In one term Romney turned Massachusetts's $3 billion deficit into a surplus, what has Obama done in one term?

Accomplishments:

Obama issued command to kill Bin Laden. (although it sure would be nice to have photos)

Failures:

Signed an unconstitutional healthcare bill into law that after 18 months has resulted in over 4.5 million Americans losing their healthcare coverage through work.

Appointed a well known advocate of healthcare rationing in charge of medicare as a 'recess appointment' to slide him by Congress. Obama needs more than the Trillion dollars he is pilfering from medicare to pay for his government healthcare program.

Google Berwick and his statements - he wants a UK style healthcare system.

Exempting 166 trade unions from Obamacare mandates. And other companies are exempt as well - pays to play.

Using the Gulf Oil Spill to promote Green Energy – instead of cleaning it up!

In contempt of court for placing moratoriums on oil drilling while giving taxpayer dollars to Petrobras, Soros a preferred stock holder, so they can drill off the coast of South America.

Plays politics with the Alaskan pipeline which he tried stopped construction on to appease his Green donors before the election. You see it is all about donors with obama! Even his Hamas donors get paidback! Politics trumps thousands of new jobs, with oil potentially going to China instead.

Threw Israel under-the-bus, telling them to go back to pre-War borders after he said he would not... liar-in-chief strikes again.

Goes to War in Libya, ousting a dictator without Congressional approval, resulting in country controlled by Islamic fascists, losing missles in the process that will most assuredly be launched against the United States at some point.

Using taxpayer dollars to pay back his donor friends - like Solyndra and Siga!

Either is the most uninformed President ever or a liar - (Fast and Furious)

Thinking the Tea Party is a passing fad – or that they are racists/terrorists!

Shows continued disgust for patriotic Americans in the Tea Party movement while silent on degenerates in the streets defecating on cars - oh that's right - that's his base!

Pulling out of Iraq with no clear victory over insurgent forces! Causing the largest rate of casualties since the beginning of the War! Same with time tables in Afghanistan.

Trying to re-write history through speeches – with inaccurate information (i.e. Statue of Liberty)!

Getting a Nobel Prize for being the most ineffective President in the history of the United States, though some say it was for his pigment. (After how many days in office?? 2 weeks? Bet they would like to have that back!)

Putting all legislation on the Internet for five days before it comes to a vote! (Just another unfufilled promise)

Returning the bust of Churchill to the Brits!

Giving a collection of DVDs to the British PM.!

Denying the notion of American Exceptionalism.! Don't apologize for me sucker.

Promising to close Gitmo — failing to do so without anywhere to put them!

Securing the Olympics for Chicago in 2016. (Not)

Naming numerous Communists/Socialists/Progres... to his various Czar positions and then watching them scurry for cover when Beck begins to call them out, forcing them to resign!!

Government races for NJ, VA and the Senate Seat in Mass.!!

The midterm elections, which Obama himself called a shellacking.!!

Prediction that stimulus would ensure that unemployment doesn’t exceed 8%.!!

Failure of Son-of-Stimulus - Because even the democrats became wise to the trickster tactics of obama's payback to unions.

Allowed failed economic policy, resulting in the largest spending spree of all presidents in 3 short years.

Allows a House Bill Cap/Cut/Balance to be killed by Reid in the Senate resulting in a downgrade of the nation's bond rating.

Bowing and apologizing to just about everybody!! While allowing Iran to create a Nuclear arsenal and refusing to support the people of Iran during a democratic uprising (Libya's ok though)

Proposing amnesty for illegal aliens to increase the population of voters for Democrat elections - then usurping Congress to create amnesty through executive orders and regulations.

Refusing to secure the southern border!

Thinks there are 57 states and his birth state of Hawaii is in Asia!

For all you haters out there... Obama spent more government to get out of the recession and it is slowly working. Bush however spent more money, but nothing really improved. If you don't get the difference....you are a complete idiot. Spending that workings is better than spending that doesn't work. Clinton did the right cuts and increases in spending, so did Obama. Bush however spent more money and nothing improved but the economy went down. Some people just have bad memory. Obama never caused the Great Recession. Once Bush left office, the economy started to fall. Do not say Obama started it even though when he first got in....It started to fall even more. Also, for you people that think Democrats had a majority in the house and didn't do anything. Well.... If 60 votes is needed in the Senate to pass something and You have 59 Democrats. Will you be able to pass something? No. You can have 51 -59 Democrats as a majority and still do not accomplish anything. Having a majority does not mean that you can accomplish something because the Republicans and obviously all side with each other to say No to everything. When did this happen?? Oh, ya....My state of Massachusetts elected Scott Brown to the Senate leaving the majority Democrats to 59. We never past anything when that happened. Hey, what happened to Congress Approval rating....it fell. How many bills filibustered by the Republicans...(MOST IN HISTORY)?

Romney did that by (gasp!) raising taxes and fees.

The deficit was actually $1.3 billion, and he balanced the budget with mostly tax and fee increases with very little spending cuts.

Romney increased taxes on corporations, many almost doubled. He also raised taxes on business again in 2004 and 2005, for a grand total of $309 million levied upon the corporate sector. He increased taxes on business property, tried to raise taxes on hotels (but was stopped by the Democrat legislature!) (7), joined a coalition lobbying congress to tax internet activity, and supported a tax on out of state commuters.

As the Massachusetts Taxpayer Foundation stated, “fees and taxes have increased more than $700 million per year under Governor Mitt Romney." Also, Romney “proposed four budgets while in office…each budget increased spending over the previous year.”

Fun fact: while Romney raised over a hundred different fees and taxes, the two previous Republican governors signed more than 40 tax reduction bills, even though Democrats controlled the legislature.

Turned an economy that was shrinking by 6% and shedding 800,000 jobs per month into one that is growing by 2% and adding 200,000 jobs per month. He also reformed health care, the finance industry, credit card lending, ended military operations in Iraq, and took out terrorist leaders like Osama bin Laden and Anwar Al-Awlaki.

People who claim Obama hasn't accomplished anything are delusional.

He did that by causing the death off children in dcf custody, and the Massachusetts economy was very strong at the time. Its comparing apples and oranges , His policies ended up costing more money and caused the neediest to suffer

One thing he doesn't tell you.

He increased taxes to do this.

"Romney also increased the state gasoline fee by 2 cents per gallon, generating about $60 million per year in additional revenue; the fee is in addition to the 21-cent-per-gallon state gas tax. Romney approved $128 million in tax changes such as sales tax from purchases on the Internet[31] and raised another $181 million in additional business taxes in the next two years; businesses called these changes tax increases, but Romney defended them as the elimination of "loopholes"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_o...

You call 369 millions of dollars of tax increases little? If this was Congress, the Republicans will be complaining.

Romney has increased taxes on gas before.

Increased the deficit to previously unimaginable levels.

Mark do you have a link you can provide, to back up that question

doubled the size of government and increased the general public debt by 30%

Nothing much,lot of golf,too many speeches broken promises,flip flops,way too much spending.

Don't you remember what happened to our nation in September 2008? I do. He took a mess and turned it into a positive. Can you say Congratulations Mr. President?
