Heres a list

Posted: Nov 1, 2010

This site is the preview version of Obama Achievements Center. It’s a work in progress. Far too much time has been spent putting the spotlight on complaints while significant achievements are either ignored, not reported, or minimized. (from "about site")

http://obamaachievements.org/

While you certainly probably will not agree with each and every one, this is especially for those of you who say there "aren't any accomplishments".

Unsure about the links/site - anon

Is there another site? This is just too suspicious and I don't trust any of the links enough to want to click on them. The site your link went to looks like it was created as a high school project. I was reading through it and guess it's put together by a group of "Twitters" (don't trust that at all), then what's even more unsettling is this thing they are calling oWiki team. They've got a link to sign up but it's not trustworthy. I tried to google the name and nothing is coming up.

If you have an independent site I'd love to read it.

Thanks.

I wouldn't want you to have a problem - so here are some

Obama had numerous accomplishments in his first year:

Eliminating wasteful spending. Obama was able to achieve some significant cuts to wasteful spending -- The Washington Times reported on January 14 that Obama won "60 percent of his proposed cuts" and also managed "to get Congress to ax several programs that had bedeviled President George W. Bush for years."

Sotomayor nomination. She was confirmed by the Senate on August 6, 2009, and sworn in August 8, making her the first Hispanic justice, and only the third woman, on the court.

Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. The first bill President Obama signed into law, on January 29, 2009, was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which expands the rights of workers to sue employers over wage discrimination claims.

SCHIP expansion. On February 5, 2009, Obama signed a bill expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to cover 4 million more lower-income children.

Credit card reform. On May 21, 2009, Obama signed into law a bill providing what USA Today called the "most sweeping changes to the credit card industry in 40 years," adding restrictions on interest rate increases and fees and restricting the marketing of credit cards to college students.

Transparency. The Washington Post reported that moves by the Obama administration to improve government transparency "included a ban on lobbyist gifts; restrictions on the hiring of lobbyists; publication of White House visitor logs and other records; and a move to bar lobbyists from serving on advisory boards." A report by Common Cause, Democracy 21, the League of Women Voters, and U.S. PIRG stated that: "The cumulative effect of the Administration's actions has been to adopt the strongest and most comprehensive lobbying, ethics and transparency rules and policies ever established by an Administration to govern its own activities."

Tobacco regulation. On June 22, 2009, Obama signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which, for the first time, gave the U.S. Food & Drug Administration the authority to regulate the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of tobacco.

National service. On April 21, 2009, Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which expands the scope of AmeriCorps and provides opportunities for young people and senior citizens to join in service programs.

Stem cell research. On May 9, 2009, Obama signed an executive order easing restrictions on the use of federal money for embryonic stem cell research.

Passing stimulus, generating jobs. On February 17, 2009, Obama signed the $787 billion stimulus bill into law. In December 2009, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office issued a report estimating that "in the third quarter of calendar year 2009, an additional 600,000 to 1.6 million people were employed in the United States" due to that legislation. According to the White House Council of Economic Advisers, CBO has increased its estimate to 800,000 to 2.4 million additional employed through the fourth quarter of that year. Moreover, a November 20, 2009, New York Times article reported that the "consensus" among "dispassionate analysts" is that "the stimulus package, messy as it is, is working," citing nonpartisan analyses of gross domestic product and total employment figures by several companies specializing in economic forecasting. Further, a January 25 USA Today article stated that, according to its "quarterly survey of 50 economists," "[u]nemployment would have hit 10.8% -- higher than December's 10% rate -- without Obama's $787 billion stimulus program," adding, "The difference would translate into another 1.2 million lost jobs."

There were also provisions for COBRA, unemployment, and retraining benefits.

So Where is the Republican list - of accomplisments and plans

[ In Reply To ..]
The one I heard about is that they plan to extend the tax breaks to the rich, thereby increasing the deficit. Not a new plan--its an EXTENSION of a Republican policy that got us into this mess. I do hear alot of ranting and raving, though.

It is obvious - Republicans do not have any

Either they don't have any, or it is a secret.

Sure they do.... - sam

Do not raise taxes, stop the financial hemorrhaging and actually CUT spending...wow, what a concept!!! And if they do not do what they say they are going to do, the target is on THEIR backs next cycle.

They have many, but doing NOTHING would be better - than the way Obama has wrecked everything!.nm

ROFL!! You got that right. - sam

[ In Reply To ..]
Name ONE place they have stopped ANY spending, let alone ELIMINATE it. 3 trillion more in debt in less than 2 years in office???? This admin obviously not smarter than a 5th grader because even a 5th grader knows the way to balance a budget and stop hemorrhaging is to STOP SPENDING.

