"Here are the five things Obama could say to confound his right-wing critics and his liberal debunkers to prove that he has effectively promoted progressive causes ..."
First, rightwing critics are NEVER confounded. They pick through Dem words, twist them, and crank up propaganda bursts. And when there aren't enough good words to sift through, they make stuff up.
Second, "liberal debunkers" (I assume this means, 'liberals who disapprove of the very poor performance of President Obama) are where we/they are primarily because we're tired of words. For example, dubya set the schedule for leaving Iraq - as much as I don't like to admit it - so that accomplishment is really nothing. "Talking tough" on Syria does nothing more than slightly elevate the air temperature around the President's mouth.
Worse, saying you stopped the global slide is practically a lie - AND it represents another example that proves Obama has maintained dubya's policies. Stimulus was better than nothing, but nowhere near enough.
The American taxpayer (and very few others outside of this nation) are on the hook for $ trillions in loans the Fed made to foreign banks and entities [whilst 'saving' capitalism]. These may or may not blow up. But with Ireland having recently backslide into recession and most of Europe (and Obama) aflutter over "austerity" programs proved to further wreck economies, pessimism is the most reasonable attitude to take on the prospects of recovering the money.
Both of your goals are misplaced and unachievable.
