So Candy Crowley said to David Plouffe that Pres Obama hasn't accomplished anything...

http://www.politicususa.com/cnn-disgraces-claiming-obama-accomplished.html/comment-page-1/#comment-194671

I think we all need to educate Candy Crowley.

In fact I think we need to flood her email with a list of accomplishments President Obama has completed IN SPITE of having constant opposition from Congress.

http://edition.cnn.com/feedback/show/?s=stateunion&hdln=2
^
l
Crowley's contact info.

------------------------------------
You can just copy and paste this - this is just ONE of the many lists that are out there....
244 accomplishments at http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2010/10/president-obamas-244-accomplishments/
His top 50 - http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/march_april_2012/features/obamas_top_50_accomplishments035755.php

Expanded the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Fixed the preexisting conditions travesty [and rescissions] in health insurance.
Invested in clean energy.
Overhauled the credit card industry, making it much more consumer-friendly.
While Dodd-Frank bill was weak in many respects, it was still an extremely worthwhile start at re-regulating the financial sector.
He created Elizabeth Warren’s dream agency: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
He’s done a lot for veterans.
He got help for people whose health was injured during the clean-up after the 9/11 attacks.

He was a radio jokester who would trick people into getting angry over non existent issues. Only the really stupid would fall for his shtick. When he came on the scene pretending to be a serious radio personality I thought it was just another joke.

Sun Jun 17, 2012, 07:44 PM

... against which they compare Presidential actions to see if they are actually an "accomplishment."

It's a pretty short list:

1) Is the President a Democrat?
Yes - Stop. No Accomplishment has occurred.
No - Go to #2.

2) Did the action create a tax break for the wealthy?
Yes - This action is an Accomplishment.
No - Go to #3

3) Did the action involve bombing a Muslim-majority nation?
Yes - This action is an Accomplishment.
No - Go to #4.

4) Did the action create an American Theocracy?
Yes - This action is an Accomplishment.
No - No Accomplishment has occurred.

End of checklist.

Asked the team to take some time and educate Ms. Crowley on some of President Obama's accomplishments and mentioned that there would have been more, had we not had a congress that put politics before people and before governing.

Apparently you are unaware of the subject matter when discussing President Obama's accomplishments during his time in office. In spite of obstructionism and great opposition (yes he had a democratic majority for two years but arcane Senate rules prevented him from being able to utilize that majority to his (and our) benefit. The following is a partial list:
He’s killed Osama Bin Laden.
Eliminated several other Al-Qaeda leaders
Ended the War in Iraq
Begun the drawdown of forces from Afghanistan
End-run Republican obstructionism by recess-appointing Richard Cordray to run the Consumer Financial Protection Board.
Obama has overhauled the food safety system
Advanced women’s rights in the work place
Ended Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) in our military
Stopped defending DOMA in court.
Passed the Hate Crimes bill.
Appointed two pro-choice women to the Supreme Court.
Expanded access to medical care and provided subsidies for people who can’t afford it.
Expanded the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Fixed the preexisting conditions travesty in health insurance.
Invested in clean energy.
Overhauled the credit card industry, making it much more consumer-friendly.
While Dodd-Frank bill was weak in many respects, it was still an extremely worthwhile start at re-regulating the financial sector.

in a cheap disguise. They tanked when they lurched right to recover the audience lost to Pox. Then they lost the middle. Really bad management. Crowley has always been a right wing shill and second hand reporter.

Once it was sold, it went downhill....and once W came into power it charged down the hill to try to match FOX News....I have never liked Crowley from the first time I saw her on CNN. She is a true blue suck up Republican. She belongs on Fox News but there may be a problem. They usually prefer blonde Barbies.
