Democratic Website Publishes List of Obama Accomplishments, Half of Them Are the Names of People He's Killed

Mike Riggs | 6.12.2012 11:14 AM

Because the studio audience needs to know when to clap, the Democratic Hub, a forum for the "Advanced Liberal Political Community," keeps a running tab of President Obama's accomplishments. Half the list, as Charles Davis points out, is dead people:

The rest of the list contains many more evil Muslims, which proves that Obama truly is the best.

12/17/11: Surely there must be a mistake. My friend's husband is being sent to Iraq now. He must have gotten the wrong orders or something.

  He must be a uniformed consultant/security training specialist/noncombat observer/anything but a soldier.

      I don't think anywhere uses DD/YY/MM, so, umm, yeah, I guess it was a shitty joke now that I've had to explain it.
      1. anon 13 years ago
        
        Yeah, went right over my head until I put it into context and read your joke correctly.

        Thanks for the admission, but that doesn't absolve my substandard jokery.

  My brother in law is a Major in the Army (MP) and is being deployed to Iraq in about 3 weeks. He just got his clothing allowance, which is for civilian clothes. He still hasn't gotten his directive and his orders are merely to report to the US Embassy in Baghdad.
  
  It's all bizarre.

    Sad to say - that is typical, if he is USAR.
    In '98 I was just told to go to Ft. Benning - and you will end up in Europe somewhere related to the Bosnia thing.

the best part about this tactic is that if the kill list were tied to a Repub, it would be used as reason to oppose that person. Good to know Democratic Hub is staunchly committed to principle.

If Romney is elected, we may have the answer to the question of what happened to all the peaceniks who used to protest the guy without the kill list?

Possibly to defang the right-wing nuts who think he is a "secret Muslin".
1. wareagle 13 years ago
  
  actually "secret Muslim" does not work the way you think it works - those killed become instant martyrs, replaced by a new body.
2. R C Dean 13 years ago
  
  Killing a bunch of Muslims isn't exactly inconsistent with being a Muslim, secret or no, so I'm not sure how the kill list rebuts the notion that he is a secret Muslim.

  It's Bush's fault.

Hey, nothing polishes a Nobel Peace Prize like the blood of Muslims.

06/07/11 - some dude gets whacked at a Somali checkpoint and it is listed as an O!-complishment?

These guys must have a good medical plan to cover all the stretch injuries they must be accruing.

  Sir, you beat me to it.
  
  Anyhoo, "senior Al-Qaeda" dude gets whacked ....

Would someone please inform me how murdering people now counts as an "accomplishment?"

Shouldn't Bin-Laden be awarded the next peace prize?
1. kibby 13 years ago
  
  That would be rich, a posthumous award to someone killed by the previous Peace Prize winner. I so want this to happen now so the universe can implode!
2. Whiterun Guard 13 years ago
  
  Oh come on now, you have to apply feelings not the cold blooded analysis of logic and law. What are you, a robot?

    Aren't all libertarians considered robots to (insert "compassionate" TEAM PLAYER here)?

        except Daleks aren't robots. apparently neither are Cybamen, according to the new writers.
        
        Autons maybe, but they didn't have a nifty catchphrase.
        
        Whiterun Guard 13 years ago
        
        All right then:
        
        AUTOBOTS, ROLL OUT.
        
        fried wylie 13 years ago
        
        not from Dr. Who, but I can't help but appreciate the image of the Autobots wiping out mankind.
3. Aresen 13 years ago
  
  Alfred Nobel specified that the awards could not be posthumous, so bin Laden is ineligible.
  
  Obama tagged OBL first, so he wins.

Too bad the list doesn't include Obama's Peace Prize. With all the killings, that would be the ultimate "fuck you" to anyone who voted for him.
1. Rich 13 years ago
  
  Perhaps he could order a drone strike on the Prize itself.
  1. fried wylie 13 years ago
    
    The Prize is so peaceful that it is immune to any form of violence.

I'm more concerned about those things he signed into law, because I don't recognize any of those bills. Thanks, like I wanted to research these not-so-new ways my life is getting screwed over.
1. Concerned Citizen 13 years ago
  
  Fred, those bills were on the internet for you to read for a full five days before they were voted on. The Chosen One promised as much.
  1. fried wylie 13 years ago
    
    Five days is insufficient for me to read thousands upon thousands of pages of gobbledygook.
    1. Concerned Citizen 13 years ago
      
      I agree, and I don't think he's done this with even one bill. Madame Pelosi was just stating administration policy when she said we'd have to pass Obamacare to see what was in it.
    2. sloopyinca 13 years ago
      
      Five days is insufficient for me to read thousands upon thousands of pages of gobbledygook.
      
      If you're gonna quote Nancy Pelosi, you should at least cite her.
      1. fried wylie 13 years ago
        
        I was paraphrasing. Booyah!
2. Xenocles 13 years ago
  
  The best part of putting the bills on there is that it presupposes that the new laws are any good.

Obama 2012 for Assassin-in-Chief. He kills foreigners and American citizens with equal impunity.
1. T 13 years ago
  
  But how are his parkour skills? That seems to be necessary to be a good assassin.
  1. darius404 13 years ago
    
    That's where the in-Chief part comes in. He just sits back and takes the credit while someone else has the hard task of remotely bombing indistinct figures with unknown identities.

The glaring omission of this list is the complete American Middle Class and all the American soldiers that died in Iraq, Afghanistan and all the other bullshit wars that Obama is so proud of.
Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for what exactly?
PM 13 years ago

Does it make me a bad libertarian and/or racist that I really don't give one shit about any of the foreign terrorists Obama has bumped off except to the extent that it demonstrates his hypocrisy compared to his campaign rhetoric? I mean al Awlaki was one thing since he was an American, but if Obama wants to use the blanket powers congress granted the president in the Authorization to Use Military Force Against Terrorists to go blow Achmed al Zubi von Halalalalalal of Al Qaeda branch #0734 into bits all over the middle east, I have to admit that it really doesn't break my heart.
Brian from Texas 13 years ago

If Obama gets 4 more years we'll probably see "Joe Thomas in Omaha" killed by a drone added to the list too. In all fairness we'll probably see it on Romney's kill list too.

Obama have a long plan for this bill in the future.

That would make Barack Obama a "cowboy" or "gunslinger", right? Surely there must be many media articles and protest marches condemning these deaths?
