Quit trashing Obama's accomplishments. He has
Posted: Dec 16, 2013
Corey James wrote "Quit trashing Obama's accomplishments. He has done more than any other President before him. He has an impressive list of accomplishments: First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.

First President to violate the War Powers Act. First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. First President to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party. First President to spend a trillion dollars on "shovel-ready" jobs when there was no such thing as "shovel-ready" jobs.* * * * First President to abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters. First President to by-pass Congress and implement the Dream Act through executive fiat. First President to order a secret amnesty program that stopped the deportation of illegal immigrants across the U.S. including those with criminal convictions. First President to demand a company hand-over $20 billion to one of his political appointees. First President to tell a CEO of a major corporation (Chrysler) to resign. First President to terminate America’s ability to put a man in space. First President to cancel the National Day of Prayer and to say that America is no longer a Christian nation. First President to have a law signed by an auto-pen without being present. First President to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it. First President to threaten insurance companies if they publicly spoke out on the reasons for their rate increases. First President to tell a major manufacturing company in which state it is allowed to locate a factory. First President to file lawsuits against the states he swore an oath to protect (AZ, WI, OH, IN). First President to withdraw an existing coal permit that had been properly issued years ago. First President to actively try to bankrupt an American industry (coal). First President to fire an inspector general of AmeriCorps for catching one of his friends in a corruption case. First President to appoint 45 czars to replace elected officials in his office. First President to surround himself with radical left wing anarchists. First President to golf 73 separate times in his first two and a half years in office, 102 to date. First President to hide his medical, educational and travel records. First President to win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing NOTHING to earn it. First President to go on multiple "global apology tours" and concurrent "insult our friends" tours. First President to go on 17 lavish vacations, including date nights and Wednesday evening White House parties for his friends paid for by the taxpayers. First President to have 22 personal servants (taxpayer funded) for his wife. First President to keep a dog trainer on retainer for $102,000 a year at taxpayer expense.* * * * First President to fly in a personal trainer from Chicago at least once a week at taxpayer expense.* * * * First President to repeat the Holy Quran & tell us the early morning call of the Azan (Islamic call to worship) is the most beautiful sound on earth. First President to tell the military men and women that they should pay for their own private insurance because they "volunteered to go to war and knew the consequences." Then he was the First President to tell the members of the military that THEY were UNPATRIOTIC for balking at the last suggestion.* * * * First President to side with a foreign nation over one of the American 50 states (Mexico vs. Arizona). How is Obama’s "Hope and Change" working out for you?" I believe Obama should be arrested and impeached for only a few of his "Great Accomplishments." For being best President in many of his Democratic followers eyes... I feel this Great Nation in being misled in an immorally direction away from what it was originally founded on. I pray for the safety and promising future for our children. I pray our children do not become as greedy, ungrateful, anti-christian and un-patriotic as I see our current leaders leading their lives. I commend you for reading all of this. And, I hope it has empowered you with knowledge and opened your eyes more. Thank you, Daniel S. Hudson

Worst president ever. - missbarb
[ In Reply To ..]You forgot, he is the first president to bow down to the Saudi King Abdullah. He is the first president of the United States to bow to a Saudi King, ugh!!
He also encouraged the Muslim Brotherhood to start taking over the Middle East. Before the MB took hold, the leaders of the countries protected the Christians, nuns, priests and their churches. Believe it or not, Saddam Hussein protected Christians, Mubarek of Egypt protected Christians, Gaddafi protected Christians and Assad protects Christians living in Syria. Now, the Christians are being brutally killed and churches burned. And Obama says not one word about it.
....and GWB was the first US president to KISS the Saudi king! - hahaha

Same sad liberal argument...Blame Bush!! They can't take the truth (nm) - anon
[ In Reply To ..]As usual.
No, just the same sick TP double standard/hypocrisy. nm - hahaha
[ In Reply To ..].
No, it's liberals choosing to ignore the real issues with the Blame Bush meme (sm) - anon
[ In Reply To ..]You pick the one item out of that whole list of things for which Obama has been responsible and compare that to Bush. You choose to act blind concerning the rest of the post, so now address those other points if you dare. Try to shoot down the truth. All you will be able to argue is Bush kissed a shah first waaa waaa waaa.
No, it is your TP followers that do not understand...sm - hahaha
[ In Reply To ..]the meaning of hypocrisy. Who brought up Obama and handshakes? Have you seen our president kissing or holding hands with any nefarious leader, especially one whose country incubated 911?
Forget the kissing and holding hands. He flew them out of the USA after 9/11.Only plane - in the air allowed nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
Yes, he did. I remember that! (NM) - Libby
[ In Reply To ..]
Many of these issues have already be discussed as they occurred - and
[ In Reply To ..]many of them are truths that are subjectively good or bad depending on one's opinion, i.e., I think the Dream Act was a very good thing. I personally know of several people/families it has touched and incredibly helped.
And while it is unclear if OP compiled this composition him/herself (no citation/source credited), it looks to me like a cut-and-paste that took all of a minute to post, so for that reason, along with the fact a lot of these issues have been discussed, I can understand why most of us would not consider it prudent to take the time to address point-by-point a 30-second cut-and-paste.
No, we can't take the HYPOCRISY. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]n
I agree - the liberal HYPOCRISY is so blantly obvious - nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
But he did kiss the king. It's a fact. - And they held hands, too.
[ In Reply To ..]And the Saudis are responsible for 911.
LOL! I remembering them "tip-toeing through the tulips" - Libby

