Despite inheriting an economy that was in the deepest recession in generations and a foreign policy that left our standing in the world intatters and the nation less secure, the President has had one of the most successful first years in recent history. As a result of his leadership, and largely without Republican support we have:
Passed and implemented a Recovery Act that as multiple reports have verified not only saved the economy from the brink but also funded up to 2 million American jobs.
Provided tax cuts for 95 percent of working families.
Rebuilt an economy that is growing for the first time in over a year.
Cut job losses from almost 800,000 a month to 20,000 a month.
Made the largest investment in green technology in history.
Made the largest investment in education in history.
Lifted the ban on stem cell research and restored science to its rightful place.
Raised fuel standards after years of stagnation and objection.
Ended predatory credit card practices.
Made equal pay for equal work more than a platitude with the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
Expanded health coverage to 4 million more low income American children with the expansion of SCHIP.
Expanded benefits for loving couples that work at the State Department.
Lifted the discriminatory, inhumane and unwise ban on immigration of those with HIV/AIDS.
Started a process to end the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy to allow patriotic Americans to serve and be true to themselves while we fight two wars.
Begun to responsibly wind down the war in Iraq.
Implemented a new way forward in Afghanistan in the face of withering criticism from the right and the left.
Enhanced American security by repairing our alliances and by restoring the rule of law and our standing in the world.
Successfully managed the outbreak of the H1N1 epidemic.
Prohibited lobbyists from serving on important boards and commissions.
Banned federal lobbyists and political action committees from contributing to the DNC.
Enhanced transparency by making all visitors who enter the White House and the names of those with whom they met publicly available.
And there is more change on the horizon because of the President's efforts this year:
We've helped pass bills in Congress that will make college loans more affordable and create a cap and trade system that will make this generation a steward of the environment for generations to come.
For the first time in over 100 years of trying, both Houses of Congress have passed comprehensive health reform bills.

One other thing....He promised to pull out of Iraq, but now we are in Afghanistan....does that make sense?...what is the difference between having war in one place over another?

You have to have skills to get a job.
Have you applied?
Nope, probably easier to whine than to take action.

cAN wE PLEASE CUT ALL THE "DEMOCRAT" personal attacks out on this Effing site....lol..but for real i post something that questions the subject and you attack me instead of answering the question that leads to the truth....you don't know me and if u want to find out about my daily job hunting routine just come along ..i'd be happy to have you look with me..but for real why do all Obama lovers get so heated to the point that they attack another poster all the time on here instead of responding to the subject....it's a sign of immaturity to attack my personal life instead of the subject....now i forgive you ok...but think about why you do this and what good it really does to show everyone an example of your beliefs by doing this?
If you're employed, you may just have one of those 2 million jobs.

In simple terms, one place had nothing to do with 9/11, and the other did. For more details, see any of the hundreds (thousands?) of threads on the topic.

Even so...Muslims pray to Allah which is their name for God.
Who do you pray to? Whoever it is.. you ain't listening.

Well no i don't have a job to answer your first question, and i can't find one...everybody i apply to work for says business is too slow
Second thing..about 9/11.....now we were attacked by a small group of 20 guys right?....well we captured some of the ones responsible, but tha boogeyman/osama is still out there...i understand the fighting terror thing because we want our people safe..but why search and destroy all organizations overseas when they just multiply..that strategy creates more enemy's ...there is no way to win that kind of war because it's not a country or army we are fighting...it's like if 20 crip gang members blew up a building here and killed hundreds of people...would we kill every crip gang member in every city because of this?
One other thing is that if it is a war on terror....then why aren't we protecting our borders as well?
Chardonnaye, you forgot the facts that he made flowers smell wonderful and he signed a bill to make the sun rise every day.
