Debunking some claims.

[tnu]

OK this is just frustrating. I'm not sure if this would belng in failquotes or if it warrents its own thread or if it belongs in another thread but here we go. Temerit just made one of the most frustrating claims we regularly get from Obamatons. THe cnversation went osmething like this.

Taxes under Obama have been the lowest in over 75 years and up until the last couple months he hadn't raised any taxes so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

As far as regulation goes, the only substantial new regulation Obama has introduced is the Dodd-Frank bill, something that I think couldn't have been more warranted.



If you're talking about right wing claims of massive amounts of money going to failed green energy startups, most of those claims have been debunked time and again. Romney made these claims during the debates and the fact-checkers tore them apart.



Libya and....? For perspective we should remember that Libya was 1/1000th the scale of Iraq/Afghanistan in terms of money and the people there actually like us more now as opposed to Iraquis and Afghans that hate us. I still don't agree with it, but we don't have a near strong enough anti-war lobby in the US.

I'm not sure what other "war" you referring to him as starting? Drone strikes on Yemen?



What? http://cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-seeks-new-power-merge-agencies-pledges-some-action-or-without-congress

Are you referring to unemployment insurance and expansion of food stamps during the recession? Other than that I'm not sure what you could be talking about.




The biggest frustration is with the whole "Under Obama Taxes are the lowezst they've ever been" Bit. I'm pretty sure this is false in some why but I really need more information for this.