How about the illegal Iraq war, institution of NSA surveillance program,....sm - hahaha
[ In Reply To ..]the worst recession since the great depression....need I go on?
No, but I'll go on - sm
[ In Reply To ..]The worse recession since the great depression is happening now under Obama, not Bush. King Drone. Benghazi, lies, cover ups, NSA, government shut down, lies, no BC, lies, multimillion dollar mega vacations in times of crisis, lies. OC...need I go on?
Surely you jest? sm - hahaha
[ In Reply To ..]We are out of the recession that Bush drove us into and gaining every month. The NSA debacle began with the GWB administration after 911. Your TP has lost all credibility. You wanted change but caved to big money corporate charletons against your own best interests. They are the ones feeding you lies.
No, I don't but I see you are - get serious
[ In Reply To ..]We are not out of the recession. We are going deeper into the recession. The NSA debacle is going on right now. Bush has not been in office since 2009. Time to blame Bush for something that is Obamas problems is over. End of story. This is now Obama's baby and when he was campaigning he said he would take full responsibility for what happens under his watch. Guess what? This is happening under his watch.
The only TP I have is toilet paper in my house. I am not part or agree with the TP. So that takes care of that. End of story.
The whole country wanted change. Unfortunately we got empty promises. I didn't cave to anything because I don't cave (in case you didn't know this I am neither a politician, nor belong to any party). But those "big money corporate charletons" are getting fatter under your loves watch. Oh yeah, and since I don't have TV or read any of the mainstream websites nobody is feeding me anything. But I see they are to you.
You really need to get a different source of news. You're not getting the truth with the junk you are listening to now.
Forbes totally disagrees with you. - Libby
[ In Reply To ..]I find this to be a very interesting article, and, of course, Forbes has a lot of credibility.
I hope some of you take a minute or two to read this very informative assessment of how the recession is TRULY doing.
We are no where NEAR out of the recession. Haven't you heard? - Truthhurts
[ In Reply To ..]You have to realize that unemployment is down because of the seasonal workers. Happens every year.
Iraq was not an illegal war. Congress voted on it.
What Obama did in Libya and what he's doing with the drones IS illegal. Congress did NOT vote on either of those items.
Bush did not cause the recession. Wall St., Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, and the banks did with their hedge funds and derivatives. Bush tried to regulate the banks back in 2005-2006 but the D's had control of Congress and Barney Fife's famous statement in June 2005 was that there was no housing bubble problem, that the financial system was in great shape.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW5qKYfqALE
....and what CAUSED the recession? The housing bubble that crashed just like your dot.com's back in the '90s. Barney Frank was being paid off by Frank Raines who, BTW, resigned from FM/FM taking millions of taxpayer dollars with him.
Or, did you conveniently forget that Dems blocked the tighter regulation and that the Dems controled Congress back then.
The NSA began with Bush BUT it was nothing like the changes existing today, all due to Obama and the Dems EXPANSION of the Patriot Act given the NSA the power and freedom they have today. Now that it has come out about the NSA, the Dems are all over it as if they didn't know what they created...kinda sounds like the ACA, now doesn't it? They vote with their bottom end, not with their brains.
King Harry has changed the rules once again because they are so afraid that the American people woke up and they will not be in control of the Senate in 2014 and King Harry will lose his dictatorship. What troubles me is that he has taken complete taken control over the Congress and no one can stop him.
If I were you, I would start checking your sources and your info before posting the lies you've been fed.
I don't come here often anymore because of all the lies posted by liberals and that's a shame that some of you are still so blind to facts. Now I'm leaving again because discussion is further from the minds of some here.
Excellent points Truthhurts. Great to see you back - The Sarge
[ In Reply To ..]Really miss your input on the board. Everything you wrote is exactly true. I cannot understand why they don't see that and twist everything completely around ignoring all the fact.
I hope you start posting again. You always had great posts.
What does "they vote with their bottom end" mean? - That Dems vote with their butts?

[ In Reply To ..]Might be a problem.

