I need the list of things Obama has done since elected

5. Enjoy your stay at DU

Welcome to DU.

It's a simple choice.

Would you rather spend 3 TRILLION on foreign wars of occupation to make Iraq and Afghanistan a happy place for Iraqis and Afghans, or would you rather spend that 3 TRILLION on Americans?

'Cause that's your choice. Personally, I chose Americans.

8. It's not an issue to me.

It's not an issue to me. Whenever we need to fund a war, or bail out a bank, or auto industry, or insurance company, there's always plenty of money for that. But if we want health care, or Social Security, or help with foreclosures, anything else for the common man, it's always "so sorry". So I'm voting for the guy most likely to help out the average joe.

9. Our spending priorities are shit

However, at a certain point in time, that debt is going to kill us.

4. He signed a lot of bills to correct Bush's mistakes.

I don't know how anyone could have the idea that Obama has been sitting on his ass doing nothing. He has worked day and night getting us out of the war in Iraq, turning around the economy, creating jobs. Is that not enough? Your mom is in a state of denial and I will bet that you will not be able to change her mind.

6. I have changed her mind before.

What I'm looking for is the big list people have posted here 3 or four times (that I have seen) of all the accomplishments he has made since he got elected.

I've basically alienated my parents since I started voting Democratic. But I love rubbing their noses in it. :)

11. Here

Edited on Fri Oct-23-09 08:21 PM by Deja Q

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/

Overall very good, but:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/promise/21/require-automatic-enrollment-in-401k-plans/

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/promise/508/allow-penalty-free-hardship-withdrawals-from-retir/

Those two are saddening to have read, but the latter might be due to needing the money to pay back Bushie's budget of bust...
