raphael111: WHERES LITTLE bush? he started two wars and no plan to pay for em but cut taxes for high income.
America is threatened by an "unholy axis":"We must exercise responsibility not just at home, but around the world. On the eve of a new century, we have the power and the duty to build a new era of peace and security.
We must combat an unholy axis of new threats from terrorists, international criminals, and drug traffickers. These 21st century predators feed on technology and the free flow of information... And they will be all the more lethal if weapons of mass destruction fall into their hands.
Together, we must confront the new hazards of chemical and biological weapons and the outlaw states, terrorists, and organized criminals seeking to acquire them. Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade and much of his nation's wealth not on providing for the Iraqi people but on developing nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them."

raphael111: WHERES LITTLE bush? he started two wars and no plan to pay for em but cut taxes for high income.
"The hard fact is that so long as Saddam remains in power, he threatens the well-being of his people, the peace of his region, the security of the world.The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a new Iraqi government -- a government ready to live in peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the rights of its people."

"People can quarrel with whether we should have more troops in Afghanistan or internationalize Iraq or whatever, but it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons."Former President Clinton
During an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live"
July 22, 2003
"Iraq is a long way from Ohio, but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."

ooby_dooby: That is patently false and if you look at this list you will see exactly what Obama HAS done.
And he did all this while being opposed by Republicans whos primary goal was to make him fail at every last thing he tried to do no matter how beneficial it was to the American people. The Republicans first allegence is to the Republican party second to their own wealth and a distant third to the American people.

I took a long look at that list you posted. In fact, I printed it out and have been reviewing it over coffee. You probably were hoping you could just post it and everyone would assume it was all good and not give it a second thought - but you should know me better than that by now.
It's LAUGHABLE what these people have listed as Obama accomplishments.
"Established the White House Office of Urban Affairs"... another useless government agency
provided $20 billion increase for food stamps..which we wouldn't need if people had jobs and which is filled with fraud
Ordered EPA to begin regulating and measuring carbon emissions.... WE have be doing this for years and years and years. I know because I was involved in this back in 2002 when the EPA did the last emissions standards.
Through his EPA, he asserted federal legal supremacy and barred Texas from authorizing new refinery permits on it's own.... And you think this is a GOOD thing? LOL
Conducted a cyberspace policy review... Woo Woo.. Impressive
"Took steps to strengthen middle class families" Really? How??? By bankrupting them?? We have 21 new Obama taxes coming in less than two months - 12 of them directly affecting the middle class.
"Announced a huge increase in average fuel efficiency standards" Oh yeah... $$$$$$$$$$$$
"Nominated Sonia Sotomayor and Elana Kagen to the supreme court" Seriously? And he thinks this is an accomplishment?
"Appointed the most diverse Caminet in history" NINETEEN of which are known socialists or communists and more than half are crazy as bed bugs... (not kidding, I've seen their bios)
Seriously, Obby...What I said to you in my post was that Obama failed to deliver on all of his biggest promises, and he did fail.

These are just the biggest and most blatant campaign promises that Obama broke.
Cut the Deficit in Half: Shortly after taking office, Obama vowed to cut an inherited deficit in half by the end of his first term.
Fix the Economy: Regardless of when the country’s economic problems started, the president also vowed during his campaign to fix the economy in three years. Fourteen months later, he said missing the deadline would make his presidency a “one-term proposition.”
The U.S. unemployment rate has remained above 8 percent for more than three years, despite the president's economic adviser predicting one month into the administration that the president’s roughly $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act would keep unemployment below 8 percent and reduce it to about 6 percent by this year.
“By any measure, the president’s approach has failed,” Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said in a recent op-ed for the Tri-Parish Times.
Close Guantanamo Bay: Obama has also so far been unable to shutter the Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba, though this is more of a concern for Obama's base than Republicans.
Televise Health Care Debate: Obama also said repeatedly in his run for the White House – in TV ads, on the campaign trail and in at least one debate – that the negotiations on his health care reform plan would be televised, if he were elected. However, final health care talks, including the meetings between House and Senate conferees, were held behind closed doors and republican leaders were SHUT OUT of talks while big pharma and insurance companies were allowed in.
Increase Transparency: By hiding lobbyyists in coffee shops? Cutting back-room deals to get Obamacare shoved through? Concealing the records on "Fast and Furious?" Please... someone show us this transparency!
This list goes on and on...