Did not think I would live long enough the hear a sitting President call half of the country his enemy. It is like history repeating itself, only instead of trying to get out from under England's thumb we are trying to get out from under the far left wing of the Democratic party's thumb. He is talking like a monarch instead of a President. Oh hurry up 2012, with all due respect Mr. Obama needs to go back to Chicago with Rahm.

Let's not forget to laugh at "transparency"... - mmmmm

Among his listed accomplishments was transparency. Am I the only one who remembers behind-closed-door meetings about the abomination he calls health care reform?

At least he finally put into words that we who do not agree with his agenda are his enemies...ahhh...errrr....I should have used the word "opponent" he says now. I had a little bit of respect left for him before he said that. Now the only respect I have is for the office he holds. He cannot be gone soon enough. Come on 2012!!!

Over 800,000 visitor records released - try again, naysayer

Way different from when Cheney had his secret meetings with the oil companies. Probably discussing how Haliburton could cheapen up their cement for the deep water wells.

In September 2009, the President announced that â�� for the first time in history â�� the White House would routinely release visitor records. Today, the White House releases visitor records that were generated in July 2010. Todayâ��s release also includes several visitor records generated prior to September 16, 2009 that were requested by members of the public during September 2010 pursuant to the White House voluntary disclosure policy. This release brings the grand total of records that this White House has released to over 800,000 records. You can view them all in our Disclosures section.

president...can alter the information on a visitor list to the White House. Bahahaha! I bet Obama didn't have closed door meetings with politicians who were against Obamacare who conveniently changed their mind after said meetings either, huh?

Obama is nothing but a bullying thug who uses race to divide us while he apologizes to terrorists and yet calls his fellow Americans who oppose his agenda..the enemy.

I'm sure you don't remember Obama - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
fighting to block access to names of visitors to the White House, taking up the Bush administration argument that a president doesn't have to reveal who comes calling to influence policy decisions. The president only started releasing this information when he was sued by a nonprofit group. The White House has set up a Web page where members of the public can request the release of names of visitors, but that system gives results only for the names of visitors that the public can guess . If the public can't guess who may have visited the White House, it can't find out the names. The White House system requires requesters to submit their e-mail address, requests are not acknowledged by the White House, and no reply is sent to the requesters. The names sought, if they correspond to actual visitors, just show up in the next batch of names released by the White House.

Obama did in fact call his "opponents" the enemy... - sam

[ In Reply To ..]
only in retrospect AFTER the flap he says well I should have said "opponents." He can't even tell the truth about telling the truth as he sees it...he has to LIE about telling the truth. He would not know the truth if it bit him. That is a fact. The footage of him saying it is available.

Are you equally as indignant - about Palin's "bastards" remark? nm

[ In Reply To ..]
At least Obama apologized when he realized his error.

Umm....I believe Palin was referring to the media and I might agree with her on that one.... - sam

[ In Reply To ..]
and she is NOT the President of the United States who is supposed to be the President for ALL of us and referred to half of us as his enemy. And I do not think for 1 minute he apologized for an "error." He meant what he said, and when the hoohah started his damage control people told him to apologize. Come on. All you have to do is listen to any of the speeches. It comes from that same place in him that the comment about bitterly clinging to their guns and religion came from. And nope, I have not forgotten that one either.

And as a black man he should know better than - see message

to talk about people needing to sit at the back of the bus.

The only reason he is saying he made an error is because it's the day of election. Come tomorrow he'll be back to referring to have the country as "the enemy". But then again I'd expect no less from someone who trashes us to other countries.

LOL! What baloney, and Obama is the president. - Creating class warfare is his awful game.nm

Visitor's Records Released TODAY? Why not months ago? - Backwards Typist

[ In Reply To ..]

Transparency doesn't just mean visitor's records. That only shows who was at the White House. In fact, I wonder why it took so long to release those records, after he became president; especially since today is ELECTION day. Does he think people are going to take the time to read them before voting? Does he think it's going to change the vote?

A misinterpretation? - This is an ongoing list.

Stem Cell Research question - Backwards Typist

[ In Reply To ..]
I would like to know if this repeated the Dickey Amendment permitting federal money to be used for research where the stem cells would cause the destruction of embryos?

This is why Bush vetoed the bill during his presidency. If that above is the case then the sten cell research is not a good thing.

Oh, heck. Never mind. I'll look it up myself.

Stem Cell Research Did rep;eal the Dickey Amendment - Backwards Typist

[ In Reply To ..]

and there is a lawsuit/injunction pending against the stem cell research.

