Barack Obama a Conservative? Are You Kidding Me?

Are You Kidding Me?

Here's the accusation posted on Facebook:

Obama is conservative. He is, by his own admission, a Blue Dog Democrat, i.e., pretty much a Republican. His support for liberal policies is completely verbal.

Related to this, one I've heard over and over:

"Obama is a corporate stooge, just a suit".  Or:   "Just another president married to wall st."

From WhiteHouse.gov

A man named Kevin replied with this list of SOME of Obama's liberal accomplishments:

• Enacted Health Care reform for the first time in US history
• Supports more Green Energy than any other POTUS in history...
• supports gay, women's and minority rights...
• Within his first week, he signed an Executive Order ordering an audit of government contracts, and combating waste and abuse...
• He created the Making Home Affordable home refinancing plan...
• Along with Democrats, and almost no Republicans, implemented an auto industry rescue plan, and saved as many as 1 million jobs...
• Signed the Democratic-sponsored Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act giving the federal government more tools to investigate and prosecute fraud in every corner of the financial system, and create a bipartisan Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission to investigate the financial fraud that led to the economic meltdown...
• Signed the Democratic-sponsored and passed Helping Families Save Their Homes Act, expanding on the Making Home Affordable Program to help millions of Americans avoid preventable foreclosures. The bill also provided $2.2 billion to help combat homelessness, and to stabilize the housing market...
• Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, saved at least 300,000 education jobs, such as teachers, principals, librarians, and counselors that would have otherwise been lost...
• Along with Congressional Democrats, provided funding to states and the Department of Homeland Security to save thousands of police and firefighter jobs from being cut during the recession...
• Signed the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act, which closed many of the loopholes that allowed companies to send jobs overseas, and avoid paying US taxes by moving money offshore...
• and a TON more...

"His support for liberal policies is completely verbal" my ass.

What he has TRIED to do is be a Liberal who meets in the middle, but the asshole GOP will have NONE of it. NOT his fault, and it certainly does NOT make him a 'Republican' (if he was one, he would have accomplished NOTHING...that's what they DO any more)...

Thanks, Kevin!

No, both parties are NOT the same.. And anybody who thinks they are just isn't paying attention!
