    I don't think his opinion on the success of Eric Holder (he actually showed facts so i guess it's a bit more then opinion) has anything to do with stereotypes. You kinda derailed the thread ? .

    Lol my first comment was relevant, first one to him relevant to what he said, then ? got off topic when i got called a ? . I'll take the blame though, I knew someone who's opinion of Obama was "good because some white people think he's bad" would be sensitive to being compared to racists. As intuitive as it seems like that would be. Lol.

    I have been pretty satisfied with President Obama. My only regret is that he hasn't done more on energy policy but there is still time yet or maybe the kinds of change we need will be left for the next president.

    Healthcare - This is a remarkable achievement that will be forever tied to President Obama, so much so hardly anyone knows it by its true name, the Affordable Care Act

    Leaving Iraq: When Iraq wanted to stick stipulations on us staying in country, the President rightfully said thanks but no thanks and we left. I hope that soon will be the same with Afghanistan.

    Appointing two Capable Supreme Court Justices. Sonia Sotomayor & Elena Kagan. Nice job, maybe he will get another.

    Osama Bin Laden: We Got'Em, nice Job President for making a gutsy call and allowing the very capable military to carry out a very risky operation. That same called doomed President Carter when it failed.

    Helping to get the Economic Recovery Going with the stimulus package with a congress full of haters. Not an easy job.

    Those are just the ones off the top of my head.

    but let's be fair: leaving Iraq was basically signed off on under Bush II, with Obama claiming credit. Afghanistan is the one he'll own.

    He signed off on leaving but not entirely. I'm sure he wanted to leave some soldiers there and we don't know what his decision would have been in terms of a full withdrawal. Also, that decision doesn't negate the fact that he foolishly and recklessly went in, in the first place

    I was referring to this Janks.

    At the end of the Bush administration, when the Status of Forces Agreement, or SOFA, was negotiated, setting 2011 as the end of the United States’ military role, officials had said the deadline was set for political reasons, to put a symbolic end to the occupation and establish Iraq’s sovereignty. But there was an understanding, a senior official here said, that a sizable American force would stay in Iraq beyond that date.

    Over the last year, in late-night meetings at the fortified compound of the Iraqi president, Jalal Talabani, and in videoconferences between Baghdad and Washington, American and Iraqi negotiators had struggled to reach an agreement. All the while, both Mr. Obama and the Iraqi prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, gave the world a wink and nod, always saying that Iraq was ready to stand on its own but never fully closing the door on the possibility of American troops’ staying on.

    Through the summer, American officials continued to assume that the agreement would be amended, and Mr. Obama was willing to support a continued military presence. In June, diplomats and Iraqi officials said that Mr. Obama had told Mr. Maliki that he was prepared to leave up to 10,000 soldiers to continue training and equipping the Iraqi security forces. Mr. Maliki agreed, but said he needed time to line up political allies.

    With the collapse of discussions about extending the stay of U.S. troops, President Obama announced the full withdrawal of troops from Iraq, as previously scheduled, on 21 October 2011

    1. Healthcare - This is a remarkable achievement that will be forever tied to President Obama, so much so hardly anyone knows it by its true name, the Affordable Care Act
    >>>Your Grandparents will have to die so that YOU and your kids can afford Healthcare. Let's hope they are healthy as horse now so you don't have to worry..mmmk?

    2. Leaving Iraq: When Iraq wanted to stick stipulations on us staying in country, the President rightfully said thanks but no thanks and we left. I hope that soon will be the same with Afghanistan.
    >>>> Haha If Obama hadn't pulled out it would have been his Political un-doing. but best believe he wanted to stay there..War on Terror remember? Obama is still down with Bush on that one.

    3. Appointing two Capable Supreme Court Justices. Sonia Sotomayor & Elena Kagan. Nice job, maybe he will get another.
    >>>>2 of the most wicked Liberal ? ever appointed. Too bad you haven't studied their decisions over the last decade to understand this.

    >>>>You watchin' too much MSNBC..Bin Laden Been Dead...some time now. long before Seal Team 6 went in. and how ironic that every single member of Seal Team 6 is DEAD AS A HAMMER...coincidence? nah..

    5. Helping to get the Economic Recovery Going with the stimulus package with a congress full of haters. Not an easy job. Those are just the ones off the top of my head.
    >>> check your check stub again Rembrandt, match it to one you got in 2006 when Bush was in office. Guarantee you took home more money then than now.


    Point by point you failed to understand what's really happening. Sadly over 85% of people in America think like you do..therefore, America is doomed.

    @DarthSidious

    i feel like you decided obamas decisions are bad and worked backwards from that. there are SOME things he deserves credit for. ACA being one of them in my opinion. bin laden, not at all. everything else, kinda.

    Sorry @twatgetta, we are going to have to agree to disagree.

    I am probably not the best person to try the 'Obama has been horrible for the country' spiel. I am making quite a bit more than I did in 2008 and prior, my retirement plan is burgeoning thanks to the stock market going gang busters and I was able to refinance my home at an unbelievable rate on a 15 year mtg maybe a year and a half ago.

    My question to you..

    Are you getting more ? than you did in 2008 or less ? ? lol

    just going to point out the following:

    01. "as previously scheduled"
    02. "Obama was willing to support a continued military presence"

    adds up to me not being impressed

    Once you're are in, you're committed. This is why they voted to fund the soldiers. Going in and creating the narrative in the first place had nothing to do with Obama.

    reminder: in this thread, the topic is theoretically the accomplishments of Obama, not the mistakes of Bush. specifically, whether or not it's Obama's achievement to pull troops out of Iraq.

    Bush sent them there, Bush signed off on them leaving, Obama didn't do anything to prevent them leaving. the error of the first might negate favor for the second, but it doesn't mean the third was a major achievement.

    Pretty much, Obama lied about Iraq anyway. He promised to get troops out of there within 6 months, and it took him 2 years to do so. As you said, on Bush's terms. Waiting that long to take American troops out didn't make a difference, Iraq is still a disaster of a country....

    While Obama promises help for Ukraine and "financial assistance", and promises financial aid for Afghanistan all the damn time, his hometown of Chicago has turned into a warzone. They call it CHI-RAQ now.

    45 PEOPLE WERE SHOT ON EASTER SUNDAY THERE. YES, on Easter Sunday. I'd rather not know how many of those were killed

    The weekend before that, 37 people were shot

    Poverty and lack of good jobs there are so prevalent there that people are shooting each other up every 5 seconds for good drug spots and getting rid of the competition. Think about all this next time America promises another country "financial assistance".

    That's a good start I guess, not optimistic they'll do anything though....I just hope they're not just gonna do standard gun bust operations and ? . The problem is way deeper then guns, as we all know Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country lol smh
