2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSo Candy Crowley said to David Plouffe that Pres Obama hasn't accomplished anything...
http://www.politicususa.com/cnn-disgraces-claiming-obama-accomplished.html/comment-page-1/#comment-194671I think we all need to educate Candy Crowley.
In fact I think we need to flood her email with a list of accomplishments President Obama has completed IN SPITE of having constant opposition from Congress.

icarusxat
(403 posts)He was a radio jokester who would trick people into getting angry over non existent issues. Only the really stupid would fall for his shtick. When he came on the scene pretending to be a serious radio personality I thought it was just another joke.

(12,821 posts)... against which they compare Presidential actions to see if they are actually an "accomplishment."
It's a pretty short list:
1) Is the President a Democrat?
Yes - Stop. No Accomplishment has occurred.
No - Go to #2.
2) Did the action create a tax break for the wealthy?
Yes - This action is an Accomplishment.
No - Go to #3
3) Did the action involve bombing a Muslim-majority nation?
Yes - This action is an Accomplishment.
No - Go to #4.
4) Did the action create an American Theocracy?
Yes - This action is an Accomplishment.
No - No Accomplishment has occurred.
End of checklist.

(3,073 posts)Asked the team to take some time and educate Ms. Crowley on some of President Obama's accomplishments and mentioned that there would have been more, had we not had a congress that put politics before people and before governing.

(326 posts)Apparently you are unaware of the subject matter when discussing President Obama's accomplishments during his time in office. In spite of obstructionism and great opposition (yes he had a democratic majority for two years but arcane Senate rules prevented him from being able to utilize that majority to his (and our) benefit. The following is a partial list:
Hes killed Osama Bin Laden.
Eliminated several other Al-Qaeda leaders
Ended the War in Iraq
Begun the drawdown of forces from Afghanistan
End-run Republican obstructionism by recess-appointing Richard Cordray to run the Consumer Financial Protection Board.
Obama has overhauled the food safety system
Advanced womens rights in the work place
Ended Dont Ask, Dont Tell (DADT) in our military
Stopped defending DOMA in court.
Passed the Hate Crimes bill.
Appointed two pro-choice women to the Supreme Court.
Expanded access to medical care and provided subsidies for people who cant afford it.
Expanded the Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Fixed the preexisting conditions travesty in health insurance.
Invested in clean energy.
Overhauled the credit card industry, making it much more consumer-friendly.

The Wizard
(12,547 posts)in a cheap disguise. They tanked when they lurched right to recover the audience lost to Pox. Then they lost the middle. Really bad management. Crowley has always been a right wing shill and second hand reporter.

(10,611 posts)She's a joke.
I can't believe they say that stuff with straight faces.
Whisp
(24,096 posts)so that tells you how far down the septic tank CNN has gone. She's smarter than Blitzer or King or those fakeoids.
what a fucking joke that station is.
a bigger joke that Fox in many ways.

(233 posts)I sent her the information -- she apparently can't get her head out from the rear ends of the repugniscum -- so the poor dear doesn't know what the news/truth/facts are.

riverbendviewgal
(4,253 posts)Once it was sold, it went downhill....and once W came into power it charged down the hill to try to match FOX News....I have never liked Crowley from the first time I saw her on CNN. She is a true blue suck up Republican. She belongs on Fox News but there may be a problem. They usually prefer blonde Barbies.
