Obama's Accomplishments in 2014

George's concerns about FMNA and FMAC were blocked by Barney Frank who prevented an audit and assured us all that they were "fiscally sound."

Thanks for playing.

The US homeownership rate reached a record 69.2 percent in the second quarter of 2004. The number of homeowners in the United States reached 73.4 million, the most ever. And for the first time, the majority of minority Americans own their own homes.
The President set a goal to increase the number of minority homeowners by 5.5 million families by the end of the decade. Through his homeownership challenge, the President called on the private sector to help in this effort. More than two dozen companies and organizations have made commitments to increase minority homeownership - including pledges to provide more than $1.1 trillion in mortgage purchases for minority homebuyers this decade.
President Bush signed the $200 million-per-year American Dream Downpayment Act which will help approximately 40,000 families each year with their downpayment and closing costs.
The Administration proposed the Zero-Downpayment Initiative to allow the Federal Housing Administration to insure mortgages for first-time homebuyers without a downpayment. Projections indicate this could generate over 150,000 new homeowners in the first year alone.
President Bush proposed a new Single Family Affordable Housing Tax Credit to increase the supply of affordable homes.
The President has proposed to more than double funding for the Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP), where government and non-profit organizations work closely together to increase homeownership opportunities.


Is this the guy you didn't want to talk about?

Valid.

The Ameri-dream program was the death knell for housing. When your biggest "investment" requires no actual investment it is a problem.

I do tend to want to block out the Bush years. The projection on the prescription drug unfunded liability is already 1/6th of the future problem and it has only just started.
 
The Pubs passed bipartisan health care bills that were stalled by Reid in the Senate. This from Forbes:

"One underappreciated aspect of the last four years is that the GOP-controlled House of Representatives passed dozens of health care-related bills that were popular with the public. But Sen. Harry Reid (D., Nev.), the Senate Majority Leader, blocked those bills from coming to a vote, in order to prevent embarrassing Democratic defections.

Under a Republican Senate, a number of those bills will now get to the President’s desk, and there’s a number that he may sign. Up until now, much of the conversation in the media and on Capitol Hill has centered on measures favored by health industry lobbyists, such as a repeal of Obamacare’s premium-increasing tax on medical."

Tell us more bullshit, Adre.

It should be noted they only started paying attention after ACA. Show me where they did anything for eight years under GWB, especially the six years when they ran the show.

There's some mighty fine health care "improvements" in that article. :rolleyes:

Example: Dropping the requirement for major companies to provide insurance to full time workers?

Who exactly benefits from that change, you stupid son of a whore?

Hint: it's not workers.
 
Worth noting:
Barack Obama's approval on january 2 2014: 40%
Barack Obama's approval on january 2 2015: 48%

My calculator says that a 20% improvement for the year....but I'm sure queerbait will be here shortly to redefine the word "percent" to something more of his liking.
 
It's amazing, vetteman's level of hate for the sitting president of the United States. It cuts deep almost as if he once slept with his lady friend. Very obsessive, passionate almost.
 
Healthcare is Communist? (Yours is free as I recall.)

Nothing "free" about health-care provided in fulfillment of the contractual obligation specified in an employment contract.

You're saying Vetteman is employed? I doubt that.
 
He is both a veteran and paid into to medicare. Both programs are contractual obligations.

Split hairs any way you like, it's socialized medicine. You guys just don't like admitting it, though he's happy to use it while calling other people Communist. (But then he is a moron still fighting a nonexistent Cold War.)
