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.
