Pete Bungum's BLOG - Day #26,048. Obama Poll Part II

Today is Monday, April 16, 2012 - it is cold and very windy for a mid-April day - but I'm grateful again for another day of "I'm HIV."

This morning I did yoga, lifted weights and walked 42 minutes = 2.3 miles for an April total of 37 miles.

Today I will continue creating my poll about the "actions" and "positions" taken by President Obama in his first three years in office. If you HATE this "action' or "position" put "H" in the blank.

16._____ Under Obamacare parents can keep their kids on their own health insurance plan until
                 age 26.

17._____ President Obama has come out against the Supreme Court decision to allow corporations, businesses, and unions to create SuperPacs which allow them to give unlimited amounts of money to the campaigns of their chosen candidates.

18._____ President Obama has made college education accessible to hundreds of thousands more students by ending billions of dollars in subsidies to banks and using the savings to double funding for Pell Grants.

19._____ President Obama's "stimulus" plan saved as many as 3.6 million jobs by cutting taxes, investing in clean energy, roads, and bridges, and keeping teachers in the classroom.

20._____ President Obama inherited these tough economic times but has protected unemployment benefits for millions of the unemployed.

21._____ Despite strong opposition President Obama courageously went to the aid of General Motors and Chrysler saving 1.4 million jobs - both are now profitable thanks to his actions.

22._____ Under President Obama the private sector has created nearly 3 million jobs during 21 straight months of private sector growth.

23. _____President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Bill to protect American families from unfair lending practices, rein in excessess on Wall Street and prevent future financial crises.

24._____ President Obama is pushing Congress to pass the Buffett Rule which will
close tax loopholes and ensure that millionaires and billionaires don't pay less in taxes than their secretary or other middle class taxpayers.

25._____ President Obama kept his word by bringing the war in Iraq to a responsible end and bringing home our troops.

26._____ President Obama ordered the Navy Seals to capture and kill Osama bin Laden.

27._____Under Obama's orders many of the other top Al-Qaeda leaders have been killed.

28._____ Obama got "Don't Ask Don't Tell" repealed which has established some fairness and justice for the thousands of gay and lesbian soldiers who are so loyally serving our country.

29. _____On May 19, 2009, President Obama announced new fuel ecomomy rules for U.S. automakers. The new rules are 39 mpg for cars and 30 mpg for light trucks to be achieved by 2016.

30._____One of Michelle Obama's projects for America is to get off our butts and get moving.
