Net Neutrality
Not invading Syria
Support of NATO allies
Killing Bin Laden
Cars for Klunkers actually worked very well
As did the stimulus (it's true, it did!)
Wall Street reform. Imperfect but needed to be done.
Kicked banks out of Federal Student loan program. Pell Grants instead.

That has been debunked long before Obama.

It only takes a few minutes to look at any of the 54 countries in the continent of Africa,the 33 countries making up Central American & the Caribbean, or the 12 countries in South America.

Decency of him and his family, Killed Bin Laden, pummeled terrorists with drones, got insurance without pre-existing conditions part of national expectations, and advanced woman's rights. I am not a huge Obama supporter, but history will judge him kindly.

Made the easiest call in Presidential history by killing Bin Laden.

But, just because it was an easy call, doesn't mean I don't like it.

He allowed my wife to stay on her parents insurance throughout grad school, which was a big help because we paid her school out of pocket.

Sincerely: I was fine with the defrosting with Cuba. I don't care about Castro, or Cubans. It needed to happen. The Cold War is over.

I was also fine with our lack of troops on the ground in Libya, and light presence in Syria as a step forward in the right direction (non envolvement in foreign wars).

I also was fine with a thawing of relations with Iran. My issue with our Iran deal is not that we signed some rediculous deal with them, but that we held them to some silly conditions that we knew they would violate without care. Never make a rule you know won't be followed, that you won't enforce.

He jumped ahead of Hillary and beat her in the 2008 primary giving us only 8 years of Democrat rule instead of 16 had he waited until 2016. Very thankful for that.

Yeah if it really has to happen, and I think it does to leave the Middle East in some balance, an Iran deal should have been either like Cuba, where we say "frick it, we don't care" or with actual force behind it.

Obama never figured out how to project strength while extricating from an area.

1. Didn't invade syria with large scale maneuver forces.

2. Iran deal

3. pissing in Israel's cereal

4. limited boots in Iraq during ISIL invasion

In truth, BHO still fricked all of these up, but I can appreciate that he didn't completely frick us.
