Saved us from going into a full blown depression
Because limping along like a wounded duck is a better economic model.
Health care reform
For better or worse? All I know is mine got more expensive. I thought it was supposed to have something to do with making healthcare affordable...
Wall street reform
That must have been a secret program, because hardly anyone is getting jail time, and they're all still doing business like before.
Iraq & afgan drawdown
I thought we were supposed to be totally out of there by now.
Took out Osama Bin Laden
Navy Seals took out Osama. The Obama administration watched on tv.
Eliminated US use of torture
Yet still allows the killing of US citizens with drone strikes and totally disregards the 4th Amendment with the use of FISA.
Pretty much saved the USA auto industry
And taught those evil giant corporations that there are exactly zero consequences for failure.
Took out Moammar Gaddafi
More like "shot random missiles at Libya, while Libyans took out Moammar Gaddafi." Oh, and watched the Muslim Brotherhood take over.
Improved overall world opinion of the USA
After Bush, electing a chimpanzee could have improved world opinion of the USA. But more importantly, why should we care what other countries think of us?
Boosted fuel milage standards
And did nothing to help middle class familes who cant just run out and buy a new car and still have to commute...
Renewable energy development
Solyndra says what?
Increased VA budget
One good thing he might have done, overshadowed by the fact that gov't spending is already so far outta control...
Established tax credits to business for hiring vets
There would be plenty of jobs for vets, if the economy wasn't still in the toilet. Not to mention, I'm sure some of them wouldn't mind working security in places like schools, or maybe even our southern border.
Credit card reform
Some people need to learn how to be responsible with credit, even if its the hard way.
New START treaty
Political posturing. START has always been an excuse to get rid of crusty old nukes that cost too much to maintain, anyway.
Shrinking military spending
Obama? Responsible for cutting ANY kind of spending? You're joking, right?
Allowing the Dept. of Education to give waivers to districts to implement more realistic achievement testing instead of the old required testing under "No Child Left Behind".
If this was such a bad program, why not just scrap it?