Yep. Exactly. (nm) - Truthhurts

How rude. - nm
[ In Reply To ..].
It's not rude, it's the truth - sm
[ In Reply To ..]There is nothing rude about what she wrote. What she wrote happens to be the truth. These people don't think when they vote. Simple fact is they don't care.
How could you possibly claim that "These people don't think when they vote" - is the truth?
[ In Reply To ..]First of all who are "These People"?
Secondly, are they identifiable? Can we contact them to find out if, in fact, it is true they don't think when they vote?
I care. I vote. My opinion is different than yours. I respect the fact we all think differently and therefore respect your opinion. Just because I think and vote differently from you, and have opinions different from yours doesn't mean I don't think or have a brain or think with another part of my anatomy.
Things go so much more smoothly on the board when we stick to the issues and stay away from judging each other or even the entire population of non-politicians in general. Being more generous with our tolerance for different opinions can go a long way.
I'm very passionate about my opinions and do take things personally, so I also have to work on not taking offense when what I believe to be the truth, or what I have researched to be the truth is dismissed on a personal level as stupid, crazy, or not caring.
IMO if one votes, that does signify some thought process. The ones who don't vote are the ones that I have a problem with. But that's for another time, maybe.
Because I see the outcome. - It's not good for us
[ In Reply To ..]But it's great for them.
That's how.
Thank you for your response and surpassing my expectations! - :-)
[ In Reply To ..]x
Wonderful post. I couldn't agree more. (NM) - Libby
[ In Reply To ..]
I enjoy your posts, too. I thought about monikering myself as Demmy - lol
[ In Reply To ..]Then we'd have a Libby and a Demmy ;-)
Thank you. (sm) - Libby
[ In Reply To ..]And Demmy sounds like a great moniker, though with some of the posters on this board, they are likely to change the "e" with another letter of the alphabet.
Maybe something like "Demi" (as in Moore)? That way, you're not only smart, but you're beautiful, as well. :-)
I refer you to the link from Forbes that I posted (sm) - Libby
[ In Reply To ..]above regarding the recession.
As far as the ACA is concerned, I personally prefer to call it "Obamacare," so it retains the name of the first President in the history of this country who was able to make this promise come to fruition (or who even cared enough to acknowledge that the healthcare system in this country is/was horrible). I believe that once the "bugs" are all worked out and amendments made (single payer would be great, in my personal opinion), this will go down in history as one of the most popular programs in this country.
Again, that is my personal opinion.
By the way, I have not insulted you in any way, shape or form in my post. If you reply, I'd really appreciate it if you would grant me the same courtesy.
He bows to everyone, probably Michelle too! - nm

That's the best thing I've read in quite some time. - Thanks for posting.

Another trash piece on Obama by someone (sm) - Libby
[ In Reply To ..]named "Daniel S. Hudson," whoever THAT is.
It's misleading because of its title, and I'm wondering if any of the "likes" were accidentally clicked on this piece based on its misleading/fraudulent headline.
Or it could be that..... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]not everyone who comes here is smitten with Obama, actually read the post and liked the content and truth of the piece. My like was completely intentional, not by accident.
Oh and I noticed you only said the title was misleading/fraudulent; you did not say the content was.
Its a simple list of things Obama had done or are responsible for - J. Nicholson
[ In Reply To ..]Its a fact-base list of what he has done. Your post reminds me of Jack Nicholson who simply states "you can't handle the truth".
But it's not fact-based - sm
[ In Reply To ..]These are opinions. It's fine if the author of the article wants to state his opinions, but opinions are not facts.
So, enlighten us. Which parts are not true? - Go ahead, tell us.

[ In Reply To ..]Obama's 32 Month Report Card-Truth! & Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor:
A forwarded email with what the author calls the many "firsts" of President Barack Obama.
The Truth:
This eRumor appeared all over the Internet in November, 2011 and on various political web sites but it was not found on any major news sites. The email says only that is was authored by someone named Rich Carroll but does not identify him beyond that.
Let us look some of the topics in the article one at a time:
First President to refuse to show a valid birth certificate - Disputed!
Although there are those who dispute its validity, candidate Obama released of his birth certificate in 2008 and it was displayed on his Fight the Smears web site when questions about his citizenship were raised. Critics alleged that the document was a fake, or insufficient as proof for the office of the President. This stirred a frenzy of rumors including emails that contained faked documents including one made up to look like birth certificates from Kenya. Tow years later, in 2010, President Obama released what he said was his original long form birth certificate, from the state of Hawaii.. We have a page on the questionable citizenship of Barack Obama complete with photos of documents. Click for our findings.
First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner- Fiction!
This rumor originated from an April Fools Joke in 2009 featuring an alleged Associated Press story that said that Barack Obama received a grant from the "Fulbright Foundation" when he attended Occidental College in California. There is no "Fulbright Foundation" but there is a Fulbright program that is sponsored by the US Department of State and does award scholarship grants to students working towards higher degrees who already have a Bachelor of Arts degree.

