1. Through his "Making Homes Affordable" program I was able to re-finance my home because I was laid off during Mr. Bush's Great Recession in early 2008. Through this program I managed to keep the home. Because I strictly complied with the rules my actual interest rate on my mortgage was dropped (just a little bit) and the bank is crediting me bonus incentives for making my mortgage payments on time.
2. Law Enforcement programs supported by the administration have cause a significant drop in crime here in Philadelphia, New York, and in many cities across the country. My city has been safer and statistics reveal a 40 year low in most crimes.
3. The support for the equal rights and dignity of the LGBT Community has been wonderful. The last several years has been a glorious triumph of supporters (like me) of gay rights and advanced the cause of civil rights and marriage equality for the LGBT community.
4. The capture and death of bin Laden happened under his watch - not that I give him any credit for it personally - still ... it happened under his watch.
5. Although I had insurance through my employer - I was not technically one of the uninsured needing a policy under the ACA - I was able to drop the cr-ppy policy my company provided and get a much better policy with a different insurance company that was not only better BUT CHEAPER!!! Because I had a pre-existing medical condition, this very company had denied me coverage before Obamacare took effect, as did others. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) does have problems with it and I don't want to come off as praising it to the skies, but for me it worked.
6. In my city there is a building boom going on. Just within a square mile of my house several highrises are going up - equalling an astonishing 3.5 Billion dollars of new construction. On top of that new skyscraper of around 1100 feet is going to built that is going to be the tallest building outside NYC and Chicago downtown. If that isn't indicative of an improving economy I don't know what is.

He has royally p*ssed off the conservatives and that's ALWAYS a good thing. Just hoping Hillary will continue that tradition when she's elected.
Liberal Translation:
As long as the Republicans are p*ssed off, who cares about the country or the people? Let's bring in Hillary so that we can continue to screw the country and its people!
