Specific Policy complaints/Criticisms about Obama?

[thinker]

What are your specific policy complaints/criticisms about President Obama?

By "Specific" I mean actual things he has done, not your interpretation of something a pundit said once.

For example "Health Care is Socialism" is not what I mean.

But, "He campaigned to end the Iraq war, but has failed to do so" is.

[fastsam]

Said he did not like America.
Said civil rights movement did not go far enough
Surrounded himself with avowed communist
Is a marxist
Printed more money than in the history of man
put our children in debt for life
the list goes on and on and on
Has lied to America everyday in office.

[Clyde Nocar]

He has thrown hundred of billions of dollars at black organizations like ACORN and all its off shoot subsidiaries.He is attempting to control all forms of media including silencing any form of criticism.(This should be fun, we can add to the list all day long)

He did? When?

What bothers you about this?

"Surrounds"? "Avowed"? Prove this.

fastsam wrote:

Prove this.

fastsam wrote:

The history of man? Him specifically, or under his watch?

fastsam wrote:

Obama did that?

fastsam wrote:

While i agree with your concern over debt, the rest sound a bit odd to me. Could you list more from this infinite list?

fastsam wrote:

Really? I mean, I'm sure he does, but can you list specifics? You don't even have to list all of them. Just the last three weeks should do.

He gave ACORN "hundred of billions of dollars"? When?

How has he tried to control all forms of media? By saying Fox isn't News?

ACORN was going to be receiving I do not know how much in federal funding as well as have a hand in the census before the whole scandal that enticed the census bureau and the Obama administration to cut ties with them.

They toyed with the idea of reintroducing the "Fairness Doctrine" and have campaigned against Fox News which can be seen as bullying or trying to silence opposing views.

Who knows, it might not be his intention to silence certain media outlets, but it sure comes across that way. Why else would he call out a news network so publicly?

[CJB]

By publicly calling out Fox News and denying them the time of day, what kind of message is that sending to other news networks?

What? If you say something I disagree with, I will not talk to you or allow you to even be in my presence?

If that is not intimidation, I don't know what is.

Obamabot shills like Wait a minute never accept their boy could possibly do anything wrong. Just a waste trying to convince them otherwise.

I know there is no real hope of winning arguments on these boards and convincing someone they are wrong.

If it was their boy sending people to concentration camps, they would find a way to justify it on here and abroad.

The truth is out there in the open and still they refuse to accept it.

Neither of these examples prove the initial statement, though, and you know it. He didnt give them "hundreds of billions" and the "Fairness doctrine" wouldn't limit impose the limits originally implied.

Ha! Obama Shill! That's rich. What have I written here that is an endorsement of Obama? I actually voted Ron Paul, as if that matters. I just notice you people like to make really asinine critiques of the Obama administration.

I notice you didn't respond to my critique of your opinion-filled post at all, choosing instead to slander my character and assuming I'm a "liberal". Not really the best technique for proving any actual points.

What I think you don't see is how people like you are being spotlighted by the media to further discredit the Conservative movement and any substantive criticism of the Obama Administration, their ties to Corporate power, their corporate bailouts, yet-unmet promises about disengagement in Iraq, etc, by association.

I'm sorry. Who is sending who to concentration camps?

Indeed. But just saying "the truth is out there" is little more than a slogan from the X-Files in terms of proving the kind of random, baseless hubris put forth in this thread thus far.

The title of the topic is "Specific Policy Complaints". No one has given any yet.

I laughed while noticing this, too. I guess just calling anyone an Obamabot is the best specific policy complaints they can come up with.

No one is thankfully. You know what I mean so quit beating around the bush. It was not meant to be taken literally you Obamasquare!! It was a reference as to how you Obama worshipers will follow your boy no matter what he says or does. I have yet to see anything in your posts to suggest otherwise, so I stand by my statement.

Remove the Obamagoggles already. There have been plenty. You just have not been reading.

I never said he did give them hundreds of billions. If you look back, you will see that I said ACORN was going to be getting funding from the government. Then they were exposed and the deal is off.

How is it you voted for Ron Paul and support Obama? Paul is like the anti-Obama.

One can only hope for the day this country is finally ready for the likes of Ron Paul.

Face it, Obama is just more of the same. I do not care what he says about "change". Obama, Change* we can believe in!!

[Zonga]

Obambam is escalating the war in Afghanistan.

Escalating the war in Pakistan, no wait, we haven't declared war on Pakistan, in fact we don't even have a tissue of UN BS to cover that.

Obambam allowed the US to vote down the Goldstone report.

Obambam cap N trade BS

Global warming goes with cap n trade BS

Obambam's 'stimulation spending'

ObamBam's 'Hate Crime bill' he signed the damn thing.

The effing national "bend over we'll drive" health care nonsense.

Obambam has the same spend, borrow, print out of thin air monetary policy as the damn presidunce before him.

Obambam does not want provisions of the Patriot Act to sunset.

Obambam supports warrant-less wire taps.

Did I mention spending?

He has not apparently ended torture at Bagram prison - rumored, prolly true.

Obambam has not put an end to 'extrodinary' rendition.

Bailouts, more bailouts.

Wealth destruction, distribution.

Appointed Clinton Administration retreads.

APPOINTED THE HYSTERICAL NEOCON WAR MONGERING NUKES ON THE TABLE HILLARY CLINTON TO FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THAT MONSTER MCNAMARA and that other monster Madeline "It Was Worth It Killing 500,000 Iraqi Children" Albright, and that other monster Kissinger, and that other monster and so on.

Wants a civilian army more powerful than the US military - I suppose that means they will control their own death drones.

Letting Israel get away with constantly threatening to bomb Iran with out weapons.

Obambam is letting Israel get away with building illegal settlements.

Cash for clunkers.

Tax credit for home buyers.

No COL for pensioners.

Has not pulled troops out of Iraq.

Has not, as far as I know, examined any of The Shrub's signing statements or canceled any of them for being unconstitutional.

Allows Pelosi to run like a rabid female dog around DC and the rest of the effing country.

Transparency has turned into opacity - including keeping the list of White House visitors a secret, except for a few imbeciles who happen to be celebrities.

Liar - regarding illegal aliens and health care, and cooling ICE.

Did I mention allowing the totally disgraced Keynesian school of economists to advise his monetary policy?

Allowing a tax cheat to become Sec of Treasury.

Hiring more and more mercenaries to fight for Uncle Sam.

Hiring the putz hit-man with dual citizenship, Rahm for chief of staff.

ACCEPTED the Nobel Peace prize but has but has DONE nothing for PEACE.

Took a junket to beg for the Olympic games for effing Chicago.

Backed down after calling out that power crazed cop who arrested a man in his own home for disturbing the peace.

Doesn't send his kids to public school, just like all the White House jackasses before him.

Hasn't declared that all gooberment critters including the House and Senate and the Supreme Court and the president himself will have to take Obama-care.

I think this list might be a start for your requested complaints and criticisms about Obambam.

[Zonga]

Letting Israel get away with constantly threatening to bomb Iran with out weapons.

Should be:

Letting Israel get away with constantly threatening to bomb Iran with OUR weapons.

[munkey]

Good job, Zonga.

While I disagree with some of what you list, I am glad to see you are at least able to list "Specific Policy Decisions" instead of making the kinds of baseless accusations (and then backing off of them when pressured for proof) as others above have.

You get a gold star!

So, you appear to disagree with the US war(s) in the middle east. Do you think Obama should bring the troops home?