First President to have a social security number from a state he has never lived in- Fiction!
Rumors about Obama's Social Security Number began circulating in 2010 alleging that the number belonged to a deceased man who immigrated to the U.S. from France and resided in Hawaii. That proved to be fiction. This sparked additional inquires as to why the President's Social Security Number began with 042, the three digit classification for Connecticut. According to the Social Security Administration, "The Area Number is assigned by the geographical region. Prior to 1972, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number represented the State in which the card was issued. This did not necessarily have to be the State where the applicant lived, since a person could apply for their card in any Social Security office." Click for Social Security site
First President to preside over a cut to the credit rating of the United States. - Truth!
On August 5, 2011, for the first time in the history of this nation, Standard and Poor's downgraded the US Credit Rating to one notch below AAA. According to a Washington Post article dated that same day, "the credit rating company said 'political brinkmanship' in the debate over the debt had made the U.S. government’s ability to manage its finances 'less stable, less effective and less predictable.' It said the bipartisan agreement reached this week to find at least $2.1 trillion in budget savings 'fell short' of what was necessary to tame the nation’s debt over time and predicted that leaders would not be likely to achieve more savings in the future."
First President to violate the War Powers Act. Fiction!
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 became federal law to prevent a president from committing the United States to an armed conflict without the approval from Congress. This law requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing U.S. armed forces to military action. It also limits U.S. involvement to no more than 60 days. In 2011 President Obama bypassed congressional approval for going into Libya, but he was not the first U.S. President to do so. The War Powers Resolution was first disregarded by President Clinton in 1999, during the bombing campaign in Kosovo.
First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. -Truth!
The President did order a moratorium on offshore drilling in waters deeper than 500 feet after the Deepwater Horizon Spill in the Gulf of Mexico in May 2010. The moratorium was struck down by New Orleans Judge Martin Feldman and according to a February 3, 2011 article in Bloomberg the Obama Administration was acting in contempt by continuing the policy. Felman's comments on the ruling were reported in the article. He said, “Each step the government took following the court’s imposition of a preliminary injunction showcases its defiance.” Feldman added, “Such dismissive conduct, viewed in tandem with the re-imposition of a second blanket and substantively identical moratorium, and in light of the national importance of this case, provide this court with clear and convincing evidence of the government’s contempt.”
First President to defy a Federal Judges court order to cease implementing the Health Care Reform Law.- Fiction!
The constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has been questioned by several courts in various states in the US since it was passed into law in March 21, 2010. According to an August 12, 2011 article in Reuters a U.S. Appeals Court for the 11th Circuit, based in Atlanta ruled that it was unconstitutional to require all Americans to buy insurance or face a penalty but it unanimously reversed a lower court decision that threw out the entire law.
First President to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party. - Too Vague to investigate.
We are not sure of what policy this is related to.
If the writer of the eRumor had in mind the Affordable Care Act then this would be Truth!. When the law makers wrote the HR-3590 bill, the Democratic majority House and Senate quickly passed it and the President signed it into law. It is doubtful that anybody in government who supported this bill actually read it, Buried inside the 2409 pages of the "Obamacare" law there is a stipulation known as the "Individual Mandate," where the Internal Revenue Service will collect a 2.5% penalty from tax returns not showing proof of enrollment of health insurance.
First President to spend a trillion dollars on shovel-ready jobs and later admit there was no such thing as shovel-ready jobs.- Inaccurate!
According to a September 26, 2011 article in Politico, President Obama did use the term "Shovel Ready Jobs" in a plan to fund $50 billion in improvements to highways, transit systems, railways and aviation. The idea was to put Americans back to work by construction upgrades to 150,000 miles of road, 4,000 miles of train tracks, 150 miles of airport runways and the nation’s air traffic control system. Political reported that experts did not see the jobs being as shovel ready as one would think as " A tremendous amount of money and time is needed to get a project through a detailed design process, permitting, environmental hurdles, public hearings and land acquisition."
First President to abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters.- Under Investigation
First President to by-pass Congress and implement the Dream Act through executive fiat. Fiction!
There was no such Executive Order. Click for our findings.
First President to order a secret amnesty program that stopped the deportation of illegal immigrants across the U.S. , including those with criminal convictions- Fiction!
This was not done is secret and according to an August 18, 2011 ABC News report, "The Obama administration announced a major change in policy for thousands of illegal immigrants going through deportation proceedings. They now may be able to stay in the country. There are currently 300,000 deportation cases making their way through the federal immigration courts, but under the new policy immigrants classified as low-priority cases could be granted a stay and a chance to apply for a work permit."
First President to demand a company hand-over $20 billion to one of his political appointees. - Too Vague to investigate.
We are not sure of what policy this is related to.
First President to terminate Americas ability to put a man in space. Fiction!
According to the St. Petersburg Times PolitiFact Check site, "Richard Nixon, perhaps in conjunction with Gerald Ford, would be the one to qualify for the unwanted title of "first president to terminate America’s ability to put a man in space" -- not Obama." The Apollo program ended in 1975 and had a five year gap in space launches until the Space Shuttle program was in full operation.
First President to encourage racial discrimination and intimidation at polling places. - Unproven!
On November 4, 2008 Black Panthers were spotted outside a polling place in Philadelphia, PA. One of the Black Panthers was holding a night stick. A YouTube Video taken by a local journalism student of an account with them went viral on the Internet and news outlets. A short time later, police arrived on the scene and they were removed from the scene. Charges of voter intimidation were charged but they were dropped by the Justice Department under the leadership of Eric Holder, according to an August 20, 2009 article in the Wall Street Journal. No explanation was given by Holder or anyone at the Department of Justice. The accusation that the President encouraged this incident remains unproven.
