"Never underestimate joes ability to fuck things up" -God king Obama. Welllll it looks like Biden undid the only bit of gun control Obama managed in his 8 years by executive fiat. Skip to about 7 minutes. Obama's only anti-gun accomplishment was ceremoniously flushed down the shitter today.
And you're complaining??? I guess you'll also be delighted that Biden is taking an interest in gun safety, which will be a boon to the gun safe manufacturing industry: U.S. Department of Education Issues New Resource for School Administrators on Importance of Safe Firearm Storage | U.S. Department of Education Brady Applauds New Executive Actions from the Biden… | Brady Biden’s Got a Taker for One of His Gun Safety Proposals: California - KFF Health News Fact Sheet: Biden Administration Takes Steps to Prevent Suicide, Including by Promoting Safe Storage of Firearms | The White House Invest in gun safe manufacturing futures now!
It seems like mental gymnastics to try to draw non existing links between gun ownership and suicide. But the facts say the US is number 1 for gun ownership by a lot but about 30th for suicide so if there was some sort of link between gun ownership and suicide then there wouldn't be totally disarmed nations in the top 10.
I'm 6'3'' and 230lb and have no doubt big mike could easily whoop my ass and probably beat 90% of female UFC fighters.
People are saying "Obama is still running things from behind the scenes" but while he was president he was called an "empty suit". So which is it? Did he get a promotion? Expanding and maintaining forever wars and arming our enemies was kinda Obamas thing and that's exactly what's been happening for about the last 3 years. I think once an empty suit, always an empty suit. So who is it?
I think the population considers him an empty suit because he promised a lot of stuff he didn't get done. In truth, he only had Congress for 2 of the 8 years. He got Obamacare through in 2 but couldn't get anything else passed. And no, I don't think he is running things behind the scenes. Whoever ran Obama, is behind the scenes still.
Help us out. We appear to be learning that Obamacare did nothing but explode the price of medical insurance after that healthcare CEO got shot.
Who are these censors? Are they in the room with you right now? If Obama made 28 real accomplishments that weren't just executive fiat then I'm the Nigerian tooth fairy.

It sure as hell didn't feel like a recovery had occured even 6 years later. Not an accomplishment. Boarder line uncomplishment. 2 - the affordable care act. The crowning turd of Obamas 2 terms. It exploded the cost of health insurance. So what 20 million people got insurance. I don't give a fuck about those people. People I care about could no longer afford health insurance within 2 or 3 years of it passing. That pile of crap was a step backwards. An uncomplishment. So this one doesn't count and cancels out at least one other. Add 1 and 2 together and you got at least one uncomplishment there. Making things worse isn't an accomplishment. 3 - ended the war in Iraq and then picked it right back up in Syria. All the war did was move slightly. What started in Iraq in 2003 didn't really end until 2017. Not an accomplishment. 4 - so he got one. He didn't chicken out and call it off. So we'll call it zero accomplishments so far. He was really just doing his job, I'll count it because I thought he would be too chicken shit to give it the go. 5 - so he passed a spending bill loaded with pork, which means he did his job. He showed up to work and did his job... Not an accomplishment. 6 - mmmmm ya you can say Obama did a lot for same sex marriage lol. Wow, didn't think they would go there... Anyways, should have been hashed out in the courts, probability covered with the 14th amendment. If you want to call catering to a special interest groups a win that's good with me. So 1 out of 6. 7 - released 1,200 drug dealers. I don't know wtf to call that. Definitely not a accomplishment. Boarder line uncomplishment. No amount of mental gymnastics can twist releasing 1,200 drug dealers into being a net positive for society. How many of them were put there by Kamala? oOoOO let's not go there. 8 - bailed out the auto industry. Gave sweetheart loans to the auto industry, again catering to a special interest group, mainly the unions. I guess that's a win. So 2 accomplishments, both catering to special interest groups. 9 Obama policies exploded the price of nature gas by banning drilling on federal lands and fear of a fracking ban caused a fracking boom. A win by rank incompetence. So 2 catering to special interest groups and a fumbling incompetence win. At best proves a broken clock can be right 1 out of 720. 10 - again he did his job. Very closely tied to number 4, Eliminated Osama and drew down the war in Afghanistan. That's what he was supposed to do. Doing his job isn't an accomplishment. If he pulled out of Afghanistan without leaving a bunch of vehicles and weapons that would be an actual accomplishment. 11 - executive fiat and single handedly changing laws, made things worse for sure, not an accomplishment. 