Obama’s “Accomplishments”?

At a recent post at my blog, two of my regulars combined to send me into fits of laughter. That is to say, they are both pretty darn funny.

What they wrote were potential accomplishments Obama might mention in his first State of the Union Address. I suggest you not consume any liquids (or food, for that matter), lest it end up all over your computer. Forewarned is forearmed.

First up is Mary Ellen (aka, Nunly, from Bad Habit), who is a resident of Illinois (you’ll see why I mentioned that below):

Obama Accomplishments in his first year as President:

He bought a dog.
**

He practiced his golf swing.
**
He spent plenty of family time on vacations.
**
He just learned that MA isn’t “The Kennedy Center”.
**
He found his list of campaign promises and he will dust them off and try to sell them again.
**
He found Joe Biden and will dust him off and try to sell him again. (to the highest bidder) ;-)
**
Last, but not least…he found his soul. Wait…no, false alarm, that was just a steaming pile of crap that Bo left in the Oval Office.
**
All in all…a typical year of politics for Obama. Just ask Illinois.

Yes, I would say so.

Then, regular reader, SFIndie, added:

~ He saved Chicago from the embarrassment of hosting the Olympics

~ He made it possible for more people to be eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize, not for what they’ve accomplished but what they SAY they’ll accomplish

~ He got a B+ on his report card!

Ah yes, the grade he gave himself. That sounds about right for him.

As we prepare for Obama’s first SOTU, I ask what other “accomplishments” you think Obama has achieved this year? Let’s have them!

  • POdVet

    Obama has accomplished something this year. And it wasn’t something small! In fact, it was a feat so amazing and unanticipated…I would never have thought it possible for any human being to accomplish. In fact, his succeeding in this truly makes him the Obamessiah in my eyes.

    He has made me miss George W Bush….

  • Sassy

    He brought us a majority democratic Congress that blocks their own legislation!

  • typical gram cracker

    He effectively ended the long reign of the Kennedy dynasty.  Now that is a worthy accomplishment!

    By the way I don’t think he bought a dog.  Wasn’t BO a gift from Uncle Teddy?

  • HARP

    He educated millions of Americans about the 57 states.

  • Tex-Mex Soup

    He made all of us realize what racist we truly are. 

    He taught us its ok to bow down to muslim leaders if you are the president.

    I concur with POdVet. The One has accomplished the impossible: I too miss W.
     
    I miss BC. I miss GB the first, and RR and even JC (that’s Carter, not Christ). I disagreed with all of these presidents from time to time, but at least I didn’t cringe with embarrassment every time they opened their pie hole to utter vacuous “profundities” and convoluted Oprah-esque “wisdom.” None of them would have been so full of shit as to give themselves a B+. Could you imagine RR giving himself a B+? He would have dismissed grade-giving as irrelevant when the grade giver was the same as the grade earner. BO doesn’t see the conflict of interest, though, cause he’s a dumb ass. Just like Kanye.

    Obama: ‘I didn’t sign off on those shady health care deals.’ Really? By: John McCormack
    Weekly Standard
    01/26/10 1:17 PM EST

    Mary Katharine Ham notes that President Obama tells ABC:
    “Let’s just clarify. I didn’t make a bunch of deals [on health care]. … There is a legislative process that is taking place in Congress and I am happy to own up to the fact that I have not changed Congress and how it operates the way I would have liked.”
    But the Washington Post reported on December 20 that Obama’s top aides were involved in the negotiations with Nelson:
    Schumer, who spent more than 13 hours in Reid’s office Friday, said the Medicaid issue was settled around lunchtime, and the final eight hours of the talks focused on the abortion language. Boxer estimated she spent seven hours in Reid’s offices — without ever once sitting in the same room, even though they were all of 25 steps apart.
    Reid and Schumer kept up the “shuttle negotiation” between the leader’s conference room and his top aide’s office, Boxer said. Keenly aware how tense the talks were, the White House dispatched two aides who together have decades of experience in the Senate — Jim Messina and Peter Rouse — to work with Nelson. They relayed their intelligence to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who monitored the talks from a dinner in Georgetown.
    Perhaps Messina and Rouse just showed up to provide the “Christmas cookies” that Reid and Schumer chowed down to sustain themselves during the tense negotiations, but it’s hard to believe that Obama’s aides didn’t sign off on both the abortion and Medicaid backroom deals.
    Michelle Malkin sums it up:
    The unmitigated chutzpah here is so blinding that I don’t just need sunglasses to protect my eyes. I need blackout curtains. Watch President Obama blame Congress for Demcare bribery and sabotage of transparency. As if Rahm and all the senior goons in the White House weren’t twisting arms and cracking heads to ensure that the deal met their boss’s timeline. As if the Cadillac tax break for unions hadn’t been hashed out at 1600 Pennsylvania.

