How the 99 percent fly (hint: it's not in business class) | Al Jazeera America

Here's a really big success.
For example, in the slowly recovering U.S. economy, luxury goods strongly outpace overall retail sales; five-star hotels are seeing the most robust growth of any segment in the hotel industry; and tier-scale penthouses in Manhattan have tipped the $100 million mark. Gulfstream has racked up more than 200 orders for its new globe-spanning G650 private jet, which lists at $65 million "green" – that is, before the millions more that a buyer must spend on soft-leather seats and other luxury cabin fittings. Not to mention paying a crew to fly the plane on demand.

41. Avoided Scandal: As of November 2011, served longer than any president in decades without a scandal, as measured by the appearance of the word “scandal” (or lack thereof) on the front page of the Washington Post.

So a liberal newspaper did not use the word scandal for the first 2 1/2 years of his Presidency on the front page and that is a great accomplishment? Seriously? If that be the case, is it safe to say that his second term is a complete failure because his administration is chock full of them now?

Why is it when we talk about #2. Passed the Stimulus in a positive light it was Obama that passed it, but when it is talked about in a negative light, it was started with Bush?

#13 is a lie.

#16. Every President had done the same in his time.

Was #25 an accomplishment?

#35 was not an accomplishment. He killed the space program.

#36. Invested Heavily in Renewable Technology - An accomplishment is supposed to be something positive.

Most of the ítems are he signed something but had really nothing to do with getting the legislation done.

#48 wasn't so much an accomplishment as a scam.

I don't think the autor knows what the Word accomplishment means.
