Obama Has No Accomplishments To Tout On The Campaign Trail July 17, 2012 12:22 PM

President Barack Obama is on a whirlwind campaign tour in which he’s trying to convince Americans to vote for him in November. Of course, he believes that he is convincing people that he’s the better candidate by bashing his opponent Mitt Romney. He spends all of his campaign time calling Romney a liar and trying to stir up yet another media frenzy that can’t possibly change America for the better.

At this point, Obama would serve the country better – which he was elected to do – if he quit the name-calling, went back home, and actually accomplished something for this nation. It’s his last chance to create any sort of positive legacy whatsoever for himself.

The list of things Obama could be doing back home in Washington, D.C. is lengthy. He could be dealing with the 8.2% unemployment situation, the economy which Americans suffer from daily, foreign policy of which Sec. of State Hillary Clinton is having difficulty handling without any support whatsoever from the White House, the oil prices which finally dipped a bit a month ago but have already risen right back up where they were, crime increasing throughout the nation, murder rates skyrocketing in the big cities, and so much more that’s gotten worse in the past four years.

If Obama had just a hint of an accomplishment to boast about on the campaign trail, he would be doing it. But he doesn’t. All he has been saying over and over again is that Mitt Romney is a bad guy. America already knows that there are a lot of bad guys in politics – and most of them would run this country a heck of a lot better than Obama has.

A good job for Newt would be to follow him around and speak just after or before him.

Going negative is the only arrow in his quiver.

“If you have a business, you didn’t build that,” with the premise being that `It Took The Village’ to built it, is a dig at Romney.
Romney is everything personally that Obama is not, as much as they might resemble one another in political positions.
Obama’s success (as it is) has been dependent on the kindness of strangers, while Romney made a pile of money in business.

Obama is an academic/politician/bureaucrat leech attached to the public teat while—like it or not—Romney’s success is the American dream personified.

So Obama has to paint `working hard and smart’ as a bad thing.

Deja vu. He had no accomplishments to tout in 2008 either.

During his primary campaign, Newt said that he would do this if nominated.

Obamacare.

Of course, he can’t talk about that too much. His supporters might actually find out how bad that’s going to be.

Every time Obama has run for anything, he had no track record of accomplishing anything. He was an unknown quantity, relying on a slick spiel, and race, to get him through.

Vapid promises and lying about your opponent will only get you so far, but once you have a lousy track record - witnessed by the whole world - that tactic exposes you for the truth...he’s a loser.

Telepromptering his way around the facts won’t be a walk in the park for him this time around...he got some ‘splainin’ to do.

But, his arrogance tells him that now, the USA belongs to him (remember “I won”). He’s golfed himself into believing that all this is, for as long as he wants it.

If he loses, especially if he loses big, he may lose his cool, go into a rage, or, even cry. He acts like tantrums and tears got him his way all his life.

There’s no telling what havoc he’ll wreak during the lame duck days. I think he’ll attempt a coup to try and hang onto power. Maybe not.

But whatever the outcome we’ll be hearing from Obama for a long time to come, his narcissism won’t allow him to go quietlly into that good night.

O’Reilly might even give him a job at FOX, alongside Juan.

“...Obama has to paint `working hard and smart’ as a bad thing.”

Right.

It means “O” has to keep up an incessant and vigorous defense of “lazy and stupid”.

• You’d think that “O” would want to shatter (once-and-for-all) the “lazy and stupid” stereotype!
• You’d think it would be ‘job one’ for America’s first minority President!
• You’d think a whole class of Americans would jump at the chance to shed a stigma

But why alienate so many people and risk losing the the approval of everyone who routinely votes Democrat?

He really does have accomplishments;

Killed Osama

Passed health care which everyone is going to like someday

Received Nobel Peace prize for being 1/2 black and beating a republican

Killed Osama

Made the Iraq war safer than the Afghanistan war

Did I mention he killed Osama?

Lowered the sea levels

Got elected without having to document who he is or what he has done.

Managed to stop comments about George Bush golfing too much.

Made hard core conservatives move left because they are actually thinking about voting for a Mass liberal.

Killed Osama

Made Jimmy Carter a better president.

Temporarily stopped the push to tighten gun laws by tricking federal employees to do the gun walking program.

Put the awkward agenda of healing race relations on the back burner for a couple of decades.

Helped us understand we have no clue what “natural born” means or who controls it.

Proved that any of us can be good public speakers if we only have the proper equipment.

He has managed to destroy the credibility of the MSM for the next 100 years.
