Those Accomplishments of Obama

Ken Cedeno / Bloomberg News

Conservative whine, obfuscate, and outright lie about President Obama. Many liberals can't seem to find or remember accomplishments of the president. And the media...most of it is doing it's usual level of work. The results are that most of the country is oblivious or blind to what the the Obama administration has accomplished since the inauguration.


The PCTC Blog has done an excellent job of laying out the many ways President Obama has set things right in government and begun aiding the righting of the economy.

Some of the president's actions included in this:

1. Within his first week, he signed an Executive Order ordering an audit of government contracts, and combating waste and abuse.   http://1.usa.gov/dUvbu5

9. Not only did he completed the massive TARP financial and banking rescue plan, he also leaned on the banks and others, and recovered virtually all of the bail-out money. http://1.usa.gov/eA5jVS   http://bit.ly/eCNrD6

25. Dismantled the Minerals Management Service, thereby cutting ties between energy companies and the government. http://nyti.ms/bw1MLu

Be sure to take a look and take note for when you next talk or joust with family and friends about just what the president has gotten done. A lot has been done and attempted, and we should all be better informed on what has gone on, and why we need to push forward.
