Who Am I?


I’ve been heralded as one of the greatest Presidents to come out of the Republican party.
Here is my legacy:

I provided amnesty to undocumented immigrants

I grew the size of the Federal Government and the budget, while adding a whole new Cabinet level agency. I added tens of thousands of Government workers to the Federal payroll. In the process, I tripled the deficit.

I bailed out and expanded Social Security by introducing higher taxes.

I raised Corporate taxes by hundreds of Billions of dollars.

I raised taxes on gasoline.

I signed the largest tax increase in the history of the United States.

I supported federal hand gun controls.

I called for a world without nuclear weapons.

Despite how all of this is perceived, I’m still regarded as one of the greatest Presidents to ever live. I am Ronald Reagan.



I’m the President who will always be remembered simply because of the historic precedence of my being elected to office. In HALF a term I have made historic landmarks.

Here is the BEGINNING of my legacy.

I passed the Wall Street Reform Agreement

I passed Health Care Reform

I created a stimulus bill that pumped approximately $100 Billion into our crumbling infrastructure and transport system. The only other President to do anything close was Eisenhower, who by the way our highway system is named for.

I made a historic investment of $60 Billion towards renewable and clean energy.

I made an unheralded huge investment in science and technology by improving the budgets at NASA, The National Science Foundation, and an Experimental Research Agency created but not funded by President Bush.

I expanded State kids health insurance to cover another four million kids

I signed a nuclear arms deal with Russia that reduces both countries arsenals by a third, steps that go toward President Reagan’s vision of a world without nuclear weapons.

I signed into law The Hate Crimes Prevention Act otherwise known as The Matthew Sheppard Act which has languished in Congress for years.

I called for the Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco for the first time in US History.

I dismantled the Minerals Management Service to keep those who collect money from oil leases from being responsible for regulating the industry. In effect ending the corruption that has been taking place for years.

I fired two war time Generals in a little less than a year.

I stopped the banking industry from being subsidized with government funds through their offering of student loans backed by the government. The savings in making that move are now put toward actual aid to students.

I got rid of weapons programs designed to do nothing more than pad the pockets of Defense companies because the weapons created were not used in either of the two recent wars fought. The weapon was the F-22. This type of move is unprecedented because weapons programs are never cancelled.

This is just the amount of work I have been able to accomplish in half my term. I know some people don’t like me, but work is getting done, work that will make the future bright for all Americans.

Vote on November 2nd and help me to accomplish more for the American people.  I am President Barack Obama.



*Thanks to Rachel Maddow, host of MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show, for pointing out all these fine accomplishments.

I'll definitely be at the polls.
I heard from my 85 year old grandma who can remember the poll tax and the days when she couldn't vote. A reminder of how far we've come, and to not get complacent.

I don't think people realize all of Mr. Obama's accomplishments. Thank you for listing them. My vote has already been cast. I just pray that most people won't take for granted all that is needed to be done.

Great post! I find it sad that most folks don't know this information and some who do definitely ignore it. I will be most definitely voting on November 2nd.

Good read.

Reminds of a quote from New Jack City: "You got to rob to get reach in the Reagen Era."

It's easy for everyone and anyone to criticize Barack Obama for not being perfect, but once a person takes a long look at the starting point and the finish line, it's impossible not to respect the efforts of Barack Obama.

The man has ran a good race, thus far, and I believe he will continue in the same breath.

Honestly, I was getting confused about Obama. I thought he was/is doing a good job but with all the mud slinging and daily hatred toward him on the news . . I didn't know what to think.

That list is so great. It really helped me seeing it all written done.


Hope you don't mind but I am linking this post on twitter and Facebook.

Dope post! It's funny what happens when you put the FACTS out there. Facts can't be disputed. Obama has been the truth for this country. And some people can't HANDLE the truth!
