Oh Obama.... do you EVER think before you speak?

Obama's biggest mistake was deciding not to prosecute the Bush Administration for war crimes and treason.
His next biggest mistake was a stimulus package that was too small and distributed over too long of a timespan.
His third biggest mistake was not withdrawing from Afghanistan sooner.
His fourth biggest mistake was not ensuring a single payer health care plan was introduced.
His fith biggest mistake was not prosecuting wall street criminals hashly and quickly enough.

Enough for now, or should I go on?

Id put number 4 as number 1, but other than that, good list.

Good lord.... so you have given me a 200 page review of the 2000 page bill.... you can't just state WHAT portion it is that you think makes your case? I do appreciate you cutting it down to 200 pages from 2000, but still... it is not asking too much for you to actually just say what it is that you believe rather than telling me to go read 200 pages and guess....

So again... what part of Dodd Frank do you feel protects us from another bank bailout?

There's a summary in there, guy. Not too tough.

You are asking Dune?

From what I understand, Obama cannot be held responsible for anything that has happened. He inherited everything, and it has been impossible for his policy to have any effect because there were earthquakes, tsunamis, car crashes, traffic jams... The Trillion dollars he had to spend on stimulus not going to rebuild the schools or roads... Bush's fault. The QE1 and QE2 not working in any fashion other than to make your groceries more expensive... Bush's fault and there was a tsunami, plus we just didn't put ourselves into more crippling debt, and that's Bush's fault, and a hurricane, car crash... The fact that he can't put forward a budget even his own party could support when they held super majority in both houses of congress...Bush's fault, Arab Spring....

He can't be held responsible for anything that has happened since he took office. I mean, there was an "Arab Spring" for gawds' sakes!

The President does not have a lot to do with the Economy short run, Ive always said this (not new just because President Obama is in office). The fact that we did not go over that cliff we were heading toward is good, but I dont give a lot of credit to the president for it.

To tell you the truth Brav, I think I would be hard pressed to come up with another five points. 2 or 3 maybe, but I am pleased with Obama for the most part.

What precisely am I running from?

Your comment has nothing to do with the fact that Dodd Frank does not prevent another meltdown. Your point adds to the point I was making. It is too watered down. I don't care if you want to blame Reps for it or the Dems from NY or the Blue Dogs or whomever else watered it down. It doesn't change the fact that it doesn't prevent another melt down.

They should have put Glass Steagall back in place. That would have prevented another meltdown without the 2000 page nightmare of regulatory BS that Dodd Frank presented.

Again, are you frikking kidding me?

You are blaming Obama for something the repubs did.
 
Oh, for sure. The dems are totally innocent. The Dems didn't invent the KKK. The Dems didn't filibuster the Civil Rights Bill in 1964. The Dems didn't stand in the door of colleges to block Black kids from entering. Naw. It's the repubs who revise history. Yup.

You and your pals want to make this campaign about racism with your smears and race baiting and insulting American's because they attend Tea Party events, then go right ahead. We are ready and willing to lay it ALL out there. Go for it.

Here is a clue.
Read the first post in a thread. That and the title of the thread should give you some idea what the topic is.

The Topic is your race-baiting, smear merchant that you and your pals are still supporting and who is tearing this nation apart. That's the topic. Obama.

Obama is the President. He signed the bill into law. You are also ignoring the FACT that many DEMS also had a hand in watering it down. It is dishonest to claim otherwise. Yes, the Reps helped water it down. But so did the NY Dems and the Blue dog Dems.

Obama is the one who put Dodd Frank into law by signing it. If he wanted something stronger, he should have fought harder for it.

It was the DEMS who had a SUPER MAJORITY at the time, they could have pushed it through with whatever they wanted. But Obama/Reid/Pelosi couldn't keep their own party in tact for the vote.

So quit trying to solely blame the Reps. They were in the minority in both houses. The Dems could have rammed it through just as they did with the Obama care.
