Why I am for President Obama Still

In spite of the most unprecedented obstruction from the Republican Party in modern times...in spite of inheriting the worst economy in almost a century...in spite of those who oppose anything this man proposes, I am for President Obama still because he has delivered an amazing list of accomplishments. Just a few include: 1) He got Osama bin Laden and has wiped out most of the al-Qaeda leadership; 2) after inheriting the worst economy in 90 years, we have had 27 months in a row of job growth; 3) ended the longest war in US history in Iraq that he didn't start; 4) ending the war in Afghanistan that he didn't start; 5) Lillie Ledbetter Act - fair pay for women; 6) ended DADT; 7) efforts to reform healthcare in spite of obstruction from the Republicans who did nothing to reform healthcare under Bush except give half a trillion dollars to Big Pharma; 8) got a tax break for working Americans in spite of Republican opposition; 9) increased infrastructure spending; 10) ended the wasteful F-22 saving billions; 11) Race to the Top beginning improvements to education; 12) saved the US auto industry and millions of jobs; 13) stimulus saved millions of jobs; 14) expanded SCHIP healthcare to 4 million additional children; 15) enacted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; 16) allowed increased embryonic stem cell research; 17) New Start arms reduction pact with Russia; 18) protected us from terrorists within the bounds of the Constitution; 19) new weekly unemployment claims at 4-year low; 20) hiring initiatives for veterans; 21) permits Medicare to negotiate for lower drug prices ending Bush practice of paying top prices to Big Pharma and saving hundreds of millions; 22) ending tax breaks to companies that send jobs offshore; 23) ended torture programs; 24) provided additional fairness to gay citizens; 25) came out in support of marriage equality; 26) Dodd-Frank Act to bring sane regulation back to our financial institutions; 27) continued to protect our environment including demanding a sane review of the issues related to the Keystone Pipeline; 28) prioritized immigration enforcement resources implementing a policy to allow productive law-abiding young people to stay in the country; 28) while serving as an incredible role model for fathers and husbands.