  • Miss Malevolent

    I think the better trick is that he reminded me of George W. Bush Jr. instead of missing him.

    They’re both incompetent boobs.

    I think he also accomplished Martin Luther King Jr. Dream…that is to say, that one shouldn’t judge Obama for his skin, but the content of his character.

    And his character is lacking.

  • Docelder

    He has become the first and only one man party.
    He solves problems by simply renaming them.

  • bayareavoter

    Ha Ha Ha –I LOVE this answer. Just the other day I said at least Bush Jr had been a governor (part time) and actually did work out bipartisan deals in TX!

    But he still left us a big fat mess…..too big for Barky to deal with. He is just like Bush–he doesn’t like to work so hard!

  • Onofre’s arm

    I’m not sure if this falls under the category of alchemy or mass hypnosis, but in either case, Obama deserves accolades for managing to convince 69,000,000 voters that chicken shit is chicken salad, or that a shit sandwich is tasty as long as it is articulate, clean, doesn’t talk like a Negro, and is light skinned enough.

  • kenoshamarge

    He turned a lot of lifelong Democrats into Independents and now the Independents are helping Republicans kick Democrat’s ass.

    He has accomplished the feat of spending as much time on television than reruns of Law and Order.

    He has turned the heretofore unnoticed and mostly unknown ”teleprompter” into a well known item.

  • Freedom Fighter

    I will concede that things could have gone better, it is a learning process, and that’s why President Obama only gave himself a B+ for his first year. But one must put the first year in context. President Obama inherited the biggest economic mess since the Great Depression. He also has the media against him, while the media was in Bush’s pocket, cheerleading for him when he pursued two reckless and unending wars. I think President Obama will most likely do better in his second year.

    His accomplishments:

    became the first (& hopefully the last) “Man-Child” president;

    he’s successfully united “We the People”; and

    he’s shown that there is such a king in The Emperor’s New Clothes really exits.      

  • mountainaires

    I want to thank everyone for giving me such a great laugh!!! So many good ones I couldn’t hope to even pick one out as the best one! This is so fun!  :-D  

  • Peggy Sue

    Obama managed to work a Democratic loss in Massachusetts, an utterly astounding feat, despite protests to the contrary.  Were we warned?  Oh yes, many, many times even before the election.  And after?  Anyone who can agonize over the choice of a family dog [even though Bo is very cute] is not ready for primetime and certainly not a WH-level decision maker.

    It’s going to be a lo-o-ong 3 years!   

  • FLDemFem

    The only way Obama can do better in his second year is to resign from the office of President.

    And as for the media being “against him”, that is patently absurd. The media spends so much time kissing Obama’s ass it’s a wonder he doesn’t line his undies with Chapstick.

    He made the Republicans relevant again, well…sort of and after his SOTU speech tonight, he will have managed  to alienate just about everybody. 

  • Onofre’s arm

    Yes, Obama has put such an ugly pall on public service that many would-be politicians are reconsidering a career in politics and are choosing instead the more honorable occupations of used car sales and ambulance chasing.

  • FrenchNail

    He made every single Founding Father rolls in his grave by being the first British citizen sitting in the White House as POTUS.

