What meaningful successes has Obama had since being elected?

He didn't start any new wars.

he hasn't caused any new recessions.

Maybe for the village idiot. :mrgreen:
 
Bush did indeed end the gun running that was later expanded by the chump in chief.

show us any cite which supports your contention
fast and furious was but a successor to the shrub's gunwalking activities

Wide Receiver - The number of guns used in the operation from the beginning until the end of the operation was 300
Fast & Furious - The number of guns used in the operation from the beginning until the end of the operation was 2,000

Wide Receiver - Guns were traced with miniature tracking devices and constant surveillance from ground and air.
Fast & Furious - No tracking devices were used, no surveillance was made whatsoever.


Wide Receiver - ATF agents were ordered to follow the gun smugglers every step of their trip from the gun store to the US/Mexico border.

Fast & Furious - ATF agents were ordered to stand down and not follow the gun smugglers after they left the gun store. The only surveillance was made through the gun store own video cameras; after gun smugglers left the store, the ATF agents were expressly ordered not to pursue.


Wide Receiver - Mexican army and police was in the loop about Wide Receiver. They took over the surveillance of the gun smugglers after they crossed with the guns in Mexico.

Fast & Furious - Mexican authorities were kept in the dark by the ATF and the US DOJ. They had no idea about Fast & Furious and the fact that guns provided to gun smugglers by the American authorities were "walked" in Mexico into the hands of drug cartel murderers.

Wide Receiver - When a small number of guns (30-40) were lost due to the malfunctioning tracking devices and / or because the gun smugglers figured out they were watched from a surveillance airplane flying overhead and learned how to take cover and evade, the operation Wide Receiver was immediately aborted and cancelled.

Fast and Furious - Operation continued even after ATF and DOJ lost track of all 2,000 guns sold to Mexican drug cartels

Wide Receiver - The operation was planned in such a way the gun smugglers and their cargo were kept under surveillance step by step, from the gun store to the US/Mexico border, across the border into Mexico and to their final destination: the hands of the drug cartel killers. This led to 1,400 arrests made in joint operations by the Mexican authorities and DEA and ATF agents. No lost Wide Receiver guns were recovered at crime scenes in Mexico or the US.

Fast & Furious - The operation was planned to let the guns go without any surveillance. Guns were supposed to be recovered at the murder scenes. One of the 150+ murder scenes where Fast & Furious guns were recovered was that of US border patrol agent Brian Terry; another one was the murder scene of ICE agent Jaime Zapata. So far DOJ and ATF didn't came with any explanation about how they were planning to make arrests of the drug cartel murderers BEFORE THEY KILLED PEOPLE with the Fast & Furious guns, and how they were supposed to do those arrest in Mexico without the Mexican authorities knowing anything about this operation.

Fast & Furious results: 300+Mexican citizens murdered; 2 US Federal agents murdered. And then Holder, who attempted to blame his disastrous actions on Bush, was forced to recant his statements.



Heres more info on the operation under Bush where nobody died....

Yeah ...because there's nothing better for the country than more UN-necessary wars, no funding for the VA to prepare for the wounded, tax cut for the wealthy ...and thousands of job loss every month!!

If that's what America needs ....then we need Bush again!! :mrgreen:
 
while i am enjoying my banana split, please show me where the shrub ended his gunwalking program

See the links I spoon fed you, 2007. Eric Holder made your same discredited claims, and he was forced to recant his statement. You really should be thanking me for educating you.

nope
it does not say that the program ended in 2007
find a chimp to read it for you. or, if you insist i am wrong, copy and paste the statement showing the shrub ended his gunrunning activities in 2007
hint: you are assuming something which is not stated
now go get me that excerpt or fetch me my banana
 

Indictments began in 2010, over three years after Wide Receiver concluded.

You have slipped on your peel, monkey. Hope I dont have to rub your monkey face in the article for you to be able to read.

Moderator's Warning:
bubba and US Con. Both of you stop the personal attacks or infractions will be in your future.
 

You do recall... the Party of Obama had control of both chambers? He could have rammed through almost anything and he did.

I am happy to see any and every knee capping of this idiot. Stopping any and every one of his destructive socialist schemes. He's spent 6 trillion... whada we have for it? Nada.

Fewer people have insurance.
There is no ferderal right to gay marriage. They are state issues.
Obama has prevented the economy from recovering and has wasted a trillion a year with his idiocies.
ObamaKare is an abortion. Perhaps it's why it's so dear to Demokrat's hearts.

I do like his drone program. But watch when a R takes the helm and continues it. I predict protests by the dimwitted leftists here and in Europe.
GITMO... I like the terrorists rotting where they are.
Obama has been a buffoon in foreign policy, and pissed in the face of the Afghani's. Not wise. Today we learn Karzai won't meet with him. The Saudi's kicked Obama in the balls and told him to piss off (not covered in the press).

Obama has virtually no positive accomplishements. He is an incompetent with a Dr. Seuss world view.

I look forward to having adults running the show instead of some 3rd rate Commi Organizer.
 

Nailed it. And like a cheap prostitute hes now in Astan, trying his chump best to do damage control. But we know. And so will voters this fall.
 

Wow, it's all the Wingnut Greatest Hits. Thanks for reaffirming that you are not to be taken seriously.
 
He closed Gitmo...oops.
He balanced the budget...oops.
He stopped getting brave Americans killed in pointless wars...oops.
He refused to assassinate Americans without a trial...oops.
He didn't raise the national debt by 50%...oops.
He stopped bombing other countries without a declaration of war...oops.
He stopped being responsible for killing hundreds of innocent civilians in foreign counties...oops.
He didn't get fat...SUCCESS!!!
