Chain E-Mail of Obama "Firsts" analyzed
matthew's pictureThu, 10/25/2012 - 21:27 — matthew
Got this note in my Facebook inbox. Tough to address so much misinformation, but I'll try. This list of "Firsts" is clearly in the league of "throw enough poo, some of it will stick", but I was asked by a friend to provide some answers, so here goes...

There's more, obviously, addressing the rst of your uncredited c/p, but I'm not gonna post it all here, so you can go read it for yourself, though you won't.

From the blog of some leftist?? HA! You also forget that everything you have posted has come from the Obama butt-kissing media.

"Two statuses: Tautology, and False. The DREAM Act did not exist in a form likely to be ratified under George W. Bush, and did not exist under any president prior to that. The Obama administration has announced that for the remainder of Obama's term, it will not deport illegal immigrants who meet the criteria to remain in the USA as specified in the DREAM act. Presidential authority to enforce existing laws in ways that meet the administration's goals has a long history dating back to George Washington's decisions regarding the US position in the French Revolutionary Wars. In this case, no provision of the DREAM act is being implemented; the Obama administration is suspending some deportation temporarily based on the assumption that this Republican-sponsored bill with broad support will be passed.

First President to order a secret amnesty program that stopped the deportation of illegal immigrants across the U.S., including those with criminal convictions.

False. The temporary deportation suspension is not secret, not amnesty, and doesn't apply to those convicted of felonies. However, since the act of illegal immigration is itself a crime, refusing to deport an illegal immigrant is, by definition, refusing to deport someone who has committed a crime. Therefore, it is true Obama stopped deportation of criminals if their sole crime is that of having migrated to the USA without going through official channels."

Considering this blog was from 6 years ago and no Dream Act was passed. On top of that, this clearly demonstrates that the current President has every right to rescind the act if he chooses (Obama even said during his re-election campaign that another President could rescind it if he chooses). Now the leftist courts are telling him now President Donald Trump that he cannot rescind it. Quite fishy.

A bit tardy, admittedly, since YOUR UNCREDITED COPY PASTE WAS FROM 2011, you deliberately obtuse lying jizz bucket.

You are free to refute anything there tho you can't.

Stupid.

Night, toots, don't forget to unleash your alts at 1am, the ones that ad hominem like naughty foul mouthed ruffians from the inner city zone - oooooooh, scaaaaaaaaaary.

Well since DACA was implemented in 2012 it is quite clear that what I copied and pasted (just like you did) was not from 2011. I guess you didn't read where I called out this crap on DACA.

No, I didn't read any of it, just searched the flagrant plagarism because the only list you're capable of making is:

1. Diaper

2. Pee pee

3. Rash

4. Boo hoo

5. Mommy

And I started by first CITING the link to my SOURCE, and finished by CITING it in more detail, incl the intro paragraph.

Yer refutinin' skills is a lackin'

I'm bored.
Nite nite, nimrod.

Quit trashing President Obama's accomplishments. He has done more than any other President before him. He has an impressive list of 34 accomplishments:
First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.

Flatly false. This claim is based upon an April Fools joke article that Birthers took seriously. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/occidental.asp

First President to have a social security number from a state he has never lived in.

Dubious, but not outright false. While "042" is typically a social security number associated with Connecticut, there are several reasons why this may have occurred, not the least of which is that the "area number" doesn't always mean what people assume it means. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/occidental.asp

First President to preside over a cut to the credit-rating of the United States.

True, but this fits into the category of "the party blaming the President is the actual party who bears the blame". S&P gave very specific reasons for the downgrade. It's important to realize who S&P blames:
"...we have changed our view of the difficulties in bridging the gulf between the political parties over fiscal policy, which makes us pessimistic about the capacity of Congress and the Administration to be able to leverage their agreement this week into a broader fiscal consolidation plan that stabilizes the government's debt dynamics any time soon.
"...new revenues have dropped down on the menu of policy options. "

In other words, S&P downgraded because A) Revenues dropped precipitously over the past ten years due to both tax cuts and a reduction of GDP, B) the Republicans and Democrats could not agree on fiscal policy, and C) an obstructionist Congress refused to allow a return to historical taxation rates as a possible option to make good on our debts. Blame the President if you want, but he was powerless to do anything more than make speeches while the Republicans blocked all efforts to increase revenue.

First President to violate the War Powers Act.

False. If you accept Republican Congressional framing of the issue, President Obama is the third President to violate the War Powers act. It was first violated 8 years after Congress' override of Nixon's veto by President Reagan in 1981, then again by Clinton in 1999, and finally by Obama in 2011.

