Name one thing Obama did that helped america

The total amount spent by the Federal Government on bailouts is $621 billion, not all of which has been paid back - technically.

And that's actually good for the government's coffers, because as a result of the bailout, the government has received from those loans:

$390 billion in paid-back loans and/or loan payments
$268 billion in dividend payments from investments
$1.83 billion in interest on the loans
$9.63 billion in money made by selling stocks on companies that have paid back their loans
$19.7 billion on fees and sales of other assets and/or equity paid for by bailout funds.

Let's add that up, shall we? Ah, that makes $688.9 billion in return from the bailout, meaning that from the bailout the Federal Government has made a profit of $67.9 billion.

And more money is coming in, because not all the loans are repaid.

You'd know that if you did a little digging for yourself instead of parroting what you're told to say.

THINK.

You don't have a shred of evidence for any of those numbers.

All i see is one screwup after another.

1. Amnesty. He gave millions of illiterate unskilled illegals a certificate saying they can live and work here even though the LAW says they can do neither.

2. Obamacare. A 2500 page law that turned our health care system into another "socialist paradise"

3. Bailouts. He gave TRILLIONS of dollars to banks, insurance companies, and car companies to cover their own incompetence.

He lowered the unemployment rate from 10+ to under 5.

Of course partisan Righties refuse to acknowledge how having more citizens employed helps benefit America.
 
These kinds of threads are purely partisan.

Love or hate Obama, he certainly has improved lives in America, and has a fair # of accomplishments. The stimulus did what it was supposed to, and turned the economy around. Many more people have health insurance today. Despite the hype on Fox, the Iran deal kept that country further from actually having nukes.

Also despite the hype, ISIS has been fairly decimated under Obama. He's had bipartisan successes on both the budget & education. Gay rights have come a LONG way under Obama.

If you don't like any of the above, it's just because of ideology. They are certainly accomplishments.

His approval rating is pretty outstanding for an outgoing Prez.

Go to post 15 that you cited, and click the sentence you dumb ass! There you will see the story on the automotive industry loan repayment. You can not just copy a single sentence read the whole thing. The dumb ass that started the thread claimed the bailout money was a gift not a loan.

He did? All by himself? I thought Congress passed laws that did such things and Congress had a Republican majority when it occurred.

Does having 15+ million more on food stamps benefit America? That's what Obama has yet you partisan leftists refuse to acknowledge that at the same unemployment rate Bush had 10 years before (4.9%), he had 15 million less on the government dole. What's the problem, the black President can't do the same job as the white one?

you claimed it was paid back and provided the story as proof, but the story stated that it was never paid back and we lost $20b.....as I said, you shouldn't link stories you haven't read......

Got rid of DOMA, and DADT. Dodd/Frank was successfully neutered by the House, but there are still oversight issues in place that are effective. Credit card companies can no longer raise your interest rates on balances that are being carried. They cannot continue with many of their schemes that made it impossible for many to pay down debt.

Oh gee he took credit for fixing a democrat made mess. WOW!
 
Likely thousands of illegals, that were criminals, have mistakenly been granted citizenship under Obama. That's a win for democrats.

You are obviously are not reading the whole story, and you leave out the fact, the story was a reply to the poster claiming the bailout money was a gift. So how can any automaker owe anything on a gift?

Some one Tutor this kid with this story, and explain to him the unpaid balance is held by the Treasury dept in the form of stock, and the Treasury Dept,has not sold their holdings. This story is very easy to understand, the Treasury dept. has been paid back with interest by the auto manufactures. Because I am done with this guy, all he has is a nunt'ah argument. No reason, no logic, just don't want to get along.
 
Hmmmmm.....let me think..............nope, can't come up with anything other than make things worse for young blacks economically, make things worse for middle class Americans as a whole, double down on US debt and deficit spending and massively divide the country.

Only if you wallow in leftist dumbFck land; but those with half a brain know that the only reason that number has come down is because record numbers of Americans have LEFT the workforce and they count part time hours and low wage jobs as being fully employed.
