What good things has Obama had since he is elected ?

[u9y42]

I'm under the impression all that was already set in motion long before Obama came around, though he certainly did nothing but help it out, after getting into office. Still, what do you mean by "emails are disappearing with regularity"? Did I miss an episode?

IRS scandal emails most likely were destroyed on purpose since most IT managers agree that those emails would have been retained somewhere in the system due to redundancy.  It's statistically impossible for intents and purposes - yet Holder refuses to assign forensics to see what is occuring.

Now HHS says email regarding the botched ACA website have gone missing.

Basically you can't punish people if you destroy evidence.  If you throw away the guns, kill all witnesses & destroy any video recording... what bank robbery 

It seems I really did miss those episodes. But that's no problem: I'm sure the ever helpful (and present) NSA has a copy of those emails somewhere... as well as any other agency/government that can somehow gain access to their databases.

OK President Obama is probably not the best US president in history but at least he is better than Pres. Bush.
He didn't rush in the new wars, tried to start peace talk in Israel and Palestine. tried to make friends with partners in Europe...
He didn't make some big success until now but still at least he tried to make some positive changes and this, in my opinion, makes him better than some other president in the near future.

Only a few short years after Bush left office several democracies have popped up in the middle east that were likely influenced by the war in Iraq (and Afghanistan to a less degree). As a result of the wars that Bush started the world is a much safer place.

And who will give the order to make those access available to the public to make that very government look criminal?

It does not matter if the NSA has a copy or not. The same way it did not matter if the NSA can see commercial airplanes being shot down and locate exactly where they crashed. Top secret. Why do you think http://www.nosuchagency.org/ is the official website of the NSA? I have to say they do have a sense of humor...

Brit Hume: Obama told a friend of mine before he was elected, “Wouldn’t it be great for the world if I were president?”

Bush never openly declared war on his own citizens.  Obama/Holder syndicate has effectively done this with their control of government agencies that they now use to target groups.  First they did it to the media and got away with it in his first term.  Since that got a pass from some of the media they went straight to gov agencies and now emails are disappearing with regularity.

It's like Enron shredders but with a national budget.

The IRS issue is prominent among a slew of incidents which could really benefit by an independent counsel's investigation.  To bad that such a process was thoroughly ruined and discredited by Ken Starr since it was a reasonably effective mechanism prior to his blatant politicization.  In my conspiratorial mind I have to wonder if this was not part of the goal of Starr's work.  No administration since has been bothered by independent counsel exploring their malfeasance, and during both the Cheney and Obama administrations the justice department has been laughable corrupt in facilitating anything the executive wants to do no matter how over-the-top.

To the OP:

Nothing good that others could not have done better, and nothing worse than anyone could have ever done.

I don't think Obama actually believes in wars, at least not with America's enemies.

To drag this topic back up.

I think Obama should get thanks from all progressive Russians who would like to see Russia as a stronger and more independent state. Obama has done more towards that goal than many Russian politicians.

Putin should really present Obama with a medal "For the services towards Russia", or maybe created additional medals "For promotion of Russia's statehood" and "For promotion of Russia's economic and industrial independence"



Thank you, Obama, for kicking Russia in the butt and waking it from a political and economical reverie, and for expanding Russia's economic ties by the means of the sanctions that primarily hit EU.