That said, some -- including the Ad

That said, some -- including the Administration -- argue that Obama may have not violated the War Powers act at all. By providing exclusively logistical support in Libya beyond the 60-day limit -- no combat troops on the ground -- there have been no military casualties of the type typically seen in an armed conflict (excluding four diplomatic deaths, which are non-military). Congressional Republicans claim this argument does not pass the "small test", while Congressional Democrats tend to support it.

Barack Obama has drawn criticism for failing to involve the US Military in combat actions in Libya as a result of the September 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi. It may be safely argued that Obama declined to involve the military in response to the attacks specifically to avoid violating the War Powers act. This creates another situation in which those crying most strongly for military involvement are simultaneously arguing against its use, as Congressional Republicans find themselves arguing both for and against military involvement in Libya.

First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico .

False. Secretary of the Interior Kenneth Salazar was temporarily held in contempt for enforcing new safety standards in February 2011. As he was appointed by Obama, one might safely argue he was acting as a proxy for the President. However, the claim as it stands above is false: Barack Obama was never held in contempt.

Regardless, as of this writing, those contempt claims have been resolved.

First President to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party

True, but with caveats. First, I assume this refers to the "individual mandate" of Obamacare. The Supreme Court has ruled the individual mandate a "tax", but the recipient of the proceeds of the tax will be a certain category of insurance provider. This tax is in lieu of the "single payer" taxation system which could not pass Congress due to opposition from Republicans and moderate Democrats.

First President to spend a trillion dollars on 'shovel-ready' jobs when there was no such thing as 'shovel-ready' jobs.

I have to change my rating from "True with Caveats" to "Mixed" in order to cover the complexity of the answer.

Tautology: Considering that the neologism "shovel-ready" did not exist until the Obama administration, it is impossible for previous presidents to

Tautology: Considering that the neologism "shovel-ready" did not exist until the Obama administration, it is impossible for previous presidents to have spent money on projects which used the term. It is a false statement that the President spent a trillion dollars on "shovel-ready jobs"; the Stimulus was $787 Billion and included a wide variety of monies allocated for various economic stimuli, not just "shovel-ready jobs". It is a true statement that the funds for "shovel-ready jobs" in many areas -- including $50 Billion for transportation -- in fact require further planning and allocation of resources before shovels can be used, and were not within 2-3 months of being ready for shovels at the time of the allocation of money for them.

First President to abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters.

Misleading. As part of GMs bankruptcy proceedings, the deal required that to qualify for a $50Bn restructuring loan GM favor obligations to employees -- including wages, pensions, and benefits -- over obligations to other creditors.

What's interesting is as of this writing, a search for "abrogate bankruptcy law" only turns up results involving this laundry-list of ostensible offensive "firsts". Abrogate means "to repeal", and the President did no such thing. He stipulated lender conditions for a loan which required favoring middle-class employees over institutional lenders. This requirement was accepted by GM and its creditors, though it may be safely argued that the US Government had GM over a barrel by this point: the creditors would have received virtually nothing without the restructuring loan, and this way received something rather than nothing. The complaint is from those creditors who would have preferred the restructuring loan favor their interests first over those of the employees.

First President to by-pass Congress and implement the Dream Act through executive fiat.

Two statuses: Tautology, and False. The DREAM Act did not exist in a form likely to be ratified under George W. Bush, and did not exist under any president prior to that. The Obama administration has announced that for the remainder of Obama's term, it will not deport illegal immigrants who meet the criteria to remain in the USA as specified in the DREAM act.

First President to demand a company hand-over $20 billion to one of his political appointees.

False. In response to encouragement from the administration, BP created a $20Bn fund to handle claims related to its Deepwater Horizon spill, which created a massive environmental and economic hardship in the Gulf region. To date, billions of dollars of the fund have been distributed to claimants under a variety of circumstances to repay damages to US citizens and corporations directly injured by their oil spill. Early complaints that BP was not administering the fund fairly -- distributing only $375M of the $20,000M -- resulted in BP handing over administration to an independent third-party administrator, Kenneth Feinberg. Feinberg was made famous for his even-handed handling of claims under the Bush administration when he was appointed by the Attorney General to handle claims related to September 11.

First President to tell a CEO of a major corporation (Chrysler) to resign.

False. As part of a taxpayer-funded restructuring loan, the Obama administration required new leadership at Chrysler. This requirement was not put in place for Bush's earlier TARP bailout of the company. However, this is not the first time the government has forced management changes as part of restructuring loans and government takeover of failing or monopolistic institutions. Demands for management changes -- particularly for monopolistic

Snopes?? Ha ha ha

I stand corrected! I forgot about the czar thing, ha!

"Period"!!!!

Only 2 terms is all. Nuthin at all.
