Barack Obama's Accomplishments A Comprehensive list

[use2slam2]

one of the ONLY times i actually liked Chris Mathews lol. he made that Obama supporter look like a complete FOOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[techgeek212]

whoever made this video is an idiot. I didn't see a comprehensive list you moron. Obama hasn't accomished anythit as senator, and he was mostly absent.

[gellion1]

fuck obama

[mrtrevor416]

SOCIALISM!!!!!YAH, HERE WE COME!!

[kenmister123]

Obama is just going to screw this country from inside out

[deeluve22]

Obama sponsered a shitload of bills, many that have pass. Does that count for nothing?

Now, I'm not making a statement, purely asking a question:

The video says that Obama has 1 bill that became major law, correct? Now, they insinuate that is bad. So, what's good? Compared to other Senators, how does Obama's record for major bills stack up to others? If Senators usually pass 0-3 bills that become major law per 4 year term, then only 1 doesn't sound as bad as the video makes it out to be.

[oopsmybad707]

Sponsoring doesn't mean shit i can sponsor something LoL!!!... Obama is waist of space... He got peoples attention with speech then when it came down to it the supporters are like damn what did he do stupid dumb fucks.... Oh thanks to him we are going to be in more debt because of the stupid stimulus package

[narutothe4thson]

anyone can sponsor a bill man. the fact that he's worthless just destroys everything

[RomeoWhiskeyNovember]

I'm sure it is good to other Senators, so you're not entirely wrong, but here's where you are wrong. And it's a pretty simple concept and I hope it doesn't clear your head. (Although you are an Obama supporter so it probably will).

He is running for the President of the United States of America, he should have a lot of accomplishments.

For black people, he does: graduating first grade. Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eigth, being alive by thirteen.

[Moonchild711]

They weren't running for president. Obama is a liberal/socialist hack. A puppet. You should see that by now. Just look at the Czars he's got surrounding him. They are liberal revolutionaries w/ power. You should be afraid. If you're for socialism, then whip out your checkbooks folks and distribute your wealth.

[yosoydame]

can you name his bills then? idk them.

[AnimalPlanetSFC7]

and yes, i realize Obama won, blah blah, that doesnt mean i have to like him.

[AnimalPlanetSFC7]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA this is GREAT 5 STARS.

[MozALoser]

Obama = disaster... on many levels.

[ballajd]

Do you know;

The Global Poverty Act is a bill sponsored by presidential candidate Barack Obama. The legislation would mandate the United States to spend 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, equaling about $845 billion in additional aid over the next 13 years. And dont forget, The GPA also will require us to sign the UN's millenium declaration; which means America will have to ban small arms! Meaning private gun ownership

[TiqueO6]

The republicans have made a low-art out of blocking democratic legislation for years now.

They've been especially intent since 2006.

It's actually disgusting.

[DTansy]

Republicans "block" Democrap paperwork

jokingly refered to as "legislation" because

it ALWAYS includes the GIMMEE's. MORE

welfare for the terminally LAZY, More TAXES

for those STUPID enough to WORK, more loot

for their cronies and bedbuddies, and a more

thorough SCREWING for EVERYBODY in the U.S!

Jackasses, indeed!

[TiqueO6]

January 11, 2007

WASHINGTON President Bush today signed the Lugar-Obama proliferation and threat reduction initiative into law.

Authored by U.S. Sens. Dick Lugar (R-IN) and Barack Obama (D-IL), the Lugar-Obama initiative expands U.S. cooperation to destroy conventional weapons. It also expands the State Department's ability to detect and interdict weapons and materials of mass destruction.

How do you like them apples or would you rather have the loose nukes?

[sporatica1]

Tique: How does this bill help his Illinois constituents? Things are pretty bad in Chicago. And, I'm not sure what destroying conventional weapons has to do with loose nukes. I really don't think it's a good idea for us to start destroying our weapons while we're at war on two different fronts. But, I gotta give the guy credit, two years campaigning and he worked on getting one bill passed.

Too bad we can't all finish only one task every two years and still get a full salary.

[TiqueO6]

Did you misunderstand or misread?

Lugar/Obama"also expands the State Department's ability to detect and interdict weapons and materials of mass destruction."

Also, some other work he's done:

the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, Dignified Treatment of Wounded Warriors Act, which passed in July of 2007.

