Before you start another list of lies or falsehoods, or bad ideas, maybe answer the response to your first list of bullshit?
- Overhauled the food safety system;
How? Why did it need overhauling?
Purely political piece of legislation.Approved the Lily Ledbetter "Equal Pay" for women rule;
Women, on average, earn less than men mostly because of individual choices. Discrimination is not a key factor in the gender pay gap.

- Ended "Don't Ask/Don't Tell" discrimination in the military;
...a policy started by a liberal democrat.
- Passed the Hate Crimes bill in Congress;
Any politician or leader who passes "hate crime" bill should be fired on the spot.
...and you don't seem to care if they were QUALIFIED? Well, the fact they are "progressive" means its impossible for those ladies to have a shred of common sense or wisdom. Again, that's another strike against the President.Appointed two progressive women to the U.S. Supreme Court including the first Latina;
- Pushed through the Affordable Health Care Act, outlawing denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions, extending until age 26 health care coverage of children under parent's plans, steps toward "Medicare for All;"
And by way extending a hearty FUCK YOU to the working-class parents whose premiums skyrocket because now they have to pay for their lazy 'professional student' child, while granted exemptions to his fat-cat big-labor thugs. how nice.
...extending a royal FUCK YOU to hard-working parents who look out for their OWN offspring's health care.Expanded the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) health care for children;
...extending a hearty FUCK YOU to the constitution...and, besides the fact your statement is a bald-faced LIE, it's clear you haven't done any research on what actually happened with that fiasco.Pushed through a $789 economic stimulus bill that saved or created 3 million jobs and began task of repairing the nation's infrastructure;
Prove it.Overhauled the credit card industry, making it more consumer friendly;
- Established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and used a recess appointment to keep it on track in the face of GOP attempts to derail it;
...if GOPs apposed the Bureau its because we need LESS Gov't, not more.
- Also outmaneuvered GOP in naming two members of the National Labor Relations Board blocked by the Republicans in their attempt to shut down the NLRB;
You have very shitty definitions of "Goodness"
WON? You mean "He was ALLOWED". Lemme get this straight - what you are praising is the govt spending MORE money than it had. Holy Hell.Won two extensions of the debt ceiling and extensions of unemployment compensation in the face of Republican threats to shut down the U.S. government;
...on schedule +/- with the timelines President Bush initiated...BFD.Pulled troops out of Iraq and began draw down of troops in Afghanistan.
Do you have one original, rational thought in your brain?
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