\"It\'s the worst outcome we could imagine,\" says George Daley, a stem-cell researcher at the Children\'s Hospital Boston in Massachusetts. \"It\'s going to be enormously disruptive to anyone holding NIH money [to conduct work on human ESCs], which has been a big deal since the Obama policy.\"

According to figures posted on the NIH website, the agency granted a total of US$143 million in funding for human embryonic stem-cell research in 2009, with funding estimates for 2010 and 2011 being $137 million and $126 million, respectively.

Under the previous administration of George W. Bush, scientists could not use federal funds for research on human embryonic stem-cell lines derived after 9 August 2001. In March 2009, US President Barack Obama overturned those restrictions by executive order, mandating the NIH to develop a policy for the ethical approval of newly derived lines.

CONTENTION AND APPEAL

The lawsuit against the HHS and NIH contends that the new policy violates the Dickey-Wicker Amendment, a law that prohibits the destruction of human embryos. The suit was dismissed last October because the original plaintiffs — listed in court documents as two Christian organizations, six individuals, and \"embryos\" — were deemed to have no legal standing in the case, that is, they had no tangible interest in its outcome.

However, the two scientists on the plaintiff list — James Sherley, a researcher in adult stem cells at the Boston Biomedical Research Institute, and Theresa Deisher, research and development director of the firm AVM Biotechnology in Seattle, Washington — appealed, and in June the case was granted standing on the grounds that human embryonic stem-cell research increases funding competition for scientists working on adult stem cells.

How are they going to create jobs? (In the U.S.) How are they actually going pay for anything when they cut taxes for the rich? Details, not sound bites please. I hear nothing NEW. Where are these big changes from the last time they had their chance?

All we have to go on is what they SAY they will do.... - sam

[ In Reply To ..]
just like that was all we had to go on when Obama ran. He has not done one thing he said he would do and has done NOTHING except add 3 trillion to the debt. If they cut taxes for the "rich" that means they are leaving some money with small businesses so they can start HIRING again. Small businesses are the largest employers in our country!! THEY are the ones who create jobs. Your Obama wants to tax them to death and spend, spend, spend. They say they will try to repeal that health bill. It is NOT the best idea, but the democrats would not even hold debate on it. They admitted themselves they did not even READ it. They just wanted to PASS it. I realize that you think the sun rises and sets on Democrats only, but I for one am TIRED of representatives who cannot bother to read bills and want to pass a mess just to say they PASSED something. That is RIDICULOUS. We are drowning here!! We need a lifeline, not a foot on our neck.
We have to STOP this crazy spending that your grandchildren's grandchildren will still be trying to pay back, or they will be speaking Chinese when China calls up the loans this administration has taken with them.

Open your eyes, please! Stop being stuck in that Republicans and Democrats crap and yes it is CRAP. This is about who will do the will of the people. I don't they a lot of you realize...there are a lot of moderate and conservative Democrats who feel betrayed too, it is not just republicans, independents and tea party, constitution party, libertarians...there are a lot of angry AMERICANS who have finally decided to make our elected reps accountable. It just happens to be Dems in control now. I personally think if the repubs don't do what they say they will do, they will go the way of the whigs and in 2012 we will have a new party and it will have all the independents, disgruntled former repubs and disgusted former democrats...yada yada. I don't think you get the degree of anger and betrayal this country feels and it is NOT just republicans.

So, you are saying that there are none? - nm

[ In Reply To ..]

No, I am not saying there are none....nice try at deflection, but no cigar. - sam

[ In Reply To ..]
I have as much from the Republicans as I did from Obama and the Democrats when he ran. One thing going FOR them...they are NOT Democrats and any CHANGE from the present course is far BETTER inb my view. You know, you have to actually listen to what they are saying to know what their ideas are. Limited government, cut spending, fund small businesses who are the job creators in this country, get the federal government the heck out of our day to day lives, repeal that debacle of a health care bill (yes, Obama would veto that, but when he is gone in 2012 it will go with him). It is a BAD bill. It does NOT address the real issue, and that is CUTTING medical care costs and introducing COMPETITION into the health insurance business. They did not even, at their own admission, read their own bill. They just passed a BAD one just to pass one. And if the republicans DO NOT do what they say they are going to do, it is THEIR TURN next. It is obvious that you don't get what is going on in your own country. It is not just republicans and tea partiers who are angry. It is Independents...it is moderate and conservative Democrats...it is libertarians and constitution party...it is a bunch of people who decided to be AMERICANS united and and to H-E-double hockey sticks to political parties who don't give a rat's patootie about the little guy (and that includes YOU).
