A Short List Of Obama’s ‘Failures’ That Ben Carson Said Were ‘Too Depressing’ To List At The CPAC

In an attempt to win over potential voters, silly retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson said that Obama was such a failure that it would be “too depressing” to list all of the ways the president has failed during his CPAC speech yesterday. So we here at If You Only News are going to help Benny out.

Presenting President Obama’s biggest failures:

  • Passed Healthcare Reform: In 2010, Obama did what no president before him has been able to do and signed the Affordable Care Act into law. In its first year 8 million people signed up; in its second, roughly 11.4 million people became insured. THAT FAILURE!
  • Passed Wall Street Reform: Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010 in an attempt to regulate the financial institutions that brought this country to its knees in 2008. Republicans are now attempting to weaken these reforms in order to please their financial overlords. If it failed, why are they working so hard to stop it?
  • Killed Bin Laden: Obama authorized a Navy SEAL team to take Bin Laden out in 2011. Something Bush tried and failed to do for his entire presidency.
  • Ended the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: No more wars? How will Republicans survive?!!
  • Saved the auto industry: Thanks to Obama’s smart thinking and $62 million stimulus in 2009, the auto industry is now experiencing record profits.
  • Repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”: After 17 years of discrimination, members of the gay military were allowed to begin openly serving their country in 2011.
  • Reduced the federal deficit by more than half: Reduced the federal budget deficit from 9.8% of GDP in Fiscal Year 2009 under Bush, to 2.9% of GDP in 2014.
  • Stock Market soared: The Dow Jones is fully recovered from the recession in spite of Republicans and their dire warnings the Obama is going to kill the market with regulations.
  • Unemployment rate plummeted: The unemployment rate is now 5.6% the lowest it has been in a decade.
  • Job growth: The private sector has experienced 59 straight month of positive job growth. Republicans claim Obama’s policies will kill the private sector but just the opposite is proving true as he outperforms Reagan.

Oh yeah! Obama is a failure!! Wait a second……

    This guy. Smug, arrogant POS. What’s depressing is the fawning credence he gets.

  • Mike

    Under employment is the most it has ever been and the workforce is the smallest it has been in 40 yrs.
    Saved the auto industry? LOL! Uh no.
    And I had no idea it was Obama that killed Bin Lauden. Wars over? Then why do we still have military over there? Cut the deficit? Well that’s wonderful, too bad our overall debt had to balloon to $18 trillion to get there.
    And still waiting to see how many healthcare premiums are being paid and that $2500 annual average saving we were promised.
    Just another bs story from the liberal media.

    • Danielzinho

      Haha. You’re an idiot. I didn’t know that “Uh no.” was a valid argument. LOL.

    • LadiDD

      Why do you idiots insist on using old talking points?

      You parrots keep using the same bit over and over and over again, It’s already been established that his spending is one of the lowest among Presidents. Unemployment rate has been cut in half.

      Oh and Bin Laden? Have you seen him lately? And also on that note did you really think a President of a country would actively go to war zones these days? How stupid…

      • Alex Sawyer

        The unemployment rate has dropped in large part because people are finding only P/T jobs (i.e., they remain underemployed) and others have given up looking for work. The percentage of people in the workforce is lower than it’s been in decades.

        The problem with partisanship in this country is that people will blindly support whatever their side does without criticism. Just because the Republicans are largely useless doesn’t mean Obama and the Ds are always right. In the end, both parties have corporate interests at heart far more than they do the interests of ordinary people.

        • LadiDD

          I agree with most of your comments except for a few things.

          The baby boomers are starting to retire now and also older people who had to work just for their insurance are now able to retired and still have health care benefits without having to work. Not saying that’s good but it’s a start.

          No one is saying that the Obama and the Dems are always right but most of their stances are what a vast majority of the population wants. The problem is Democrats want to play Republican lite because Democrats have always been wussies and every time Republicans throw a tantrum they yield.

          And you’re right they both have shills that are in corporate pockets. However, Republicans sole purpose is for the corporations. They even pushed a bill to allowed more money to flood our political system. I can’t think of one Dem who is for that.

