What exactly has Obama done in the nearly three years he's been president. Why would anyone call him a leader? All he did was:
Save the auto industry
Pass Health Care (unpopular because health care is bad)
Stopped a depression
stimulated by the economy to the tune of a couple of million jobs
ended Don't ask Don't tell
shot Bin Laden in the face
expanded gun laws more than any other president in history
sweeping change in patent laws
got rid of Qaddafi without the loss of a single American life
Saved Christmas for millions of Americans whose unemployment was about to be cut off
moved tens of thousands of soldiers out of Iraq
two female Supreme Court Justices
Provided travel expenses to families of fallen soldiers to be on hand when the body arrives
Reversed the policy of barring media coverage during the return of fallen soldiers
Provided the Department of Veterans Affairs with more than $1.4 billion
Require HC to disclose how much of the premium actually goes to patient care
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to look out for the interests of everyday Americans
law requiring lenders to verify applicants' credit history, income, and employment status
Cut prescription drug cost for medicare recipients by 50%
Policies that created more private sector jobs in 2010 than during entire Bush years
New START Treaty - nuclear arms reduction pact with RussiaAnd he did the after inheriting two wars, a 10 trillion dollar deficit, an exhausted military, a trashed Justice Department, a deregulated Wall Street and a broken economy.
At the same time, fighting a political party who only goal was to destroy his presidency, who wanted him brought down, even before he was sworn in. A party that voted time and again against their own proposals and policies and against the interests of their base, in an attempt to ruin the President of the United States. A party that insisted he's not "American". That he's a Manchurian Candidate. A conspiracy. A man who did everything right, except be born white.
Do we really need to list Republican achievements during the six LOOOOONG years they held both houses, the presidency and had a majority in the Supreme Court? It's a very short list. So short I couldn't think of a single positive thing.
Imagine what Obama could have done if Republicans could get past his skin color?
Fuck Iran right?