First President to have a law signed by an auto-pen without being present.- Truth!
According to a May 22, 2011 article in the New York Times this was a historical first when the President extended the Patriot Act by autopen during a weeklong trip in Europe.
First President to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it.- Too Vague to investigate.
We are not sure of what policy this is related to.
First President to threaten insurance companies if they publicly speak-out on the reasons for their rate increases.- Under Investigation
First President to tell a major manufacturing company in which state they are allowed to locate a factory.- Truth!
On April 20, 2011 the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) filed a complaint against the Boeing claiming that the aircraft manufacturer opened up a second 787 Dreamliner production line in South Carolina in retaliation against the union. South Carolina is a "right to work state."
On September 23, 2011 Politico.com reported that , "An Obama appointee is now asking a judge to order Boeing to relocate all 787 Dreamliner production to Washington state — a move that’s feeding the GOP narrative that Obama’s Big Government is meddling with job creation, just as the first plane nears its first commercial flight."
First President to file lawsuits against the states he swore an oath to protect (AZ, WI, OH, IN)- Fiction!
The oath of the President of the United States does not have any conditions to protect U.S. States. The oath of office is in the U.S. Constitution and it says, "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
First President to withdraw an existing coal permit that had been properly issued years ago.- Under Investigation
First President to fire an inspector general of Ameri-corps for catching one of his friends in a corruption case.- Under Investigation
First President to appoint 45 Czars to replace elected officials in his office.- Under Investigation
First President to golf 73 separate times in his first two and a half years in office.- Inaccurate!
According to a June 26, 2011 White House Dossier article, written by veteran White House reporter Keith Koffler, President Obama played his 75th golf game since being sworn into office. No doubt at the time of this writing the number is greater.
According to an October 24, 2009 article in Politico, Obama was in office about 10 months when he played his 24th golf game, tying his predecessor, G. W. Bush, for the number of golf games. It took Bush almost 3 years to play that number of games.
First President to hide his medical, educational and travel records.- Fiction!
There are no U.S. laws stating that a U.S. President or presidential candidate disclose his medical or educational background. In his books, Barack Obama wrote about his life in Indonesia. Questions about Obama's travels could have been sparked by a rumor that was spread on YouTube by Reverend James Manning of the ATLAH church in Harlem. Manning alleged that Obama, while attending Columbia University (Class of 1983), was recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency to be the operative in an arms deal with the Taliban. Manning said that Obama was selected because he was fluent in Farsi and Middle Eastern customs. President only speaks English fluently, has never learned Farsi and the Taliban did not exist until 1989.
First President to win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing NOTHING to earn it. Disputed!
The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Barack Obama on October 9, 2009 after he had been in office approximately 9 months. According to the Nobel Peace Prize website Obama was awarded this, "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples". On January 20, 2010 Britain's The Guardian released a timeline showing the major events during the President's fist year in office. In April 2009, Obama flew to England for the G-20 conference where he not only met with Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Gordon Brown but also met with Russian president Dmitry Medvedev to discuss U.S. and Russian relations.
First President to coddle American enemies while alienating Americas allies- Too Vague to investigate.
We are not sure of what policy this is related to.
First President to publicly bow to Americas enemies while refusing to salute the U.S. Flag. Fiction!
President Obama has been photographed bowing to foreign leaders during formal introductions. One of these leaders was Saudi Arabian King Abdullah. The U.S. is at war with a radical terrorist organization based in the Middle East called al-Queda, and neither Saudi Arabia or King Abdullah are considered an enemy of the U.S. Obama does not always follow the protocol of placing his hand over his heart when the National Anthem is played. Click for Findings on the bow. Click for findings on the salute.
First President to go on multiple global apology tours.- Disputed!
Obama did travel overseas and during his speeches make apologies for past American policies and arrogance. Former George W. Bush campaign manager, Karl Rove wrote an opinion on April 23, 2009 in the Wall Street Journal calling the Presidents trip an "Apology Tour".
In a June 17, 2009 Human Events article, attributed to Niles Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, the conservative newspaper listed ten apologies by President Obama:
1. Apology to Europe: Speech in Strasbourg, France, April 3. “In America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe‘s leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”
2. Apology to the Muslim world: Interview with Al Arabiya, January 27. “My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”
3. Apology to the Summit of the Americas: Address to the Summit of the Americas, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, April 17. “While the United States has done much to promote peace and prosperity in the hemisphere, we have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms.”
4. Apology at the G-20 Summit of World Leaders: News conference in London, April 2. “I just think in a world that is as complex as it is, that it is very important for us to be able to forge partnerships as opposed to simply dictating solutions.”
5. Apology for the War on Terror: Speech in Washington, D.C., May 21. “Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions. I believe that many of these decisions were motivated by a sincere desire to protect the American people. But I also believe that all too often our government made decisions based on fear rather than foresight, that all too often our government trimmed facts and evidence to fit ideological predispositions.”
6. Apology for Guantanamo in France: Speech in Strasbourg, France, April 3. “In dealing with terrorism, we can’t lose sight of our values and who we are. That’s why I closed Guantanamo. That’s why I made very clear that we will not engage in certain interrogation practices. I don’t believe that there is a contradiction between our security and our values. And when you start sacrificing your values, when you lose yourself, then over the long term that will make you less secure.”
7. Apology for America before the Turkish Parliament: Speech to the Turkish Parliament, Ankara, Turkey, April 6. “The United States is still working through some of our own darker periods in our history. Facing the Washington Monument that I spoke of is a memorial of Abraham Lincoln, the man who freed those who were enslaved even after Washington led our Revolution.