          So we can sit here a blame both parties but as citizens we are also responsible for the mess we’re in. Not just because of bipartisanship but also cynicism. You don’t think bipartisanship isn’t an issue in other countries? But in the US more people are willing to vote in American Idol or some other stupid show than for the political process. That right there is a major problem

    • Iowan

      Mike,of course you got your facts from Fox news because that’s where the bullshit you are trying to tell us originates. Obama authorized the raid that captured OBL, had it been Bush we would be still celebrating. Your facts of course are more bullshit. Remember ,opinions can’t be taken as facts. The debt that we have was balloned when Bush put the cost of the wars on a credit card-FACT. The deficIt has been reduced to 1/3 of what it was when Obama took office-FACT-CHECK THE G.A.O. records. Yes Obama authorized the bailout of the financial institutions AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY [G.M. & CHRYSLER- FACT]. Just because it’s not what you believe does not make it fact. Gte you head out odf the sand or better yet your head out of your rear and start accepting facts and NOT THE PHONY FOX NOISE FACTS. You right wingers just will not give Our President any credit. That’s OK ,we don’t care as long as he does his job,which he has done very well, unlike what John Bonehead Boerhner and The Turtle,Mitch McConnell have done. Get your facts straight or STFU.

    • tracy.J.

      Hay Mike, I’m betting that if President Obama told You it’s 10:00am on a Saturday “Morning” and the sun is shining in Your state,city and outside your home ….. (and lets say it is) You would argue that it’s 10:00pm on a Tuesday and the moon is is just bright.
      Oh Ya….and it’s all his fault!

      My point t is……No matter what this Man says or does You and the rest of the Rightwingnuts will deny it! Obviously the term (COMMON SENSE) is not in your vocabulary. SMDH!

      • vinvee

        Tracy J! You are so right on target! My firm belief is that until he bleaches himself (fully) and come back a different skin tone, we will continue to hear the negative rhetoric from those that are just simply “HATERS”!

    • James Anthony Tucker

      You sound stupid! Smh

    • vinvee

      Mike! WHAT COUNTRY HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING IN THE LAST 6 YEARS OR SO OR SHOULD I SIMPLY DECLARE YOU ARE IN DENIAL OR JUST PLAIN STUPID! BY THE WAY, I COMPLETELY BELIEVE WITH “IOWAN” TOO MUCH FOX NEWS!

    “Obama did what no president before him has been able to do and signed
    the Affordable Care Act into law. In its first year 8 million people
    signed up; in its second, roughly 11.4 million people became insured.”

    Yes, they “became insured.” Not “they were able to afford health care” — they “became insured.” Because they were forced to. What kind of accomplishment is that supposed to be? ACA didn’t rein in costs — it just forced people to participate in a bloated and broken system. The only people who have really benefited are big pharmas and insurance companies. ACA was a corporate sellout, and it baffles me why Obama supporters embrace it so dearly. If a Republican president had passed the exact same bill, they’d decry how horrible it was — as they rightly should. Don’t forget that ACA was hatched in a right-wing think tank.

    The funny, and sad, thing is that when he was running for president, Obama ridiculed the same kind of “reform” that he ended up signing into law. Back then, candidate Obama said forcing people to buy private insurance to “fix” health care made as much sense as forcing people to buy houses as a way to “fix” homelessness. He was right then, but he sold out.

    We need an affordable single-payer system, so that people don’t have to rely on buying private insurance to cover their costs, and so that no one ever has to worry about how they’re going to pay for their own health. Every time the left cheers ACA, they make it all the harder to gain any traction for real health reform in this country.

    • Austin Covello

      FINALLY! A legitimate argument against Obamacare. I only make $10 an hour, and I’m forced, because I’m employed, to get healthcare through my company or be fined. Between taxes and healthcare, I lose 25% of my check. Of that 25%, 35% is healthcare. When you’re living paycheck to paycheck, that’s a lot of money that you will lose if you never use it voluntarily. We need single-payer healthcare. Canada has it, and somehow THEIR economy doesn’t go belly-up. Why can’t we have it?

      • Johnny 5

        Then you are doing it wrong. If you make that little, you will get refunded / reimbursed for most to all of it. Talk to an advisor.

      • vinvee

        Move to Canada! That sounds like it may help your situation! No disrespect intended Austin Covello! However, this sounds like this may help you! Good luck!
