What were the most notable accomplishments made by Barack Obama during his presidency?
I give President Obama, and just about any other President, a difficult time because a lot of their decision making, makes little sense to me but I can speak highly of any President I'm versed on, and yes, the includes President Obama.President Obama has made achievements that transverse across a few areas including:1. The ACA, or the Affordable Healthcare Act, which basically expanded healthcare coverage via public and private initiatives and mandates.2. He managed, with a bit of assistance from his predecessor, to navigate the US out of a recession.3. In concert with other parties, he orchestrated the US to address the Ebola crisis in a responsible way.4. Via executive order, he has helped hundreds of thousands of "illegal immigrants" to not only stay here in the US, but by pushing the DREAM Act to let them get an affordable college education.5. Though its not his policy directly, he did withdraw US troops from Iraq. That's up for debate rather he did it or even if it was a gold thing to leave.6. He Presided over a period in which all Americans have the right to marry. While that's an action of the Supreme Court, I'll still score it as a victory for President Obama.7. He managed, in concert with our UN partners, to bring the earth together for true dialogue on climate change.8. The Iranian Nuclear Deal, need I say more?9. Once again, not a direct result of his policies, but under his reign the US has become the largest or second largest oil producer on earth. This is important because its been a message within American politics to always say "make the US energy independent" and well, we're definitely moving that direction rather one is pro oil or not.10. He restored US relations with Cuba, and will be the first President in nearly nine decades to visit Cuba next month.Admittedly so, this was a difficult list to come up with off the top of my head and the order of this list doesn't suggest the importance of the accomplishment.Best,Demetrius Hicks
Is there any truth to the NRA's allegation that “Barack Hussein Obama and European leaders are plotting the confiscation of Americans' guns”?
I don't think this is the right question ask. It should be 'are their groups of people who want to take your guns away'?First off the probability of you getting killed by a gun is near zero. Its just media and politics that makes people think it's a big issue. Half of 'gun violence' are suicides. There were 13k KILLINGS (not murders) in 2015, out of just under 400million people, that is 1 in 30,769. You should also take into consideration that the majority of murders are directly or indirectly related to the drug trade and gangs on gangs; and really, who cares about them. The statistics are undeniable.To that question the answer is LOUD YES. Here is the evidence... 1. It has already happened before. During hurricane Katrina the New Orleans police and military went door to door confiscating weapons. Katrina GUN CONFISCATION and Witness Reports of RAPE 2. Chicago, Washing, New York have had a full out gun ban for 40 years. Chicago Gun Ban Ruled Unconstitutional By Federal Judge 3. There was a ban on 'Assault' riffle purchase ban from the 80's - 90's. Here is a bill in 2015 trying to reinstate the ban Text - H.R.4269 - 114th Congress (2015-2016): Assault Weapons Ban of 2015 . The4. There is a currently a ban on full auto's. exception is made if you have a class 3 weapons permit.5. The current tactic of liberals is to ban features of guns. For example, assault riffles in CA must have a bullet button, 10 bullet clip max. The list of banned 'features' keeps on growing slowly.6. Another tactic of liberals is to create registry lists. This only reason why this is being done is to keep track of who has guns.7. The final tactic is to limit ammo, outlaw certain kinds of ammo. Again, the kind of ammo used doesn't matter when it is a head shot. lol.8. In the 20th century, 100 million people were murdered by their OWN government. In almost all the cases, a gun ban and confiscation was successfully implemented beforehand.Now the stats...
