a month
Under Bush more that 15 million people did not have basic health insurance with health cost inflation of 12% per year.
Under Obama somewhere around 9 million of those have basic health insurance with health cost inflation of 4.5% per year.
Under Bush, we had US fighting wars on two fronts with increased involvement
Under Obama, he kept his campaign promise of war disengagement and no war engagement if it did "not harm" US interests.
Under Bush, energy production was neglected and the focus was oil imports
Under Obama, we are close to becoming self sufficient in our energy needs, auto standards have been raised to 40mpg or better.
We could go on with a long list. But there is one thing I am not happy about and that is NSA spying. He has taken some steps to protect our privacy by having the phone companies own the DBs. But I would like to see NSA policies changed when general bugging of phone and data would be strictly prohibited and enforced.
With regards to the racial aspect, no matter who says what, there are bunch of racists in Congress, who probably voted them in along with voting for Obama. They would not have received their votes if the voters knew about their racial tendencies. But it is common knowledge that part of the opposition stems from his being an African American and also for remarks like "...make him a one term President", "...he is not an American but a Kenyan." Why should I be ashamed when things like these of being a Kenyan etc. is alive and thriving in the fascist blogsphere. |
