Obama's Nefarious Right-wing Plot Revealed!

[ProSense]

13. Hmmm?

1. Ending the Iraq War.<...> Escalated the War in Afghanistan, and started five others, including a looming war with Iran.

Withdrew 10,000 troops as part of the process to wind down the Afghanistan war.

2. Twelve billion dollars in new funding to Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.<...>After two billion federal dollars diverted to fuel the growth of charter schools in the last two decades, the Obama Administration endorsed a doubling of direct federal funding. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/25/education/25educ.html

Increased Head Start funding.

3. Extended benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees, welcome gays into the military, and appointed more openly gay officials than any president in history.<...>Bravo, but no more than any Democratic President should have and would have done.

Ended DADT, appointed the first transgender appointee

4. Passed $789 billion in economic stimulus in 2009.<...>A third of the Stim went to tax cuts. And, for context, $16 trillion in extra liquidity went to big banks in QE2.

President Obama recently announced two major jobs initiatives.

5. Created more private sector jobs in 2010 than during all 8 of Bush's years.<...>Unemployment rate is still nearly two points higher than when he took office. Obama has cut public sector jobs. There are still a record six million long-term unemployed, the highest number in the post-war era www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf

Nonsense: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=127999

6. Voluntary disclosure of White House visitors for the first time in US history.<...>Obama has prosecuted more whistleblowers than did Bush, imposed the Espionage Act, and continues a widening campaign against those who dare reveal corruption and wrongdoing in military and intelligence matters.

More nonsense: Cleaning up Bush's mess. Bush is the one who raided Drake's office. Charges dropped.

Another case: No charges for man who leaked surveillance program

7. Appointed first Latina to the US Supreme Court.<...>See 3, above.

The rest, mostly padding the resume . . . not very impressive for a guy who had an FDR size mandate, and returned Hoover results in economic policy and Wall Street reform.

Not very impressive.

Easy to say the same at the dismissive attempts.
