Do you sometimes wonder whether AP news is sucking it's Obama koolaid straight from the meat straw?

[mate]

The public panned it. Republicans obstructed it. Many Democrats fled from it. Even so, the session of Congress now drawing to a close was the most productive in nearly half a century.

Obama has also signed into law at least a dozen other pieces of legislation of significance. They include:

_Making college loans more affordable.

_The Cash for Clunkers program that helped rejuvenate the auto industry.

_New consumer protections for credit card users.

_Making it easier for women to challenge pay discrimination.

_Increasing federal regulation of tobacco products.

_Cracking down on waste in Pentagon weapons acquisition.

_Making attacks based on sexual orientation a federal hate crime.

_Giving businesses tax incentives to hire unemployed workers.

_Tax credits for first-time homeowners.

So where is the love?

YET FAILS TO MENTION THE POSSIBLE REASONS WHY?

I wouldn't call being destructive, being productive.

By that measure, a mass murder would be very productive, if he killed many people, etc.

Not saying that "everything" passed was bad, but the vast majority was; contributing to further debt, taxes, dependence. So, a net loss for America


_Making college loans more affordable. (Who pays for this? Think about it!!!) FAIL

_The Cash for Clunkers program that helped rejuvenate the auto industry.(Absolutely terrible idea. Only made foreign car companies richer, net LOSS)FAIL

_New consumer protections for credit card users.(Again, how does this affect costs, and who pays for it? It's part of a terrible, terrible financial reform law, granting never ending bailouts) FAIL

_Making it easier for women to challenge pay discrimination. Not familiar with this, but betting it's a bad idea, what are the details, curious to see

_Increasing federal regulation of tobacco products. (Who does this really hurt? comsumers; FAIL

_Cracking down on waste in Pentagon weapons acquisition. This appears to be a good idea. Is it workable? now "That" is a good question. I've never seen a government agency able to audit iteslf; Potential EPIC FAIL

_Making attacks based on sexual orientation a federal hate crime. FAIL FAIL FAIL. Hate crimes laws are ridiculous. It's either illegal or its not. Thought policing should have no part in it!!! EPIC, VERY SCARY FAIL!!!

_Giving businesses tax incentives to hire unemployed workers. Good Idea

_Tax credits for first-time homeowners. Good Idea
