How I felt when Obama used the Not Bad meme that I made last year. : reactiongifs

Is that good enough for ya?

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 7 days ago*

You copy pasted that ridiculous "what has he done website." Which should tell you something, that it has to exists in the first place.

I don't know why, but I'll waste the time rebutting some of the egregious bullshit.

saved the American auto industry

Really? http://investmentwatchblog.com/govt-motors-cars-already-falling-apart-chevy-cruze-loses-steering-wheel-video/

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=GM+Income+Statement&annual

brought insurance to 40 million uninsured children,

Really? 40 million was the total number of uninsured people in the entire country before Obama care. They were not children, you dishonest fuck. Further, 22 million of the 40 million were the "untouchables" those in there late 20's and early 30's who could afford insurance but choose not to invest.

openly endorses same sex marriage

No he didn't, he said his views were evolving so he could pander for votes.

improved veteran services

How?

reduced taxes on small business,

I own one, that's not true. Plus Obamacare adds $3200 in taxes for me, according to the Supreme Court, that IS a tax.

improved border security,

This is bold face lie. How did he do that? He just signed an executive order making it harder to send illegals home, and his justice department is refusing to cooperate with local law enforcement.

cut taxes on the middle class

According to the supreme court he raised them by $3000 per family.

passed hate crime legislation

That one that just almost put a guy in jail because he left bacon in central park for birds? That's what we need more zero tolerance laws.

passed the Iran Sanctions Act

Clearly that's working well, aren't they about to bomb a country with a nuke?

Just kidding about the drones, Patriot Act, drug war, SOPA, and NDAA though!

Most of these are just stupid.

I'm not gonna spend anymore time refuting the rest.

All of this came with above 8% unemployment, 15% real unemployment, a budget that didn't get 1 vote in either chamber, and 6 Trillion dollar price tag, and blaming everyone else the entire time.

His time is over as president, he's been an absolute failure.

So your first link about the auto industry isn't about profitability, but bad cars? How is that Obama's fault?

Your link to yahoo for GM, shows...they made a profit?

Really? 40 million was the total number of uninsured people in the entire country before Obama care. They were not children, you dishonest fuck.

I got the number wrong, doesn't make me dishonest. However, you calling me a fuck does make you a bit douchey.

No he didn't, he said his views were evolving so he could pander for votes.

Noooo.... He said he supports it.

How?

Increased funding by 1.4 Billion, Signed the Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act, oversaw a $4.6 Billion increase for Veterans mental health.

I own one, that's not true.

He gave you a tax break to help cover Obamacare.

This is bold face lie.

No it isn't. You seem to be a little angry about the Dream Act where we let people who lived here their whole life and had no choice in coming here but not be citizens actually be citizens

According to the supreme court he raised them by $3000 per family.

Lol, whut?.

That one that just almost put a guy in jail because he left bacon in central park for birds? That's what we need more zero tolerance laws.

What the hell are you actually talking about? I'm talking about the Matthew Sheppard Act.

Clearly that's working well, aren't they about to bomb a country with a nuke?

Lol, wut? You talking about Israel saying they want to?

Most of these are just stupid.

Most of these are what Presidents do every single day. You know...legislate and lead?

All of this came with above 8% unemployment, 15% real unemployment, a budget that didn't get 1 vote in either chamber, and 6 Trillion dollar price tag.

Unemployment is down 2%, real unemployment is down 2%, and are you talking about the budget that was forced to the floor by Republicans in an unfinished and unamended state, so the Democrats voted against it on political principle? Do you not know how politics works?

You sound very, very mad that you have to pay a slight increase to make sure that everyone has health care, don't like what he has done for you and don't see a larger picture, and yourself seem to have a tendency to lie and obfuscate while yelling at others.

You mad bro.

So your first link about the auto industry isn't about profitability, but bad cars? How is that Obama's fault?

I worked in the auto industry at that time. Part of the deal was that GM would have to make more fuel efficient cars. Not only did that make them more expensive, they had to stop making 17 of there 22 profitable cars to meet a "line efficiency."

Your link to yahoo for GM, shows...they made a profit?

Oh wow... no. You shouldn't go to business school.

Noooo.... He said he supports it.

Not at all suspicious that he's up for reelection soon, and no he did not say I will write the legislation.

