    The list of "accomplishments" is copied from an oft-published list of "Obama's 50 greatest accomplishments" that you can do a Google for. Taken "as is" they are just short of a miracle......scanning the list, they did forget the free phones to the drug dealers....but took credit for almost everything else.

    The "Obama Phone" isn't true. W actually expanded that law from the 1930's to include Cell phones, however, he did ok giving assult weapons to drug dealers thru the Fast And Furious operation. He denied he had anything to do with it of course.

    and that would of course be the only sting operation in the history of man that ever went bad, right???? I seriously doubt the President set the whole operation up, just took the blame when it went wrong......

    Quite right, just googled it. So that is wrong to do?

    But lets discuss them since it seems that no-one else has put up a single item that Mitt Romney has accomplished, I may have missed it from earlier, but here are 20 points about POTUS. All that seems to be going on is folks attacking our President.

    For instance, lets start at the bottom, item 20. Do you disagree with any of the items to support Vets that was accomplished under his time at the helm? And how does that compare with Mitt Romney?

    Discuss away! Why? Because you can without any oversight/fear/discrimination in this country! God Bless America!

    I am all for giving the people in dire need some help. If a person is able-bodied, they should perform some token work in exchange for any assistance. That assistance should be administered by churches locally....keep ANY national organization out of local charities because they only screw up the system by having layers of managers and excess paperwork. The government does not OWE us anything except defense and what is in the Constitution.

    The Healthcare law that is the #1 on the list you provided. Romney enacted Mass health long ago which is very simmilar to Obamacare, but he did it with bipartisan support. He did not have to push it thru before people knew what was in it. Romney created many successful companies when he was part of Bain Capitol, and extended other failing companies time in business, tho people ultimatly did loose their jobs.. Lets not forget, that is actually a 1 sided question. If your asking about presidential accomplishments, well the answer is none because he has not been President yet

    A consulting firm does not create companies... They come in to an existing company, get their money up front then hang around a try to make things work. If it works out, fine, if not, they got paid anyway. Consulting companies used to have another name, efficiency experts, the first thing they look at is the biggest expense to a company, labor costs! Reducing labor costs increases profit. So, they're going to be looking for places to reduce labor costs by having fewer employees, fewer benefits, or lower wages....

    Are you really sure we want a President who is more concerned with increasing profit then caring about people??? No one has yet explained how you lower taxes on the rich and famous, and increase revenue!!!! It didn't work last time, why will it work this time??? Seems to me the one's getting the biggest breaks will (again) be the one's making $250K a year and up---not sure how that helps those of us making less then $250K, yet paying our taxes at a higher percentage rate?????

    What is wrong with making a profit? Every person I have ever met wants to make profit. I am unable to understand the problem with that. But I do know the result of not making a profit

    Another example of not making a profit:

    There is nothing wrong with making a profit....That phrase is another RNC talking point that has been used far too much!!!! My point was, about continually increasing profit at the expense of the employees.....

    That link goes to a vote early article......

    Lower taxes for the rich creates jobs.

    I've never seen a poor man open a business and hire hundreds of people.

    If a company does not make a profit it cannot grow it cannot hire more people, another word for employees. Saying that I am using an RNC talking point it patronize me. You I believe work as a small business man. I on the other hand come from the corporate world and have worked there as of 70.

    The companies I have worked for have grown and hired many employees, do they down size departments yes they do. If your little shop hired a floor sweeper and the activity coming in the front door slowed, profits down would you not down size? Of course you would and why because your profits are down, economics 101.

    Saying "That phrase is another RNC talking point " is a DNC talking point, so nothing gained nothing learned. Head in the sand, and around and around we go. I like working in the corporate world they make good profits. They train employees in new skills, they invest in new processes, expand the corporate foot print, bring you computers, tools, and every other convenience that our families enjoy. So really consider the profit a good thing cause you want that as much as the corporations.

    The hat trick in the coming election is which one of these two men will take the hand cuffs off the people that create the jobs and wealth of this country...Really a very simple common sense choice, we have the advantage of knowing where one of them has taken the country.

    Hussein Obama has had four years to unshackle the small business.

    Somehow you expect it takes eight?

    True...but there's been a global recession in the interim...look at the global situation eg Spain, Italy, the UK, Ireland, they're in a bad way, and even us right here in little New Zealand.

    We're not as badly affected as some...but it's still not all sweetness and light.

    The Gooberments way of thinking is that ?IF? they can't make a profit then they don't want anyone else to.
    Figuratively speaking, I would think that they (USA) were the largest ?Company? in the free world (or at least close)
    and their "deficit" is a shame and disgrace to it's Citizens. If any other Company in America was to operate that way - - well you know the answer to that one !
