What has Obama done for you lately?

Question

Tell me something specific (a bill written or act) that Obama has done that proves he can bring change.

Answer 1

He gives me hope that the old man (McCain) does not have a chance to continue the ways of his cohort george Bush, driving this country into ground with it's $3 trillion unjustified war.

Answer 2

When he was 24, he became a community organizer. Yes, I know that sounds lame, but he was only 24. The biggest accomplishment that most people can say they've done by the time they're 24 is maybe get elected class president by popularity and good-looks. He raised the annual budget from $70k to $400k and set up job-training programs, tenant rights organizations and a college prep program.

He directed the Illinois Project Vote.

He voted in favor of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and cosponsored the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act.

He was the primary sponsor of the "Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act."

I know that these are just his occomplishments, and not something so personal, but it's the issues that are important. It's not about how Palin's family seems nice to eat moose with, or how huggable McCain looks.

Obama has always seemed to take what he does seriously, and is responsible for it. Academically, the schools he's gotten into (without the help of checking "African-American" in his applications) were much more challenging than McCain's.

McCain, as he has said, voted with the president 90% of the time. I'm not satisfied with that. I really do want the "change."

Bush was experienced, and he's messed up our economy. 10 billion every month to the war, and he hasn't made a plan of getting out. Most vacations taken out of the White House.

But Obama seems passionate about whatever he does.

And Palin is a joke. She's built a hockey rink and took pretty pictures of herself in silk skirts and heels.

Answer 18

nothing at all  : [

Answer 19

He really was the wrong choice for the Democratic Party. Hillary is such a stronger candidate, and she is not on the ticket. Her Experience alone, is much greater than his complete resume.

As a person who is looking at the nominees thoroughly, I must say, that I don't like the qualifications of Obama. He is a weaker choice for the democrats. Hillary was a stronger voice with a plan.

Obama, I noticed, likes to talk around problems- and seems to be unprepared with foreign issues.

I don't agree with all of Mccain's viewpoints, but he is firm on his decisions.

I thinks the debates will really influence myself and others starting Oct. 2nd.

Answer 20

Obama-Hagel Nuclear Weapons Threat Reduction Act (S. 1977)

Chuck Hagel is a Republican from Nebraska.

P.S. Don't let the others fool you, Obama does have the experience. Just because you don't hear about it doesn't mean it's not there.

And there's more.

Answer 21

He made me believe that this country may not be entirely worthless.

Answer 22

Nothing. Obama has never done anything for the people only to the people.

Answer 23

He bored me to death.

Obama will NEVER:

create jobs in small towns

help the homeless get a home (especially homeless Vets.).

help people who can't afford a car--any car--to purchase one

And the one thing that his supporters claim he will do is unite this country.  It will never happen!  America has a better chance of having another civil war than Obama uniting it.

Answer 24

Kept me in the real world after listening for 2 days at the RNC.

Answer 25

I don't know what he may or may not have done lately (other than waste my time via media attention) but I am more concerned by how his potential election would waste my money and destroy the economy.

NoBama is NoAnswer.

Answer 26

He has shown us that not all that glitters is made of gold.

Answer 27

Obama's major speech converted that moron co-worker at the water cooler from ron paul independent to Obama democrat.

Man, that guy threw out all his ron paul c**p and has been putting up Obama/Biden posters all over the office.

The POWER of that man!

Oh, yeah! With Russ Feingold he banned lobbyist money from polluting the pols at lunch time. No meals, no gifts!

YOU try taking a free lunch from a fat cat republican and see how the voting goes!

Answer 28

You're worried about petty bills as the Bush admin has been passing bills to take away citizen's rights and move us further away from the constitution. Obama is worried about the people who have suffered through the past 8 years, and the way the US is now looked down upon throughout the world. He's worried about the drop off of the dollar, people losing their homes, dependence on oil when there are clearly other alternatives.

So while you continue to look at the very small picture, he looks at the big picture and that is what his focus has always been on.

Answer 29

Obama has not authored any major legislation, nor has he attached his name to any reform bill.

Obama picked a Washington insider as his VP.

I'm not seeing any change. Based upon the conversations from the Dems, I'm not seeing any unification of the country either.
