Should Kerry have lied about meeting with the PLO regarding the UN resolution

One of the sad things is Obama promised to be a rock star diplomat between the Muslim world and the west, but it's only gotten worse under him.
Absolutely false as the Arab states largely hated Bush according to polls taken when he was president. Please do the research before making such absurd claims.

Let's examine it.


1. And the growth of the economy is still under performing (according to what?)
2. This is an "achievement" (a very important one)
3. Which is self-imploding and will be repelled and replaced (it's not imploding and can't be replaced with nothing)
4. Which has stymied the economic growth of the country and will be repelled (no it hasn't)
5. He extended President Bush's tax cuts. (you're against that?)
6. No he gave his permission for the mission after years of previous administrations intel gathering. Has sent more troops back into Iraq and Afghanistan. Suggested that his action cause the rise of ISIS (nope, Bush didn't want him, Saudi connections)
7. An accomplishment? (one that Trump won't be able to accomplish)
8. That one is going to bite him in the arse (? When? No examples, nothing. Iran is weaker now.)
9. Even the Hillary and labor unions thought this was a bad idea and will probably be renegotiated or cancelled (possibly)
10. Doesn't have any legs to stand on (climate change is real, thankfully we have experts who know more than you)
11. Labor participation rate is at miserable figures and most jobs created are part time and wages have stagnated due to his policies.(nope, unemployment rate is near record lows. economy is doing great)

So, what has he really achieved? (saved America from a republican regime disaster)

1. And the growth of the economy is still under performing (according to what?)
http://www.usnews.com/news/the-report/articles/2015/08/23/the-part-time-economic-recovery
"The American economy remains weak. Growth is at the lowest level in more than three decades. We created 54,000 fewer jobs in April and May than originally estimated, and the 215,000 jobs in July did not change the picture of a weakening jobs market. Wages have been rising at the slowest pace since the 1980s."
2. This is an "achievement" (a very important one)
Number 2 was received the Nobel Peace Prize. He received this in 2009, since then he has helped depose an leader of a country and destabilize that country. Surged troops into Afghanistan, increased troop presence in Iraq, authorized bombing missions in Syria, used drones to kill in different parts of the world, committed US military forces in Iraq in direct confrontations, sent SpecOps personnel into Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, different countries in Africa, and other areas of the world (I'm not in disagreement with all of these, just that it was the "Peace Prize".
3. Which is self-imploding and will be repelled and replaced (it's not imploding and can't be replaced with nothing)
Number 3 was Reformed Health Care. Even President Clinton said it is( and I quote) "the craziest thing in the world". Insurance companies are dropping out of the plan, doctors are dropping out of accepting ACA patients, young people are taking the penalty vice signing-up. It will be repealed and replaced and that is not "nothing"
4. Which has stymied the economic growth of the country and will be repelled (no it hasn't)
Number 4 was regulated big banks. Dodd-Frank will be repelled and financial rules will be overhauld
5. He extended President Bush's tax cuts. (you're against that?)
No, but I see this as an accomplishment of President Bush and all the Obama did was extend them. If you want to call it an accomplishment it's fine with me.
6. No he gave his permission for the mission after years of previous administrations intel gathering. Has sent more troops back into Iraq and Afghanistan. Suggested that his action cause the rise of ISIS (nope, Bush didn't want him, Saudi connections)
Yes you are somewhat correct. We could have got him. Story is Boneheads
But since it's from your favorite boogyman media source it must be wrong.
7. An accomplishment? (one that Trump won't be able to accomplish)
Agree he did get re-elected in 2012. But saying that President-elect Trump will not win reelection is only speculation....which you seem to excel at.
8. That one is going to bite him in the arse (? When? No examples, nothing. Iran is weaker now.)
Guess you really do not do any research.
Iran deal will haunt the Middle East in the future
9. Even the Hillary and labor unions thought this was a bad idea and will probably be renegotiated or cancelled (possibly)
Item 9 was about the TPP. Sure it's possible that the TPP will not be renegotiated but it is also possible and more than likely it will
10. Doesn't have any legs to stand on (climate change is real, thankfully we have experts who know more than you)
Item 10 was International Climate Change Agreement. Sorry Charlie this agreement is not binding on the U.S. and was not approved by Congress.
11. Labor participation rate is at miserable figures and most jobs created are part time and wages have stagnated due to his policies.(nope, unemployment rate is near record lows. economy is doing great)
Apple and oranges see Item 1 above for your edification.
So, what has he really achieved? (saved America from a republican regime disaster)
Seems that the Republicans have done exceptional well in the years of the Obama. The Dem's are at their lowest number in all forms of government.

Now I will give you a real achievement of the Obama. He has been the driving factor in the increase of sales of firearms in history. He is firearm manufactures best salesman.


How say you now?

And I leave you with this

usnews.com isn't credible. But the economy is stronger now than when that piece was written. Wages haven't increased due to republicans.

Number 2 was received the Nobel Peace Prize. He received this in 2009, since then he has helped depose an leader of a country and destabilize that country. Surged troops into Afghanistan, increased troop presence in Iraq, authorized bombing missions in Syria, used drones to kill in different parts of the world, committed US military forces in Iraq in direct confrontations, sent SpecOps personnel into Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, different countries in Africa, and other areas of the world (I'm not in disagreement with all of these, just that it was the "Peace Prize".
It was awarded to him at the time.

Number 3 was Reformed Health Care. Even President Clinton said it is( and I quote) "the craziest thing in the world". Insurance companies are dropping out of the plan, doctors are dropping out of accepting ACA patients, young people are taking the penalty vice signing-up. It will be repealed and replaced and that is not "nothing"
None of that is true. Having something replaced with 'nothing' is still nothing. There is no republican plan. They want to go back to before the ACA. You must understand by now that republicans are in the pockets of the insurance co's right?

Number 4 was regulated big banks. Dodd-Frank will be repelled and financial rules will be overhauld
Take risks again right?
No, but I see this as an accomplishment of President Bush and all the Obama did was extend them. If you want to call it an accomplishment it's fine with me.
The recession had something to do with the extension.
Yes you are somewhat correct. We could have got him. Story is Boneheads
But since it's from your favorite boogyman media source it must be wrong.
The fact remains that Bush had many years to take care of it, Obama got it done.

Agree he did get re-elected in 2012. But saying that President-elect Trump will not win reelection is only speculation....which you seem to excel at.
It is speculation, maybe russia will hack again and give the information to republicans and their media.

I do, Iran has drastically had their nuclear weapon program dismantled.

Item 9 was about the TPP. Sure it's possible that the TPP will not be renegotiated but it is also possible and more than likely it will
I don't care for the TPP, but republicans do.

Item 10 was International Climate Change Agreement. Sorry Charlie this agreement is not binding on the U.S. and was not approved by Congress.
Doesn't matter if it's binding or not.

Apple and oranges see Item 1 above for your edification.
No

Yep, propaganda is powerful. Fake news and disinformation has been all over RW media. They even made movies about Obama/Hillary/ Benghazi in the theatres, hehe
Now I will give you a real achievement of the Obama. He has been the driving factor in the increase of sales of firearms in history. He is firearm manufactures best salesman.
Yep, it's easy to demonize a president and scare people into buying more guns and ammo. Is the NRA still lying to you? The NRA and manufacturers have found that if they scare the populace, that equates to more $$$.


How say you now?
I say you need to watch news sometime.

He was one of the greatest presidents the world has seen. Ask them.

"At the time" (your words not mine) he had been president for only a few months. What exactly did he do in those two months that elevated him to being one of the greatest?