He also said, "Now part of this conviction is rooted in my own experience. I'm a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims. As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and at the fall of dusk. As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith."

[ In Reply To ..]This fantastical tale about President Barack Obama's having used a Social Security number (SSN) issued to a French immigrant named Jean Paul Ludwig, born in 1890, is easily debunked. As can be verified through the Social Security Death Index (SSDI), a database of death records created from the United States Social Security Administration's Death Master File Extract, the Social Security Administration was in fact informed of Ludwig's death, and the Social Security number assigned to him was not, as claimed, the same as that assigned to Barack Obama (042-68-4425), but rather a completely different number (045-26-8722). Ludwig also didn't pass away until 1981, by which time Barack Obama had long since been assigned a Social Security number of his own

[ In Reply To ..]This whole claim stems from the fact that a search of a personal information database back in 2011 showed that the name "Harrison J. Bounel" had been mistakenly cross-indexed with Barack Obama's home address and Social Security number. (This type of error is common in such databases and has since been corrected.) Aside from that temporary erroneous entry, there is no evidence whatsoever that Barack Obama ever used the name "Harrison J. Bounsel" as an alias, or that Barack Obama's Social Security number was originally issued to someone by that name.

[ In Reply To ..]The War Powers Resolution (it’s a resolution, not an act) has its constitutionality questioned by scholars in every single one of the fifty states, and has also been challenged by literally every single president we’ve had since 1973, but hey, let’s stay on topic. The debate over the War Powers Resolution’s role in our military history is murky at best, but strong arguments can be made that George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan all violated the act, in varying ways and to varying degrees.

[ In Reply To ..]First President to refuse to show a valid birth certificate - Disputed!
Although there are those who dispute its validity, candidate Obama released of his birth certificate in 2008 and it was displayed on his Fight the Smears web site when questions about his citizenship were raised. Critics alleged that the document was a fake, or insufficient as proof for the office of the President. This stirred a frenzy of rumors including emails that contained faked documents including one made up to look like birth certificates from Kenya. Tow years later, in 2010, President Obama released what he said was his original long form birth certificate, from the state of Hawaii..

First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner- Fiction!
This rumor originated from an April Fools Joke in 2009 featuring an alleged Associated Press story that said that Barack Obama received a grant from the "Fulbright Foundation" when he attended Occidental College in California. There is no "Fulbright Foundation" but there is a Fulbright program that is sponsored by the US Department of State and does award scholarship grants to students working towards higher degrees who already have a Bachelor of Arts degree.