    (he was born British, never formally abandonned this citizenship even after having chosen not to claim a kenyan citizenship at the time of Kenya independance, therefore according to British laws is still a British citizen to this day, dual citizen US/British at best…)

  • Onofre’s arm

    How about: He inherited (spent a billion dollars to get the job) an unemployment rate of less than 8%, promised that unless the porkulus bill was passed the rate would rise to 8%, he rammed that partisan bill through, then sat back to watch the unemployment rate explode to over 10%, then blamed his poor math skills and economic ignorance on Bush. He’s a magician, and he wasn’t saying “Hope and Change” while he was transforming the greatest country in the history of the world into a third world cesspool, he was actually saying “Presto-change-o.”

    Yes, with the choice of this very cute dog, whom I don’t begrudge having a home, though he may wish he had a better one, I hope the HSUS rethinks its choice to endorse a candidate ever again.  That dog in the WH was supposed to be a shelter dog.  The HSUS got a tongue lashing from many Repub and independent members, and even lost a few members.  HSUS does much, much that is good for animals and should never risk again alienating some of its members.

    “He found Joe Biden and will dust him off and try to sell him again. (to the highest bidder)” 

    Good thing Biden didn’t get blown up on his Iraq visit! …Even though I suspected the time period and reasoning Obama WAS sending him there-yet again.

    And, I’m not sure if we can consider his final selection of that cute doggie, Bo an accomplishment.  Didn’t he promise to get a dog from a shelter?  Maybe he ment a Portugese shelter. :)

  • confused American

    How about being the first President in over 50 years to have the steepest curve in their approval ratings their first year in office.  
    I just checked and he is still below a 50% average at Real Clear Politics  –  48.8% approval rating average at RCP. 

    That means he has only had a 50% approval average or better just a few days in since the end of November 2009. 

    Maybe Obama is missing Bush too and wants to break his approval rating record. LOL

    Yes, he is one of those people who could never lead in corporate America because he would blame eveybody under him for any mistake, yet would take all the credit if something did well. Nobody would want to work with or under him. I think this is what we are seeing. He is so narcissistic, he is becoming a one man party. Maybe Oprah was right in a way, he is “the one”.

    Still buying the media line on Palin, donjo?

    We’re thinkers here.  We study a person’s record.  Get back to us after you’ve done that with Palin.

  • Anonymous

    I too was a monthly contributor to HSUS.   I stopped when they
    photoshopped that white poodle across Obama’s chest and ran what they thought would work as a smear item about Palin.  I hope they don’t actually believe that a moose shot and dressed in the wild was some kind of indictment.  Surely the moose had both a better life and a quicker death than the many millions of animals on
    factory farms. 
    I know they do good work but my money goes now to local
    people. 
    I wrote off a lot of people in 2008 and they were one.

    Not really, timmy!  Not unless you think we’re suffering from amnesia.

    “Indonesia Mulls Tearing Down Obama Statue”

  • armymom

    Hahahahahahahahaha, you’re joking right? Improved our relations around the world, NO he makes us look weak because he is weak and he has spent us into oblivion. You really need to read a few other articles instead of Huffpo and DNC talking points. Not to mention he is wiping out the middle class as he does each and every one of his “”ass tricks”. I do believe now that being “liberal” is a mental disease. Look what it’s done to your thinking…

  • armymom

    Ellie Light, is that you?

  • armymom

    He’s managed to spend upward of a million dollars to keep all his records sealed. What’s to hide? Why hide your school records if you’re that “magnificent? and a “genious”? What you ashamed of Willis?

  • AC

    He accomplished getting Guest to make a fool of himself.  Half those things he lists Obama said he would do and then revered himself. Oh. I guess reversing oneself is an accomplishment.   =-X

  • ~~JustMe~~

    running him outta town and the unicorn he rode in on!

  • AC

    Where’s that troll spray when you need it.

  • blog force one

    Politics and pressure out of the Dept. of Justice?? are you kidding? And another doozie, Concessions from Iran??? oh, you mean the rape, torture and murder of Iranian citzens just for speaking their minds? And BTW< Wasn’t it George bush and Congress who “stopped financial collapse” prior to Barak Obama becoming POTUS?

  • margaret

    He played basketball

    He had beer with a cop and a professor

    He campaigned a lot

    And am I correct that he has achieved the highest disapproval ratings of any President (at least after one year) since ratings have been done?

