The God/King Obama.

[Reservoir_Dog]

The dude is kicking ass, taking names, gettin' shit done and making history!

I don't think anyone has told him that he's a lame duck President!

Make a list so that we can see what it is you are talking about!

[callmeslick]

let's see, in the past month alone:
1.enabled any woman to get contraception, even if her employer's healthplan doesn't allow for it.
2.participated in a deal with Iran that just flat-out makes sense
3. opened relations with Cuba, a situation that was a senseless clusterfuck for decades.
4. sided with the plaintiffs in a groundbreaking lawsuit on same-sex marriage
5. gave what has been deemed one of the 10 most significant speeches ever given by a President at the Charleston funeral

IN THE PAST MONTH ALONE.

Make a list so that we can see what it is you are talking about!

Since back in November when the the United States of America lost it's collective mind, Obama has .....

Secured a nuclear deal with Iran.

Secured a climate agreement with China. (many thought that would never happen)

Overhauled U.S. relations with Cuba.

Freed American prisoners in North Korea.

A new immigration policy that protects millions of people.

The A.C.A. became the law of the land.

Marriage equality became the law of the land.

Guantanamo Bay is being emptied of prisoners.



Shit dude, do you read the news?
This is the most active and successful lame duck President in American history! And he still has a year to go!
He could have easily just given up after last November and no one would have blamed him for it. But he didn't.
That guy plans on going out in style!

Shit dude, do you read the news?

I read many sources! Give me some time and I will comment on each point you made.

NOT referring to you, DH:

Secured a nuclear deal with Iran.

First it has to make it pass Congress! This might slow Iran down for a short time (until they get a cash stockpile). Trust Iran, sure! The only good thing that will come of this is a short term drop in oil prices!

Secured a climate agreement with China. (many thought that would never happen)

Trust China, sure! (as they are hacking into all our computer systems!)

Overhauled U.S. relations with Cuba.

Slow down Bubba!
U.S. law mandates that the federal government support the dismantling of Cuban communism. The U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, for example, is aimed at toppling the Communist regime. The authority to end the embargo rests not with the Obama administration, but with the Republican-dominated U.S. Congress, which is unlikely to pass such legislation.

Freed American prisoners in North Korea.

I will give you that one.....but what about the American prisoners in Iran???

A new immigration policy that protects millions of people.

The job of the US Government is to protect American citizens not people that illegally enter the country. Shit dude, do you read the news?

But this Nut Roll's priority is to let drug dealers and terrorists (Guantanamo Bay is being emptied of prisoners) back out on the street!

The A.C.A. became the law of the land.

I do agree that the health care system here in the US needs a lot of work, I personally disagree with some of the A.C.A. and totally disagree on the back handed way it was jammed down our throuts!

Marriage equality became the law of the land.

Obama had nothing to do with it, in fact this just proved beyond doubt that he is nothing more than a lying hack with no spine.
“I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman,” Obama said. “Now, for me as a Christian — for me — for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God’s in the mix.”

Guantanamo Bay is being emptied of prisoners.

Dumb move IMHO!

[callmeslick]

well, DH, maybe the pic above DOES apply to you. What, pray tell, has been the alternative provided for Iran? None. What evidence is there that Obama has aimed to release criminals and drug dealers, when every immigration move has been aimed toward long-term residents and children? Why on earth would we continue a Cuba policy that hasn't worked, at all? I may not feel that Obama has reached final success on these matters, but he sure has shown himself to be the only thinking adult in the room. As for the marriage equality issue, Obama shows the growth of an adult on a sensitive topic, Biden having been ahead of him(Obama was good with civil union).He has been quite consistent about equality issues, but the right loves to search for cherrypicked quotes and then disparage him. Bottom line is that history will treat Obama as great President, and the GOP obstructionists as the traitors they are
