ROFLMYAO

President Obama gave himself a "pretty good" grade yesterday.

When a supporter shouted out that Obama was the "best president on Earth," Obama replied:
"Well, I won't say that -- but we've got a pretty good president."

Re: Obama says he's a 'pretty good president' -- do you agree?
He is doing better than most would in his current situation.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1138223

Really?.. It seemed like a miracle that our President was able to convince BP to
establish a $20 billion escrow fund to compensate those hurt by the oil
plume in the Gulf of Mexico . After all, he had no constitutional power to
force them to do so; so had to resort to Chicago-style negotiating.

Ever wonder why BP made the concession so quickly?

Take a closer look at the effect on BP's finances for the answer:

1. BP will establish a $20 billion fund, but will pay only $7 billion into
it during 2010.

2. BP is a British corporation, but has a very large operating entity in the
US . However, only about 30% of its income is derived from the US.

3. By Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), BP must book the
entire $20 billion expense in the year accrued. Therefore, they will book a
$20 billion expense in 2010, reducing their US tax liability by $7 billion.

4. The President also convinced this massive corporation to show their
concern for the "small people" by withholding dividends to their
shareholders for the last 3 quarters of 2010. This reduces their outward
cash flow by about $7.5 billion, including approximately 40% of that amount
to US citizens. If the Bush tax cuts survive through 2010, the US Treasury
will lose another $450 million in taxes on that amount. No need to even
discuss the effect on the US economy.

Now, let's summarize the results into bullet points easily understood by
all.

BP Cash Flow:

o Escrow funding ($7 billion)

o Dividend saving $7.5 billion

o Tax savings $7 billion

o Net favorable cash flow: $7.5 billion


US Treasury Tax Receipts:

o from BP Corporate income tax .... minus $7.5 billion

o from BP Shareholders' income tax ..... minus $0.45 billion

o Net loss of US dividend income tax receipts ..... minus $3.0 billion



o Total tax receipts loss: $10.95 billion. A huge hit!

Many feared this would happen. After all, our President was the most
inexperienced man in the room.

Did he "Kick Ass", or did he get "Sucker Punched"? Or, is this another
'backroom deal' Obama negotiated which will ultimately get him a huge
financial 'plum'? Should Obama be negotiating anything dealing with money
and finances at all?

Bottom line: The $20 Billion BP is putting up will create a $7.5 Billion
positive cash flow for BP this year and a $10.95 billion loss to our
Treasury.


But, Obama actually thinks he really did something special and "kicked ass'.

In reality, BP executives are laughing at him and kicked his ass. He is in
over his head when he starts dealing with savvy business people.

Yea right, he's good at using taxpayer money to campaign. I am quite sure the job description of President of the USA does not involve constant travel to campaign for his party. He needs to stay at the White House and do the job is being paid to do.

Given the real situation out there in the real world, as presidents go he is doing a decent job, a 'pretty good job'.

That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement.

Yeah I know, I know - Obama is the Antichrist...

The reality is that when he campaigned for this office he had no idea what he was getting himself into.

Now that he's been there for a while, he knows. That and the briefings.

We The People think our president has unlimited authority and power and can do lots of stuff, few understand that there is a process of government that does not allow sudden change.
 Quoting: Dr. House


I both agree and disagree with your statement above.

George Soros, Kissinger and a few others groomed Obama for this position since his college days. He was chosen for this position at this particular time, as a distraction causing racial and religious divide.

I can also prove that elements of the Bush regime even sponsored Obama during his rise to power.. They all knew he would be elected(including Obama, err Soetoro, himself).
(Look at the sponsor names on Obama's childhood statue in Kenya, first name on the list. Former Bush Sr. Advisor, Rudy Pesik. Also worked with Kissinger)
[link to www.cacci.org.tw]

Most images have this part of the statue obscured from sight. It's on the left side of the statue if facing it.

Search for "Obama Statue Kenya"

Here is just one reference for you:
[link to notenggakpenting.blogspot.com]
Here is a description of the statue:
"Supported By: Rudy Pesik, Mien R Uno, Judith Soeryadjaja, Hasyim Djojohadikusumo, Prananda Surya Paloh, Norman Chen, Benny Suyudono, Adisatrya Sulisto, B Chanel (Television), Pertners For Compassion". Lalu di sisi kanan tertulis: "Dedicated To The Children Of Indonesia By: Governor Fauzi Bowo, Friends Of Obama Ron Mullers, Dalton Tanonaka, December 10, 2009". Sedang di sisi belakang tertulis: "The Future Belongs To Those Who Believe In The Power Of Their Dreams".

Check some of the other names on that list out..


But you are correct, Obama's changes are really unimportant. The powers that be are making changes, behind the scenes, as the circus entertains the masses.

Hillary Clinton is exactly where she, and the establishment want her to be.. She holds a very powerful position, and pretty much travels all over the world without any media attention. I am sure Billy boy travels along with her on many of these trips. Who would know? The Clintons and the Bush family are working hand in hand, whether you wish to believe it or not..Along with other, more powerful elements.

Obama is just a distraction from the regular business of the orchestration of the coming NWO. America will collapse and enter a One World Government.. The collapse will be blamed on a Muslim sympathizing, radical socialist. While the Nazis that have infiltrated our Government continue with their crimes against the people.

George H.W. Bush warned you that this day was coming back in 1991, Sept. 11th to be exact..... But everyone really failed to listen:

It's here now, and it's going to get ugly.. Obama matters not one bit!

I would give him a grade of "F" for his performance at being president.

But it you were grading him on how successful he is at transforming our free society into a socialistic nightmare then he is doing pretty good.

Obama's rapid misallocation of capital towards failed banks was a death blow to America as we know it. There is no sense whatsoever is handing money to people who PROVE THEY CAN'T RUN A BUSINESS while starving capital from those who have proven they can run a business.

Under Obama, the Fed has been granted more power and have completely destroyed the capital markets with manipulation. The only game now is frontrunning the Fed and retail investors have been net sellers for months now. The capital markets are how companies are built and jobs come from companies. Under Obama's economic hit team, they are a shell of their former selves.

Can't say enough bad things about Obama from a financial perspective.

Don't get me started on the loss of freedoms under this shit hole eating mouth piece mother fucking Satanic (fill in the blank)
