They saved the taxpayers a lot of money by not going into a comprehensive investigation of the IRS?

Syria is giving up its chemical weapons without a shot fired.
His sanctions program against Iran brought them to the negotiating table-without a shot fired.
Ended our occupation of Iraq, and is reducing worldwide military footprint.
Got Bin Laden-something his predecessor failed to do.
His Republican Secretary of Defense wrote that "He thought Obama was absolutely right in every one of his decisions regarding Afghanistan." That's quite a statement.
Helped the country recover from the 2008 recession-stock market is vastly higher than when he took office, housing market is better than when he took office, unemployment is much lower than when he took office.
Failures:
The Obamacare rollout was a complete disaster. He spent all this political capital on the law, and then completely fumbled it. He lied to the public about Obamacare "you can keep your plan"-not true-and so far it is not reducing healthcare costs-something he also said would happen.
The economic recovery has been the slowest in history. 6 years after 2008, and the economy is still wobbly.

He (the IRS) did a fine job neutering the Tea Party during the 2012 elections.
Good job arming Mexican drug cartels
Like Santa, thanks to the NSA, he knows what you're thinking.
Reformed the solar power industry
Made being effeminate cool
Gave the country the wise Latina
And since he has a pen and a phone and zero regard for the constitution or the separation of powers, there's no telling what more he can accomplish over the next three years.

Fair enough.
Plus, he's advanced and passed legislation that have put at least some modest restraints on predatory lending and credit card company abuses.
Expanded medical care and other services for veterans.
New START and SALT treaties.
etc, etc

I can:
Armed Mexican drug cartels
Using the IRS against his political enemies
Taking down the health insurance industry
Put record numbers of Americans on the government dole, and is "improving" this number every day
Supreme Court nomination
Bypassing congress to adjust his signature legislation
Taken more vacations and played more golf than any president
Now, can play the race card quite well
I'll find more. He's done VERY well considering the fact that he had to lie about his intentions.

I have another
Obama has successfully gotten the Labor Participation Rate to historical lows in order to help promote an "improving" unemployment rate.
This one is probably his signature achievement. This helps expand dependency on him.

True. Bush refused to play golf with American armed forces in harm's way.

I started a thread on this in 2011 with an article that had Obama beating GWB, GHB and Clinton COMBINED on rounds of golf, money spent on vacations AND campaign fundraisers in just three years.
It was all documented and documented well.
I was called a racist, liar, etc, and the article was questioned. If I remember correctly, the writer was a Democrat from the Clinton admin.

IMHO, Bush, Clinton or any other POTUS could have achieved that modest list of completed missions.
Bin Laden? Surely, you realize that the military was working on that for years. The timing of the actual closure of that mission was dependent on factors other than the name of the POTUS at the time of closure.
But, you list that as an achievement of Obama himself nonetheless, and you take pains to note that it was something that "his predecessor failed to do."
That seems fishy to me. In colloquial terms, I would say: I see what you did there.
Your bias is showing.