First President to have a social security number from a state he has never lived in- Fiction!
Rumors about Obama's Social Security Number began circulating in 2010 alleging that the number belonged to a deceased man who immigrated to the U.S. from France and resided in Hawaii. That proved to be fiction. This sparked additional inquires as to why the President's Social Security Number began with 042, the three digit classification for Connecticut. According to the Social Security Administration, "The Area Number is assigned by the geographical region. Prior to 1972, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number represented the State in which the card was issued. This did not necessarily have to be the State where the applicant lived, since a person could apply for their card in any Social Security office." Click for Social Security site
First President to preside over a cut to the credit rating of the United States. - Truth!
On August 5, 2011, for the first time in the history of this nation, Standard and Poor's downgraded the US Credit Rating to one notch below AAA. According to a Washington Post article dated that same day, "the credit rating company said 'political brinkmanship' in the debate over the debt had made the U.S. government’s ability to manage its finances 'less stable, less effective and less predictable.' It said the bipartisan agreement reached this week to find at least $2.1 trillion in budget savings 'fell short' of what was necessary to tame the nation’s debt over time and predicted that leaders would not be likely to achieve more savings in the future."
First President to violate the War Powers Act. Fiction!
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 became federal law to prevent a president from committing the United States to an armed conflict without the approval from Congress. This law requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing U.S. armed forces to military action. It also limits U.S. involvement to no more than 60 days. In 2011 President Obama bypassed congressional approval for going into Libya, but he was not the first U.S. President to do so. The War Powers Resolution was first disregarded by President Clinton in 1999, during the bombing campaign in Kosovo.
First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. -Truth!
The President did order a moratorium on offshore drilling in waters deeper than 500 feet after the Deepwater Horizon Spill in the Gulf of Mexico in May 2010. The moratorium was struck down by New Orleans Judge Martin Feldman and according to a February 3, 2011 article in Bloomberg the Obama Administration was acting in contempt by continuing the policy. Felman's comments on the ruling were reported in the article. He said, “Each step the government took following the court’s imposition of a preliminary injunction showcases its defiance.” Feldman added, “Such dismissive conduct, viewed in tandem with the re-imposition of a second blanket and substantively identical moratorium, and in light of the national importance of this case, provide this court with clear and convincing evidence of the government’s contempt.”
First President to defy a Federal Judges court order to cease implementing the Health Care Reform Law.- Fiction!
The constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has been questioned by several courts in various states in the US since it was passed into law in March 21, 2010. According to an August 12, 2011 article in Reuters a U.S. Appeals Court for the 11th Circuit, based in Atlanta ruled that it was unconstitutional to require all Americans to buy insurance or face a penalty but it unanimously reversed a lower court decision that threw out the entire law.
First President to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party. - Too Vague to investigate.
We are not sure of what policy this is related to.
If the writer of the eRumor had in mind the Affordable Care Act then this would be Truth!. When the law makers wrote the HR-3590 bill, the Democratic majority House and Senate quickly passed it and the President signed it into law. It is doubtful that anybody in government who supported this bill actually read it, Buried inside the 2409 pages of the "Obamacare" law there is a stipulation known as the "Individual Mandate," where the Internal Revenue Service will collect a 2.5% penalty from tax returns not showing proof of enrollment of health insurance.
First President to spend a trillion dollars on shovel-ready jobs and later admit there was no such thing as shovel-ready jobs.- Inaccurate!
According to a September 26, 2011 article in Politico, President Obama did use the term "Shovel Ready Jobs" in a plan to fund $50 billion in improvements to highways, transit systems, railways and aviation. The idea was to put Americans back to work by construction upgrades to 150,000 miles of road, 4,000 miles of train tracks, 150 miles of airport runways and the nation’s air traffic control system. Political reported that experts did not see the jobs being as shovel ready as one would think as " A tremendous amount of money and time is needed to get a project through a detailed design process, permitting, environmental hurdles, public hearings and land acquisition."

This was not done is secret and according to an August 18, 2011 ABC News report, "The Obama administration announced a major change in policy for thousands of illegal immigrants going through deportation proceedings. They now may be able to stay in the country. There are currently 300,000 deportation cases making their way through the federal immigration courts, but under the new policy immigrants classified as low-priority cases could be granted a stay and a chance to apply for a work permit."

First President to terminate Americas ability to put a man in space. Fiction!
According to the St. Petersburg Times PolitiFact Check site, "Richard Nixon, perhaps in conjunction with Gerald Ford, would be the one to qualify for the unwanted title of "first president to terminate America’s ability to put a man in space" -- not Obama." The Apollo program ended in 1975 and had a five year gap in space launches until the Space Shuttle program was in full operation.
First President to encourage racial discrimination and intimidation at polling places. - Unproven!
On November 4, 2008 Black Panthers were spotted outside a polling place in Philadelphia, PA. One of the Black Panthers was holding a night stick. A YouTube Video taken by a local journalism student of an account with them went viral on the Internet and news outlets. A short time later, police arrived on the scene and they were removed from the scene. Charges of voter intimidation were charged but they were dropped by the Justice Department under the leadership of Eric Holder, according to an August 20, 2009 article in the Wall Street Journal. No explanation was given by Holder or anyone at the Department of Justice. The accusation that the President encouraged this incident remains unproven.

On September 23, 2011 Politico.com reported that , "An Obama appointee is now asking a judge to order Boeing to relocate all 787 Dreamliner production to Washington state — a move that’s feeding the GOP narrative that Obama’s Big Government is meddling with job creation, just as the first plane nears its first commercial flight."
First President to file lawsuits against the states he swore an oath to protect (AZ, WI, OH, IN)- Fiction!
The oath of the President of the United States does not have any conditions to protect U.S. States.

According to an October 24, 2009 article in Politico, Obama was in office about 10 months when he played his 24th golf game, tying his predecessor, G. W. Bush, for the number of golf games. It took Bush almost 3 years to play that number of games.
First President to hide his medical, educational and travel records.- Fiction!
There are no U.S. laws stating that a U.S. President or presidential candidate disclose his medical or educational background. In his books, Barack Obama wrote about his life in Indonesia. Questions about Obama's travels could have been sparked by a rumor that was spread on YouTube by Reverend James Manning of the ATLAH church in Harlem. Manning alleged that Obama, while attending Columbia University (Class of 1983), was recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency to be the operative in an arms deal with the Taliban. Manning said that Obama was selected because he was fluent in Farsi and Middle Eastern customs. President only speaks English fluently, has never learned Farsi and the Taliban did not exist until 1989.
First President to win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing NOTHING to earn it. Disputed!
The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Barack Obama on October 9, 2009 after he had been in office approximately 9 months. According to the Nobel Peace Prize website Obama was awarded this, "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples". On January 20, 2010 Britain's The Guardian released a timeline showing the major events during the President's fist year in office. In April 2009, Obama flew to England for the G-20 conference where he not only met with Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Gordon Brown but also met with Russian president Dmitry Medvedev to discuss U.S. and Russian relations.

