Let's count: health care, repeal DADT, bin ladin dead. How 'bout a little fucking CREDIT here.

[UTUSN]

And there's plenty of room to add on here.

1. As far as I am concerned Health care doesn't count but I will give him props for bin ladin and DADT.

[CBHagman]

5. You're a tough audience!

You know how hard it was to even pass modest health care reform? And the Republicans want to repeal even that.

I give a lot of credit to Nancy Pelosi for managing a diverse caucus in that fight.

26. Get a pre-existing condition. Then let's see if you still think HCR "doesn't count." nt

[UrbScotty]

2. Uh, you forgot a few: Wall Street reform, credit card reform, a more diverse SCOTUS,

the Matthew Shepard/James Byrd Jr. Act, making the student financial aid process easier, higher emissions standards for vehicles, the CFPB, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act...

[DURHAM D]

3. Repeal of DADT without including a non-discrimination clause

means little. In fact in could mean a re-set to 1982. Just another way Obama shows his love of Ronald Reagan.

10. Wow. So you've found a way to give no credit for DADT's repeal.

No surprise there.

We know. Whatever he does, there will be some caveat so you can still avoid any credit.

24. What total garbage. "despite his actions". Pitiful.

[TheWraith]

25. Right, it's not like he created the strategy that passed the bill when everyone else gave up.

Oh wait. That's EXACTLY WHAT THE CASE WAS.

So spare us the "OBAMA BAD!" nonsense.

[Tx4obama]

18. There are some that will 'never' give President Obama credit for anything. n/t

9. My son can no longer get his own insurance policy through major insurance

companies due to the pre-existing loophole...so, nope on health care.

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. Didn't Congress repeal DADT?

I thought I read a thousand times on DU that CONGRESS was the only entity that could repeal DADT. Sure, he signed the passed bill, but it was CONGRESS what killed the DADT monster.

[Coyote_Bandit]

13. Health care reform?

Sorry.

Didn't happen.

Well, unless you're an insurance company.

They must be loving it.

[Shagbark Hickory]

35. Or unless you're a child who's claims have been denied for Pre-X conditions.

He derserves some credit for the reforms IMO.

He doesn't deserve credit for universal healthcare but credit where credit's due.

[Marrah_G]

14. How about your buddy starts acting like a Democrat instead of a corporate shill.

[Raine]

16. "Health care"? Oh you mean the give away to insurance and big pharma

he gets blame for that, not credit. :thumbsdown:

[Trekologer]

22. If it was such a big giveaway to insurance companies why were they fighting so hard against it?

Was it perfect? Nope, not at all. But the fact that the insurance companies were putting the full court press on in opposition seems to suggest it wasn't all that bad.

[slipslidingaway]

29. Did you miss the ads run by Pharma and AHIP in support of the bill? nt

[TheKentuckian]

23. Seeing as I am opposed to the Wealth Care and Profit Protection Act

and don't much give a fuck about bin Laden other than not being fond of the extra-judicial stink on the affair combined with somewhere between gross negligence and willful scuttling of the economy as well as accepting the bogus Republican ideology as at least credible and too often correct, I'm not impressed by the few little chunks of the stimulus that went into half productive ends, signing Ledbetter, and DADT in the context of giving the seal of approval on the failed systems and institutions that are sinking the country.

[smoochpooch]

27. He's running against one number and right now it stands at 9.2%.

If it's anywhere close to that one year from now, he loses.

He may get credit for some things, but he'll get plenty of blame for others. In the end, only one will matter in the 2012 election.

[cherokeeprogressive]

31. My guess is that it will be higher by Nov. 2012.

The govt could always lie about it in Sep-Oct though, and revise the numbers after the election. In that case, it wouldn't matter.

It seems like EVERY time there are numbers released by this administration, they're revised downward with little or no fanfare a couple of months later.

[LeftyMom]

28. Obama got dragged into DADT kicking and screaming, and the health care bill is a handie to industry.

[Fearless]

30. Pro-corporation health care is NOT change I can beleive in.

Bin Laden didn't matter to begin with. It was a continuation of a meaningless war and the continued costing of the American people valuable money. DADT he dragged his ass on for SIX MONTHS and tried to tell the SF court that they needed more time even after that.

We still have POW camps overseas. We still have the PATRIOT ACT. We still have two and now added a third war for no reason.

AND he's looking to cut social programs to pay for the issues that the wealthy caused while not asking them for A SINGLE DIME.


So yeah. That is where I stand.

34. Sorry my credit for DADT went to Joe Lieberman.

36. $20 billion victims fund for gulf oil victims from bp

you'd never see THAT from the likes of reagan/bush