Lol, whut?.

http://www.factcheck.org/2012/06/how-much-is-the-obamacare-tax/

Unemployment is down 2%, real unemployment is down 2%, and are you talking about the budget that was forced to the floor by Republicans in an unfinished and unamended state, so the Democrats voted against it on political principle? Do you not know how politics works?

What the fuck are you talking about? Unemployment is NOT down, it went up to 8.3 last month. What is wrong with you?... and real unemployment is at like 15%, and some estimates put it at 22%.

forced to the floor by Republicans in an unfinished and unamended state.

No I'm talking about the presidents budget that has received zero votes for 3 straight years.

99-0

Do you not know how politics works?

The irony... it's to much

You sound very, very mad that you have to pay a slight increase to make sure that everyone has health care,

How the fuck is $3000 for every family and business a "small increase"?

But they are making a profit? What's the problem here?

Oh wow... no. You shouldn't go to business school.

So, suddenly this year because the European Market is struggling Obama didn't get them out of bankruptcy?

Not at all suspicious that he's up for reelection soon.

yes, the gay vote is so totally going to swing Ohio. but hey, whatever.

What the fuck are you talking about? Unemployment is NOT down, it went up to 8.3 last month. What is wrong with you?

Unemployment has been trending down for months. A recent trend upward, is not a catastrophe, it is a natural fluctuation. When an airplane hits a bump, does it mean its falling out of they sky? No, it hit a bump.

No I'm talking about the presidents budget that has received zero votes for 3 straight years.

Wrong.

Look, we could keep this going, but you are going to keep presenting half-truths to support your claims.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 7 days ago

They lost 20 million last year. Those parentheses mean negative.

This is why people vote for Obama... complete idiots.

Wrong.

No dumb ass, that budget got zero votes in the senate and zero votes in the house. The citation you provided blatantly says that.

Unemployment has been trending down for months. A recent trend upward, is not a catastrophe, it is a natural fluctuation. When an airplane hits a bump, does it mean its falling out of they sky? No, it hit a bump.

No dip shit, it has not.

http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

The trending in unemployment is heading down because more people are giving up looking for work than are getting fired. Meaning they are not reflected in the unemployment number. The REAL unemployment number has gone up every month he's been president.

http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/unemployment-charts

This is why people vote for Obama... you are just uninformed, and it clearly shows here. These are not debatable statistics.

You don't think I'm tired of Republicans spewing shit? Maybe if you acted like the bigger person and didn't scream and shout like a loon, people would listen to you.

All the shit republicans take from liberals is 90% of the time trumped up left wing propaganda, and retards repeating it verbatim.

Really? So the shit Democrats have to put up with isn't often hyperbolic bullshit?

Just admit your stupid post is full of garbage, then we can be done.

Why would I? You also didn't address but a small fraction of the points, you merely dismissed them out of hand.

At this point you have become the frothing at the mouth stereotype of a Conservative Tea Party type who instead of wanted to talk to people would rather verbally assault and abuse. Congratulations, you are now a stereotype.

Alright I think I will.

reduced corruption in the Department of the Interior

I would love to know what specifically he did here. Apparently didn't get to the GSA.

http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/04/18/gsa-scandal-so-what-does-823000-buy-you-in-las-vegas/

doubled funding on clean energy research

Yes that worked out beautifully.

http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/070312-617072-abound-solar-files-for-bankruptcy-protection.htm?p=full

warmed relations with Cuba

How? He had literally one comment on this at the beginning of his presidency... You are really reaching here.

increased food safety

How all I see in food prices sky rocketing, and I work in the food industry, I have seen zero change in regulation. The industry self regulates.

improved fuel efficiency requirements

Uh no, he just made cars more expensive for a carbon difference that isn't even measurable. Pure an simple political pandering.

assisted the Libyan revolution, supported the Egyptian revolution

This is working out real nice.

We traded one dictator for another.

All your doing is listing things that have happened in the last 4 years, but completely ignore the affects the policies have had. He is a disaster.

On top of all the lying, he hasn't done one fucking thing about that pesky 16 trillion dollar debt, and hasn't bothered with a budget in 4 years. When bush left office the debt was 10.6 Trillion, Obama called that "unpatriotic." 4 years later, 16 Trillion, which ZERO positive economic effect.

Edit:

Oh and look what just came out today.... Another one of these.