    He has made Republicans popular again

    He had plenty of time to eat his waffles without anyone bothering him

  • ~~JustMe~~

    Plus you got to give it to the Indonesians they know how to reject a failure when they see one!

    Wonder how his brother is doing in his tiny shack?

  • adave

    O is known big time for returning political favors. Just ask the Chicago lady legislator who offered him her state legislature seat. He is now done the same for the Kennedys. Sen Kennedy boosted O’s selection during the Demociratic primaries, the elimination of Kennedy political dynasty from Massachusetts is O’s return favor.

  • Docelder

    He had the Presidential jet fly to St. Louis and bring in a pizza professional. That was something like a $500K pizza wasn’t it? Bush would have called Papa Johns for $15. Bush was a doofus, but he was no ignoramus.

  • donjo

    That’s possible, but to me and a lot of others, in many ways, she’s just a female version of Ozero.  Running for prez these days is more about being a celebrity than anything else.  And two doofusus this century is more than enough.

  • donjo

    Ask her to find Pakistan on a map.

  • FLDemFem

    No, he didn’t buy a dog. He was taking so long to pick one that Ted Kennedy gave him one. A purebred rather than a pound pup as promised.

  • getfitnow

    Peggy sue the agonizing was even fake. Remember, Kennedy had chosen the dog months before the big announcement.

  • getfitnow

    Sarah Pan is a private citizen last time I checked. And I don’t remember her running for POTUS. I find it telling that everything she said about BO during the campaign is TRUE. She was/is right and the msm is lame as ever/

  • getfitnow

    Sarah Palin is a private citizen and never ran for POTUS. If you look back on what she said about BO during the campaign, she was right and a whole bunch of elite we-know-better-than-you intellectuals were wrong.

  • PortiaElizabeth

    Ford did not need a bailout and Ford did not participate in the “Cash for Clunkers” program.

    By your criteria, guest, Obama kept asteroids from destroying the planet,  prevented another Ice Age, stopped an invasion by killer bees, and drove all the snakes out of Ireland. 

  • PortiaElizabeth

    On a personal level, Barack Obama accomplished what no other political figure had been able to do — he made me so angry and fed up that I donated to his opponents, made phone calls for them, attended their rallies and voted for them. I owe my political zeal and devotion to That One.

  • Docelder

    Well, he must have healed the planet somehow, because global warming is fixed now also.

  • Katmoon

    He often is able to turn promises into whine.

  • PortiaElizabeth

    Me, too.

  • felizarte

    Obama can pivot and say he is switching to the republican party.  That should prevent the republican party’s win in November.

  • buzzlatte

    Wow, what a peak into the delusions of the bots.  

    #34 is the most laughable.  And don’t let that 17% drop in housing get in the way because heaven knows in Obot math a 10% unemployment rate is way better than 8%!

    Shall we start on the deficit?

  • buzzlatte

    Yes.  One accomplishment.  He managed to have all his pathetic records sealed.  So far.

  • Sandy

    That is my answer, too,being the reason a lot of lifelong Dems left the party to become an Independant. I was a Democrat 41 years, and I don’t even recognize this party anymore. Even more amazing is the fact that my 84 year old parents, lifelong Dems, also left the party , and voted Republican for the first time in their lives.

  • texan

    Ask Obama to find the other 7 states.

    What a bunch of brained wash dito heads.

  • eddieb

    Did you notice that Anthem Blue Cross just announced a rate increase of 39%? And 40% at HealthNet? Stay tuned for similar increases from Aetna, Wellpoint, etc. Granted a few too many conservative Dems may have been out muscled by the industry – but at least Obama tried to make a change.  Working people are fucking dying in this country because our profit-centric health care system is untouchable.
    Can you honestly name one republican who would stand up to them? Obama at least had the balls to make an attempt.  

  • dead lark

    I would also call those raise increases, Velentine Christmas Bomber. I mean they sound a bang much more loudly than any Valentine Christmas Bomber ever did. This raises the question: Who is Valentine Christmas Bomber?