First President to go on multiple global apology tours.- Disputed!
Obama did travel overseas and during his speeches make apologies for past American policies and arrogance. Former George W. Bush campaign manager, Karl Rove wrote an opinion on April 23, 2009 in the Wall Street Journal calling the Presidents trip an "Apology Tour".
In a June 17, 2009 Human Events article, attributed to Niles Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, the conservative newspaper listed ten apologies by President Obama:
1. Apology to Europe: Speech in Strasbourg, France, April 3. “In America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe‘s leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”
2. Apology to the Muslim world: Interview with Al Arabiya, January 27. “My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”
3. Apology to the Summit of the Americas: Address to the Summit of the Americas, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, April 17. “While the United States has done much to promote peace and prosperity in the hemisphere, we have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms.”
4. Apology at the G-20 Summit of World Leaders: News conference in London, April 2. “I just think in a world that is as complex as it is, that it is very important for us to be able to forge partnerships as opposed to simply dictating solutions.”
5. Apology for the War on Terror: Speech in Washington, D.C., May 21. “Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions. I believe that many of these decisions were motivated by a sincere desire to protect the American people. But I also believe that all too often our government made decisions based on fear rather than foresight, that all too often our government trimmed facts and evidence to fit ideological predispositions.”
6. Apology for Guantanamo in France: Speech in Strasbourg, France, April 3. “In dealing with terrorism, we can’t lose sight of our values and who we are. That’s why I closed Guantanamo. That’s why I made very clear that we will not engage in certain interrogation practices. I don’t believe that there is a contradiction between our security and our values. And when you start sacrificing your values, when you lose yourself, then over the long term that will make you less secure.”
7. Apology for America before the Turkish Parliament: Speech to the Turkish Parliament, Ankara, Turkey, April 6. “The United States is still working through some of our own darker periods in our history. Facing the Washington Monument that I spoke of is a memorial of Abraham Lincoln, the man who freed those who were enslaved even after Washington led our Revolution. Our country still struggles with the legacies of slavery and segregation, the past treatment of Native Americans.”
8. Apology for U.S. Policy toward the Americas: Editorial “Choosing a Better Future in the Americas,” April 16. “Too often, the United States has not pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors. We have been too easily distracted by other priorities, and have failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas.”
9. Apology for the Mistakes of the CIA: Remarks to CIA employees at Langley, Va., April 29. “Don’t be discouraged that we have to acknowledge potentially we’ve made some mistakes.”
10. Apology for Guantanamo: Speech in Washington, D.C., May 21. “There is also no question that Guantanamo set back the moral authority that is America’s strongest currency in the world.”
On the other hand, The FactChecker at the Washington Post said on February 22, 2011, that they "concluded that 'the claim that Obama repeatedly has apologized for the United States is not borne out by the fact, especially if his full quotes are viewed in context.'"

Has Anyone Quit Drinking Soda Completely?Jan 08, 2015
I recently decided to quit drinking soda for the billionth time. I have been a soda drinker since I was around 5-years-old in the 80s as my parents were also soda drinkers. Everyday my Mom would park outside and send me in to get our daily 6-pack of Pepsi. I was known as the Pepsi girl in the drug store we used to get it from. I had always been a small person even after three children (a daughter and twin boys) 5'3" 120 pounds, but after I hit 32 or so, I really star ...

Obama's Manning Decision: Obama's Dangerous Move Reveals Scary Take On National SecurityJan 18, 2017
The commutation of Chelsea Manning’s prison term will forever be a blot on President Obama’s legacy. Just as the pardon granted Marc Rich by President Clinton on his last day in office became a totem of the odious pay-to-play money grubbing of Bill and Hillary, l’affaire Manning will be an enduring reminder of Obama’s constant pandering to special voter groups and mindless adherence to a progressive agenda. It will also stand as testimony to President Obama’s questionable fealty to ...

ObamaAug 26, 2011
You know.. really.. the guy didn't stand a chance. I've heard from seemingly normal folks that he was: 1. The anti-Christ. 2. A Muslim from Kenya. 3. The birth certificate. 4. He's going to turn the good ol' US of A into a Socialist country. 5. He'll take away our guns. The only thing wrong with Obama is that he hasn't stood up to the republicans. The fella needs a little bit of the ol' Cheney (who giv ...
Way To Go ObamaJul 29, 2010
I just heard that today Obama signed the Tribal Law and Order Act. I may not know what this bill means in total, but my understanding is that it is to support justice on the reservations against violent crimes. I'll read more about it, but what I'm seeing so far of it I think it's a good thing. I have stated in the past if I feel he does something good I will post here and that's what I'm doing. I think this is a good thing (at least from what ...
