The list goes on, and all of this accomplished while the repugnicant's are actively waging a legislative blockade and propaganda war on him rather than come together in a meaningful bipartisan way to DO THEIR JOBS!
^^^ Agreed ^^^ Agreed ^^^
 I fear that we are asking to much from a republican to ask them to do their jobs....
But, then I remember that republicans view their jobs as to stop government, and to this end they have made huge advances all while Obama did all that without them....
They are f*#king retarded to the core! (sorry for the indiscretion, I too am retarded in a way)

I didn't answer your question because... for the most part... you were just being an as#@&%e.
Sorry to offend your fragile sensibilities. I'm sure no one here could say the same thing about you...
But being caught up doesn't excuse poor monitoring of healthcare workers involved with infected patients. Infected healthcare workers on planes and cruises... WTF? Slack.
Yes, it's all his fault. He is from Kenya after all and he should personally know everyone aboard an outbound African flight, even if they lie about their health status.. We should just get rid of the CDC because Obama is an expert on medicine. Do you know anything about infectious disease besides what you hear on fox or breitbart? I've been working in healthcare for almost 30 years as a researcher and as a care provider. I think I have a grasp of what real threat this virus is. What are your creds?
The stock market has been constantly pumped up by the government since Obama took office. Coincidentally, last week's freefall ended after some soothing words from Fed President James Bullard (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).
The stock market has been bouyed by the Fed since the big crash on bush's watch. Just interesting that it's done so much better under Obama's reign.
Falling oil prices may be good for consumers, but you gotta wonder what's behind the drop in demand (hint, hint).
Oooh! Conspiracy theory! Yes, it's all about the elections. Perhaps you might go on the google and find out what's really happening.
Real wages are no better than the were in April of '09 (at the bottom of the recession), even though corporate profits have skyrocketed.
Of course that depends on how you measure them. The WTI (wage trend index) has risen steadily since Q4 2013 and is projected to increase another 2% in 2015. Corporate profit reports are hugely skewed by the bailout.
And about healthcare now being available for millions of people who couldn't get it/afford it... does that explain the number of uninsured Americans was higher in the Feb '14 - April '14, than in 2013?
Don't know where you pulled that out of. The Commonwealth Fund reported in July 2014 that an additional 9.5 million people aged 19-64 had obtained health insurance, roughly 5% of the working-aged population. Gallup reported in July 2014 that the uninsured rate among adults 18 and over fell from 18.0% in Q3 2013 to 13.4% by Q2 2014. Rand Corporation had similar findings.
Gitmo is still open
Yes, that is a problem. He did promise. But I guess you expect him to be perfect on all fronts.
Iraq is seriously f*#ked up. Bush gets most of the blame. But Obama gets partial credit, too.
'Splain. British tried, Russians tried, Ghengis Khan tried. The genie's out of the bottle in the middle east and it was bush that broke it. Let's hear your plan and maybe you can email it to our fearless leader for his edification.
So, what you're really talking about is same sex marriage. I'm not sure what Obama had to do with it.
No, I'm talking about a president who has tried many, many times since Day 1 to reach a bipartisan consensus on matters important to the U.S. but has been blocked by a bunch of 12 year olds who have gone on record to say their Job #1 is to defeat President Obama, NOT to do what's best for the country. Get it?
As far as gay rights go, Obama has many times reaffirmed his belief that all citizens should be treated with respect and not discrimination. He did backtrack on his marriage stance, but that shows a leader who is willing to revisit the issue and change his views to support the majority of citizens.
Now all of a sudden the repugnican'ts are jumping on the bandwagon because they see theirs is a losing issue.
You want to live in a conservative utopia? Go to Syria and join up with ISL. They'll be happy to show you how to live under strict authoritarian rule.

I just saw Pearl Jam in Detroit. Rocked it out for 3 hrs. No politics or any other bullsh#t. Probably one of their best shows. I don't think I was even exposed to Ebola either. ISIS even declined to show up.

Sketchy, sketchy, sketchy... Please go ahead and refute my points. I won't mind, really. There are some pretty intelligent folk here on the left who can understand your points. Or are you just another parrot for the Koch Bros?

They only want to stop the part of government that they don't like while sucking off the government teat that they require.

Dave, you misread it. Her kids are eating gourmet meals at an exclusive private school, while po'' folk in oklahoma have to eat scraps & Haliburton processed food out of styrofoam containers.
It ain't fair! I remember when the bush daughters had to go dumpster diving for their meals just to be an example for the nation! Oh wait, that was a dream.

barry's legacy of failure in a paragraph:
"Of course you can keep your health coverage, and your doctor. And we’ll cover everyone while your premiums plummet. Meanwhile, al-Qaeda is “decimated” and these Islamic State guys are just the jayvee team. In fact (fact?), they’re not even Islamic — although they may not be quite as “secular” as the Muslim Brotherhood. Just extremists. (Extreme about what? Don’t ask.) Jihad is just a “purification of the self” . . . or, at most, “workplace violence.” Benghazi? A spontaneous “protest” incited by a video. The president was not told it was a terrorist attack . . . except by the secretary of defense right after it started — long before he responded by . . . going to Vegas, where he promptly announced al-Qaeda was “on the path to defeat.” Still, rest assured that the State Department’s top priority is the safety of American personnel . . . although we did reduce security in Benghazi after our facility was bombed. And rest assured that the Justice Department would never ever let guns walk . . . except for the thousands its Fast and Furious program transferred to violent gangs — who’ve used them in who knows how many crimes, including the murder of a Border Patrol agent. Still, at least there’s “not a smidgen of corruption” at the IRS, where citizens are harassed, evidence keeps disappearing, and the official at the center of it all takes the Fifth to avoid giving incriminating testimony. No matter. Just take heart that Ebola is not coming to the United States . . . um, well, if it does come there will be no outbreak . . . but, er, if there is an outbreak, we have careful protocols and health-care professionals fully trained to deal with it . . . and even if the protocols don’t work and the professionals don’t have adequate training, we’ll have a rigorous monitoring program for anyone who is exposed . . . or maybe a self-monitoring program for people who will isolate themselves . . . unless, of course, we tell them to go ahead and hop on a plane. Well, look, at least we can promise there won’t be a “serious” outbreak."

Goes both ways.
I'm not the one crying about to much government,
nor do I cry when I'm out voted.
