Thanks to President Obama’s bold move, companies that repeatedly violate worker rights and workplace safety standards will no longer receive taxpayer funds or contracts with the federal government.

1. Kudos to the President.

Yet another of his actions that is actually in line with the Democratic Party's core principles, and thus worthy of praise. (It would still be worthy of praise even if the Party didn't hold such beliefs, but thankfully the party does agree with such.)

2. More reason to keep the Presidential seat in Democratic hands.

Erm, that didn't sound right. What I mean is, that Democratic Presidents are committed to ensuring safety issues. Unlike the Republicans who spend their efforts reducing civil penalties, which make it lucrative for companies to maintain unsafe conditions.

10. That should have been addressed in the first few months.

Rather than "keeping it" for propping up this election. Difference between leaders and politicians.

11. First few months of when? When Obama was trying to

get a stimulus passed, or when he was trying to ensure the country wouldn't get embroiled in a depression? What months are you criticizing exactly?

He didn't cure cancer in his first 100 days either. Thanks, Obama.
