PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, we're not done yet. I've got five more years of stuff to do. But not only saving this country from a great depression. Not only saving the auto industry. But putting in place a system in which we're gonna start lowering health care costs and you're never gonna go bankrupt because you get sick or somebody in your family gets sick. Making sure that we have reformed the financial system, so we never again have taxpayer-funded bailouts, and the system is more stable and secure. Making sure that we've got millions of kids out here who are able to go to college because we've expanded student loans and made college more affordable. Ending Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Decimating al Qaeda, including Bin Laden being taken off the field. Restoring America's respect around the world. The issue here is not gonna be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president -- with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln -- just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it. Read more: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/pj-glad...#ixzz1h6RXg0Sw So, Obama does not claim to be the "4th greatest president" at all (that's an outright lie) but simply lumps himself in against all the other presidents first two years, other than the excellent exceptions he lists, that he puts above himself. Wow. You guys really dig deep to try and justify your dislike of the President.

Politifact Obama promises accomplished
Or positively in the works (just a representative sampling):
Expand Veterans Centers in rural areas Fully fund the Combating Autism Act and Federal Autism Research Initiatives Increase special operations forces and civil affairs End the use of torture Urge China to stop manipulation of its currency value Reform the patent system Increase the size of the Army and Marine Corps Launch robust diplomatic effort with Iraq and its neighbors End the "Stop-loss" program of forcing troops to stay in service beyond their expected commitments Expand federal bioforensics program for tracking biological weapons Expand housing vouchers program for homeless veterans Restore the government's ability to manage contracts by rebuilding our contract officer corps Create a tax credit of $500 for workers Eliminated Medicare donut hole Covered Medicare recipients with better preventive healthcare Killed Osama bin Laden Killed most of Al Quaeda leadership Ended war in Iraq Prevented country from going into depression Saved American auto industry Killed Somali pirates, saved hostages Tried to close Guantanamo (blocked by states) Restrict warrantless wiretaps Lowered taxes Seek verifiable reductions in nuclear stockpiles Require more disclosure and a waiting period for earmarks Secure the borders (immigrant deportation at all time high) Provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants Saved millions in government money by eliminating bank middlemen for student loans Expanded student loan program so more students covered Reform mandatory minimum sentences Secure nuclear weapons materials in four years Ended Don't Ask, Don't Tell Strengthen antitrust enforcement Sign a "universal" health care bill If you don't have insurance, or don't like the insurance you have, you'll be able to choose a new plan on a health insurance exchange Create 5 million "green" jobs Create new financial regulations Reduce oil consumption by 35 percent by 2030 Four more years pretty much in the bag against the "competition" at this point. Unless you want to give up your Medicare and Social Security to private investment or health companies to manage, stop helping people who are poor & disabled, keep the US down in the upper 20's regarding educational level, and start another war with Iran. Choose freely when you vote. Unless you've lost your right to vote, as 5 million will, due to restrictive new GOP voter registration laws.
