As the time of the great Obama infestation draws to an end, I think we should acknowledge some of the things that Obama has accomplished over the years.

And yet the left-liberal media presented him as the greatest thing since sliced bread, and that he could do not wrong. In stark contrast, they are going after Trump with tooth and nail. Obama's sole virtue was the color of his skin, yet to this day people will not admit it honestly. I believe Booker T. Washington -- an outstanding black man -- would have been ashamed of this man (as well as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton). Please note:

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

Remember the time when criticizing the president was considered treasonous and you would be called a traitor?

If that time escapes your mind, just ask the Dixie Chicks.

And for the rest of us who do remember that time... Well, the word hypocrisy comes to mind.

Criticizing the president is an American tradition starting with George Washington.
Going to a foreign country and criticizing isn't treason, it's free speech. Burning Dixie Chicks CD's is free speech as well. Free speech does not promise freedom from consequence.

Jane Fonda is a traitor. It's sad that so many fine people never came home from Vietnam and she did.

I have to say, this must be the least dictatorial President ever then, because a day doesn't go by when people aren't criticizing the President, 90% of the time for purely mythical reasons. :D

Obama's many accomplishments


Sorry to disappoint the OP's "lynch party," but Barrack Obama ranks as the 17th most effective president despite repeated conservative attempts to "derail" his presidency!

Huh, a critical take on some of Obama's more contentious policies, pointing out where he went wrong for America? This seems like an interesting thread. Let's see what the OP has to offer-

As the time of the great Obama infestation draws to an end, I think we should acknowledge some of the things that Obama has accomplished over the years.

1. First President to be photographed smoking a joint.
Aaaaand I already stopped listening. I'm sorry, why should I care? Why should this be on the list one way or another? Even if you're looking for ways to attack the president, this is your line-one item? "He was photographed smoking a joint". Wow, I can only foresee the negative impact this has on us as a nation years down the line!

Dude, if you're going to play the ultra-partisan card, it's best not to also play the ultra-petty card. Or the ultra-wrong card:

2. First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.

http://www.factcheck.org/2009/05/was-obama-born-in-the-usa/

Ooh, swing and a miss. So item one is incredibly petty, argument two is a long-since-exposed hoax, and argument three is also a long-since-exposed hoax...

3. First President to have a social security number from a state he has never lived in.

(At least, I'm assuming you're referring to the Connecticut SSN, which is indeed a long-since-exposed hoax.)

So that's petty, wrong, and wrong. Give me one reason why anyone should take the rest of your expansive list seriously.

The point (which apparently flew over your head like one flying out of the cuckoo's nest) is that we live in a country with freedom of speech. Declaring it "treason" to speak negatively about the president tramples basic fundamental rights of freedom.

And the point we were making is that people who criticized Bush during his first term got a huge pushback. They were labeled as unpatriotic, as against the troops, as traitors the nation - admittedly, never by a legal body, but the sphere of public opinion was pretty clear on that one: you criticize Bush in the public sphere, you will suffer for it. We never saw this about President Obama. Suddenly, criticizing the president became the most patriotic thing you could do.

That's because Obama didn't invade a country with oil. Duh!

Also, Obama might not only be the first muslim president, but the first socialist atheist antichrist muslim ever.

Barrack Obama ranks as the 17th most effective president despite repeated conservative attempts to "derail" his presidency!
Ranked by whom?
President Obama reached a new milestone, but not one he’s likely to tout. According to a Quinnipiac University poll, Obama ranks as the worst president since World War II.

When presented with a list of presidents since Harry S Truman and asked which they would consider “the worst,” 33 percent of respondents chose Obama. The president surpassed his predecessor, George W. Bush, by 5 points.

In contrast, Ronald Reagan ranked as the best president since Truman at 35 percent. Bill Clinton earned second place and John F. Kennedy third with 18 percent and 15 percent, respectively.


Ranking of presidents results in little more than people's opinions. My list was a non-subjective list of firsts. It didn't even include that Obama is the first president to have had nude pictures of his mother published in men's magazines.
