Yeah he did!


I don't want to hear this shit anymore from these haters "Obama has been in office a whole year and hasn't done anything, nor has he kept any of his promises." Besides the obvious bullshit of that statement, Obama has finally fulfilled the U.S.A.'s promise to its citizen all the way back to the establishment of the U.N. Deceleration of Human Rights of 1948 in article 25 which states(UN.org):
"* (1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control."
If you need to be refreshed, the UN was established as a replacement for the League of Nations after the second World war and was encouraged by the current president at the time Harry Truman. In a letter to the UN delegates President Truman wrote
"We represent the overwhelming majority of all mankind. We Speak for people who have endured the most savage and devastating war ever inflicted upon innocent men, women and children. We hold a powerful mandate from our people. . . . . We must build a new world " a far better world " one in which the eternal dignity of man is respected. (rightstohealthcare)"

Past presidents who tried to make it happen and failed include Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton (Slate.com) That isn't including his other accomplishments such as the Stimulus bill that goes to help tax payers, the opposite of TARP. He has strengthened foreign relations at a time in which the United States was loosing influence due to the economy, and finally telling Israel to stop their expansion into Palestine territory if they ever truly want peace. With that out in the open, tell me a more successful first year of a presidency that you remember?

Verizon overcharges Text happy family & Jiffy Lube hates the environment. Martellus the Blogger

A Cheyenne Teen sends 10,000 text messages in one month and leaves family with a $4,756.25. bill from Verizon (Denver Post)
"Dena Christoffersen, 13, had apparently been sending most of these messages at school. That's more than 300 texts within an eight-hour period every...Hours after the enormous bill arrived, Gregg Christoffersen took a hammer to his daughter's phone. "

According to Nokia the average size of a text message is 10Kb. meaning that she sent around 100,000kb which equals to 97.6562 MB of information being sent. Most peoples phones have more than a 100MB worth of storage space as well as most people have a free USB drive given to them with more than 100mb, yet Verizon thinks that much data to be transferred is worth almost $5000. That is outrages at those prices a 30GB hard drive would cost $1,572,000 dollars. I hope that Verizon adjust this bill to the true cost of sending data over their network, this cant be legal to charge that much, but of course it is. Phone companies don't need no rules.

Austin Jiffy Lubes pump oil into the city sewers and get hit with a $300,000 fine. (Austin American-Statesman)
"The water mixed with used motor oil that leaked from faulty drums stored in the pits, creating a toxic bath that sometimes was more than a foot high, Gray said. Instead of paying to dispose of the toxic soup, employees pumped it into a sink, and it went down the drain and into the city sewer system, Gray said...As part of the plea agreement, the corporation took out an advertisement in the American-Statesman on Thursday apologizing for the act. Patty Robertson, chief of the district attorney's office white-collar crime unit, said prosecutors asked for the apology to deter others."Heartland Automotive Services, Inc. is very respectful of our environment and regrets any damage that may have arisen from the ill-advised actions of a few of our employees," said a statement in the ad by Mark Rowberry. Robertson said Rowberry is Heartland's Austin-based regional manager. "
