Why didn't Obama cancel his summit with Putin over their new anti-gay laws and policies?

91. I love how you have changed the subject away from gay rights to avoid embarassment.

"Saying the FMW need to be raise but not doing a damn thing to push it through"
-> The President has been out touring the country pushing for it. Only Congress can really raise it. Fail on your part.

"Taking Bush TARP buckos and handing it out no strings attached"
-> Whatever, most of TARP is getting paid back. I could give less of a shit really. It was used to effectively save the auto companies which was a major middle class victory considering the alternative. Fail on your part.

"Going on a national tour urging Bush Tax Cuts be extended 2 more year, and not repealed as promised "
-> So the fuck what? It was a trade off to get unemployment extended and keep middle class and working poor class tax rates stable in the middle of the recession. Two more years didn't bother me and neither did the 450k compromise. The highest earners did in fact end up going back to the 90s tax rates. Fine by me. Fail on your part.

"Working overtime to lower taxes on Corps, already enjoying record after-tax profits"
-> This is misleading. If you lowered the corporate tax rate and cut offshoring loopholes, as the President has proposed, corps will payer higher taxes than they've paid in decades. Fail on your part.

"Obamacare (okay; victory from the jaws of defeat) which is little more than a gift to private insurance"
-> That's ridiculous. Obamacare expanded Medicaid. Obamacare has forced insurance companies to pay 80% of their intake on health care. It banned pre-existing condition discrimination. It banned lifetime limits. Its about to aid millions of people in helping to pay for their premium if they don't qualify for Medicaid. It extended the life of Medicare for 8 more years. Its funding free preventative care and birth control. Its funding the opening of thousands of free clinics all over the country. If those things aren't progressive to you, then you don't know the meaning of the word.

I'm against Larry Summers as Fed Chair and I think the drone attacks and the NSA and the entire national security apparatus need to be taken down about 20 notches. I disagree with the President on those items but no elected official is going to be without flaws.

Regardless, your going way off topic to avoid discussing how wrong you were when you initially entered this thread and how wrong you were about DADT and Obama's unbeatable record on the advancement of gay rights. You are taking the tact many conservatives take when losing an argument and that is to merely change the subject and try to go all gish gallop to avoid the embarrassment of admitting that you are wrong.

And if you think Obama is center right, you have absolutely no pulse on the ideological spectrums in modern day America. Get off the internet and go outside for awhile. Christ.