Another HUGE broken promise...
Introduce a comprehensive immigration reform bill by the end of his first year in office
“The American people need us to put an end to the petty partisanship that passes for politics in Washington. And they need us to enact comprehensive immigration reform once and for all. We can’t wait 20 years from now to do it. We can’t wait 10 years from now to do it. We need to do it by the end of my first term as President of the United States of America. And I will make it a top priority in my first year as president,” Obama said during a speech to the League of United Latin American Citizens in 2008.
The Reality: Obama said immigration reform would be a top priority, but by the end of the first year no comprehensive bill supported by Obama had been introduced in Congress.

No Super PACs
While running for president in 2008, then Senator Barack Obama, in all his fresh-faced, dark haired enthusiasm, pledges that a vote for him means a vote for a candidate who won’t be swayed by the influence of special interests and Super PACs.
"If you choose change, you will have a nominee who doesn't take a dime from Washington lobbyists and PACs,” Obama said in a campaign speech in Denver, Colorado.
Just four years later, faced with another election, now president Obama has second thoughts about those same special interests and Super PACs. He still doesn’t like them, but he’s going to use them, only because everyone else is.

WASHINGTON -- A critical document from President Barack Obama's free trade negotiations with eight Pacific nations was leaked online early Wednesday morning, revealing that the administration intends to bestow radical new political powers upon multinational corporations, contradicting prior promises.
The leaked document has been posted on the website of Citizens Trade Campaign, a long-time critic of the administration's trade objectives. The new leak follows substantial controversy surrounding the secrecy of the talks, in which some members of Congress have complained they are not being given the same access to trade documents that corporate officials receive.
"The outrageous stuff in this leaked text may well be why U.S. trade officials have been so extremely secretive about these past two years of negotiations," said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch in a written statement.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has been so incensed by the lack of access as to introduce legislation requiring further disclosure. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has gone so far as to leak a separate document from the talks on his website. Other Senators are considering writing a letter to Ron Kirk, the top trade negotiator under Obama, demanding more disclosure.

New polls: Obama now holding leads in Florida, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin
With the election right around the corner, newpolls released show President Obamastarting to inch ahead of his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney.
As a disappointing October comes to an end,President Obama hopes that new momentum can carry him to a second term. New pollsreleased this weekend show President Obama holding a slight national lead, and holding or regaining leads in key swing states. The newReuters/Ipsos poll released Sunday shows the president with a narrow national advantage, leading the former CEO of Bain Capital by two points, 47 to 45 percent. A newMinneapolis Star-Tribune poll has Mitt Romney trailing President Obama by three points in Minnesota, down 47 to 44 percent, with ten electoral votes on the line.
Public Policy Polling released two new pollsfrom Florida and New Hampshire, each showing President Obama with a small, but important lead. With the Sunshine State of Florida seeming like a lock for Mitt Romney, the new PPP poll now puts President Obama in the lead by one point. The lead is nothing to celebrate, but considering Romney had a lead as much as seven points in Florida over the last two weeks, the president and his campaign have to be happy at the swing in momentum. In New Hampshire, the PPP has President Obama up by two points over Mitt Romney, a three-point reversal from the previous week when Romney held a one point advantage.
According to a new Washington Post poll, President Obama is leading Mitt Romney by four points in Virginia eclipsing the important 50 percent threshold, holding on to a 51 to 47 percent advantage. The PPP poll has President Obama matching his exact Virginia numbers in Ohio, leading Mitt Romney 51 to 47 percent.
The election is coming down to the wire, and as both candidates continue to push their message, it's almost as important where the message gets delivered as it is what the message is. Mitt Romney saw his best stretch of the election following the first presidential debate, but after two bounce back performances by the president, Romney's "debate bounce" has stalled and the race is back to reality.Nate Silver of the New York Times and the 538 blog give President Obama a 74.6 percent chance of winning the election, carrying 296.6 electoral votes compared to 241.4 for Mitt Romney. While all eyes are on presidential polls, there's only number that really matters - 270 electoral votes and who gets there first.

YAWN.... Sorry Bush has been out of office for almost 4 YEARS! So quit blaming BUSH... most liberal hacks will blame ANYONE who ISNT in charge. As for the wars, Bush didnt start it, He had to have CONGRESS APPROVAL! and yes Obama was one WHO, if i remember correctly ALSO Approved of it. The question I have for you is, would you rather FIGHT terrorists over there, OR over here? real simple answer. You can not answer the question with neither, if you think it is a feasible answer, you really dont care about FIGHTING for freedom.
