(1) stopped the use of torture to interogate prisoners, (2) Employers asked to review , develop, and update employee compensation to ensure its applied consistently and uniformly, (3) pay discrimination based on age, gender, race. national origin, age and disability prohibited, (4) 2010 real GDP increased by 3.4% due to stimulus spending, (5) tax credit of $400 per worked ($800 per couple) for middle income workers for 2009 & 2010 totaling $116 BILLION!
Those are just a few of his accomplishments......
How many "prisoners" has Obama taken? None, they kill them instead. US Special Forces are required to under go this same "torture". This so called tax credit RAIDED Social Security, accelerating it's demise. It applies to all who get a pay check over ~$1,500 per year regardless of how much they make.
"..pay discrimination based on age, gender, race. national origin, age and disability prohibited.." - Obama passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act???? Obama passed the 1990 ADA??? Obama is a time traveler? Obama increased GDP by 3.4% at a cost of ~6.4% of GDP??? It would have had a greater increase in GDP if he would have just sent everyone a check!
USA credit rating down graded, gasoline price doubled, 16mm more on Food Stamps, Unemployment 8.3%, $5 Trillion in NEW DEBT or $17,000 per person. Medicare to become insolvent in 12 years.