Also,no Democrat,has been able to do a lot that meets the accomplishment benchmark of "passed legislation" in a time of record-setting Republican obstructionism.

[lodidodi69]

If Obama wins then keep your friends close....and your NIGGER BEATER CLOSER!!!!

[reconredneck]

Wow! Quite a list of accomplishments.. I can see why so many people are voting for this man.. It all comes down to complete and total ignorance of the issues and the job requirements for a potential president. It's a sad day in America! Public Schools have doomed us all!

[mredstriumph]

Ok, sure... he's useless. But hey? What's not to like?

/watch?v=kRGru2CPC4E

[mredstriumph]

Check THIS out... it's AMAZING. Watch it and then go to Obama's "fight the smears" website.

/watch?v=S8QcpdUtxNQ

[lunchbag08]

its funny how many excuses are being made for obama. Can anyone here name me another accomplishment? and no inspirational is not one lol....He is worthless

[sinistar99]

In the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written approximately 890 bills and co-sponsored an additional 1096.

Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act.(This is the first federal legislation to be enacted with Obama as its primary sponsor) Became law

Secure Fence Act. Authorized construction of fencing and other security improvements along the United StatesMexico border

Became law.

THIS AD IS A LIE.

[krighton77]

so he was a senator for 2 years...been campaigning for 20 months...hrm...so when did he have time to write 890 bills......

[sinistar99]

He can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time too. It's not that hard to figure out. But these are matters of public record we don't have to guess how or why.

[sinistar99]

So in a Republican controlled senate with a Republican president --then a small Democratic majority with a Republican minority that filibustered more times than any other in history and a president that vetoes EVERYTHING the Democrats do manage to work across the isles and pass he passed 1 thing? I'd say that's a massive accomplishment! And this is a massively deceptive retarded commercial.

[sporatica1]

I have never heard as many excuses made for anybody's actions, inactions, or lack thereof, than I have heard being made for Barack Obama.

Amazing. Barack Obama has had the pleasure of a Democratically controlled Congress. They've been in control for two years. That's about as long as Obama's been there.

[sinistar99]

What inactions? He voted twice as many times as McCain. It's not really "Democratically controlled" unless they have 60 votes. Republicans can kill any bill just by saying "I filibuster," and they've done it these past two years more than any other minority in congress EVER. You can't judge his accomplishments by what got past that and what George Bush decided not to veto. This commercial is ridiculous.

[sporatica1]

sinistar99, at least decisions were made. I may not agree with all the decisions, but Congress shouldn't have waived their duty to their constituents and played "Pontius Pilot" by wiping their hands and assigning their Constitutionally assigned JOB to declare war to the President. I suggest you write your Representatives on that one.

There's a huge difference between making mistakes safeguarding America and an ILLINOIS Senator drafting legislation for the CONGO. How does that represent Illinois?

[Chashunka]

Sporatica, you've never heard as many excuses for anybody's actions than you've heard for Obama? So your ears have been waxed for the last eight years? Never heard the constantly newly adapted reasons for going into Iraq, sacrificing thousands of American (and tens of thousands innocent Iraqi) lives after having declared "mission accomplished"? Never heard the excuses for Abu Grahib, wire tapping, and ruining the financial markets while making Bush, Cheney, and Halliburton even richer? Come on!

[sporatica1]

Can you cite any of these sources? How many republican filibusters? How many of Obama's bills were vetoed by the President?

[sinistar99]

Ah don't know how to use Google do you? Just type GOP filibusters. There have been 72 in the first year --more than 2 whole terms when Dems were in the minority. More than any congress in 1 session ever.

[sporatica1]

sinistar99, it's not my job to verify or cite your sources. but, for clarification, I 'll make this easy for you. Name ONE bill drafted solely by Barack Obama that was vetoed by the President. Just one.

Please include the SB #, draft date, and date of veto in your reply.

[kaumeheiwa]

For the vast majority of people who live in america (who are all middle and lower class) have you ever questioned yourself.... how will mccain being president personally help me? hmmm..... isn't that a great question. He has so many great ideas for rich people and companies but take a good look at things. Are you rich? Or do you own a company? Most likey you are not rich and do not own a company and will not benefit from anyting. How about families that have their loved ones in war? Still there.