12 - I remember this one, I really didn't think he would do it. Really it sounds like he was just doing his job but I'm felling bad for the guy, I'm sure it pissed off a few mega donars, +1, so that's 4 now... 13 - JFC that's probably the closest thing to a free and clear no bullshit accomplishment. I'll sing that fkin praise. That's 5. This is literally the only one that really matters so far. 14 - sounds like he at best did his job. The military and Intel community got a bunch of bad press for ruffing up prisoners and he did something about it. So now the US turns them over to another country that will torture them for us. Not an accomplishment and probably made the situation worse for these "prisoners". Not an accomplishment and made the situation worse. 15 - could have been a huge win but it wasn't. It was looking like it was going to happen there for a few months. Ultimately Cuba just didn't want to play ball. Cuba started demanding reparations and demanded the US admit to wrongdoing, likely because of stuff Obama said in the past, at best a participation trophy. Maybe trump will do it. 16 - could be a win, but also the fake cancer list was still on going and started the infamous $100,000 back office statues and multi million dollar cringy building facades. Guess that makes 6 17 - did his job. 18 - The accomplishment no one wanted or asked for. Executive fiat via executive agency. Also the same as number 8. At best one win between the 2. 19 - sounds like he did his job. He signed a law and didn't make things worse so it would seem. 20 - somewhere between executive fiat and doing his job as he is the commander in chief. I was in the middle of that shit show. It was demoralizing to an already over deployed military stretched thin on a 2 front war. Almost argue it was an uncomplishment, like the affordable care act. 21 - somewhere between doing his job and a step backwards by making something systemic totally about skin color, orientation, religion ethnicity, ect. I wouldn't want to call that an accomplishment. 22 - the Iran nuclear deal was at best kicking the can down the road, at worse treason. I'm sure democrats would love to count treason as an accomplishment. 23 - somewhere between doing his job and didn't work. Supposedly in 2000 women made 30% less than men and in 2024 women were still making 30% less than men. Either way, not an accomplishment. 24 - a best doing his job, at worse she's a diversity hire. 25 - sounds like doing his job passing a bill. I was in when this happened. Nothing changed. I think it raised the cap of tuition assistance by a few hundred dollars. Anyone who had a real military job didn't have the time to use all of the original amount of tuition assistance. Maybe it helped people taking masters degree classes. Its not like Obama created military tuition assistance, that was already a thing by the time I was in back in 2002. Also I believe 5, 16 and 25 are all tied together. Maybe 1 accomplishment between the 3. 26 - by 2011 they were probably wishing they hadn't. At best a personal accomplishment, doesn't so anything for our country. 27 - another thing based on skin color, seems more like a step backwards. Guess it's a win, a cringe worthy win at best. That makes 7. 28 - seems like a win. I like recycling. Chicken shit fake christian republicans wouldn't touch this one. 29 - you missed one. Obama banned gain of function research, even though it was likely going on secretly by rat bastards like fauchi. Still a win. If it weren't for Obamas ban we may have gotten a finished product in 2019 instead of a work in progress. I wonder why they didn't list Obamas gain of function ban it's executive fiat, it's a huge win, nobody had any idea what the fallout from it could be. I'm convinced had gain of function been allowed to go unchecked covid would have been far worse. 30 - pushed the government to give money to a bunch of dead end green initiatives one of which was Tesla, way back in 2008 to 2010, paving the way for the crushing 2024 defeat. I'll take that win all fickin day. So 28 is really 23, out of those like 10 are wins, half of those were catering to special interest groups and out of all those only about 3 really matter. Two of which I volunteered. I'll say Obama took steps to fix the VA and reduced vet homelessness. A hard win. Ordered the elimination osama bin laden (always small letters lol). Banned gain of function research, saving us from untold horrors.
Great response Missed one funded green energy BS with taxpayer money(millions of dollars) and every single one of those companies went belly up Obummers midnight pallet of money to Iran thanks to him we have been funding Irans nuclear weapons program
Best case scenario that money funded school bus sized missiles that were fired at Israel, worse case scenario it's funded the development of nukes too. Those gd rag heads can't be trusted with money and sure as hell can't be allowed to obtain nukes. If the green energy bs was listed I would have labled it a fail or participation trophy as all the companies immediately went bankrupt as soon as the federal money ran out. Like with cuba they tried but it didn't happen. No, now that I think about it, one company that took Obama money is still around, Tesla. Hahahahahaha! Bet they regret that one. No surprise they don't want to take credit for that one. Shit I should update the post.