[kaumeheiwa]

By the way why does accomplishments matter? Do you need to have a lot of accomplishmets in order to be a great president? No, you don't. There are so many people that are voting for him because of his views and his views are what matter. Not his accomplishments. Why does it matter that mccain stayed with his troop when they got caught? Do you honestly think that, that incedent will make him a better president? That shows that he has a heart. What about his views?

[kaumeheiwa]

No matter what your opinions may be who ever will be president will be and it doesn't even matter on who you vote for. People will die because america loves war and loves to butt into other countries business yet they can't even take care of our people. We need a change no matter where it comes from but it needs to happen soon.

[sporatica1]

Historically speaking, the human species loves war. And I agree, we should butt out of other countries business... Just as soon as they take their hands out of our pockets. We'd have a lot more resources and capital to take care of our own people if we didn't spend trillions in foreign aid.

[kaumeheiwa]

exactly wht i mean they butt into others buisness. However, we will never be able to take care of our own country because we are billions and billions of dollars in debt to china. soon china will be america. war is not the answer. and this is the time for change.

[sexyassjewel]

I ALREADY voted -THAT ONE. EArly voting in Arizona

[foxilocks2007]

All experience is not created equal. So all the experience McPalin will bring will lead to further death, disappointment, debt and despair.

I'm voting for --->THAT one, Barack Obama.

[CPLGonzo]

The way i see things is, if Barack Obama Wins, we'll have an inexperienced person as our president, and if McCain wins, we're looking at 10+ years of continuous war, we're screwed regardless.

[OBAMAISGREAT]

Obama is still better than McCain. Name me a Palin accomplishment other than killing Bullwinkle and a Bridge to Nowhere. What are McCain's accomplishments? Tax breaks for oil companies and lobbyists. What a congressman. McCain only accomplishment is that he got captured and put in a bamboo cage by Viet Cong. Give me a break! Grow up racists and get over it Barack will become President! Vote Obama08!

[donnie1221]

That's pretty funny that you mention racism considering this famous guy I heard once said Typical White Person about his own grandmother. A poll I saw just last week didn't indicate any racism either when it showed white people voting 36% Obama 52% McCain and then black people voting 96% Obama 4% McCain... interesting to see no racism at all there huh?

[deeluve22]

How many times is it going to be pointed out to people like you. Black people have been voting largely Democrat for at least the 20 years!!!

You get that, right? Clinton, Gore, Kerry. All won the black vote by large margains. And all of them white. If you can't see that, then you're drinking some kool-aid yourself.

[yosoydame]

haven't got to it yet, but When Africans were first free'd from slavery, they voted republicans cause thats who free'd them. i'll get back to you on why they voted democrat when i find out x.x [reading textbooks]

[DTansy]

Palin was MAYOR, not "community organizer"

Palin was GOVERNOR of the LARGEST state in

the U.S.

She cleaned up corruption and has an 84% approval rating in Alaska.

Democraps DON'T like her because she has a

SPINE.

FIVE percent of American Taxpayers (the

RICH) PAY 60% of all income tax collected.

The wealthy STILL pay more in taxes when tax

rates fall. Period.

[AnimalPlanetSFC7]

i totally agree.

to Obama supporters:

YOU CANNOT PROVE OBAMA IS GOOD BY PROVING MCCAIN/PALIN ARE BAD.

AGAIN:

PAY ATTENTION:

SIMPLY PROVING MCCAIN/PALIN WOULD BE A BAD TICKET, DOES *NOT* PROVE OBAMA IS THE AWNSER, or EVEN PROVE THAT HE IS ANY BETTER.

SUPPORTERS:

STOP talking about what Obama is NOT.

START talking about what he IS, and what he TRULEY STANDS FOR. AND HIS POLITICAL RECORD.

[DRockyMtn]

Actually, there are two. The other is that he managed to fool his entire party into thinking he was their most worthy candidate. More and more are catching on to his act (finally), and "America's chickens are coming home to roost" (quote from the great Rev Wright). Hence, droves have made the switch to McCain/Palin! Game over Obama - it was nice knowing you! After your 30 electoral vote loss, go back to your birthplace (Kenya) and give your half-brother a much needed helping hand.

[CledusTJuddfan]

lol....so true

[ncthoops]

I love it!!!

[grodenbarg]

Don't forget his one other accomplishment. Being a HUGE LIAR to the world!! ROTFL!!
