1. Thank you for never giving up the fight for the Affordable Care Act – ‘ObamaCare’ – and bringing comprehensive health insurance to 30 million people.


2. Thank you for expanding health coverage for over 4 million more children with the Children’s Health Insurance Authorization Act.



3. Thank you for putting two qualified and outstanding women on the Supreme Court.



4. Thank you for refusing to hide the cost of war, unlike your predecessor.



5. Thank you for bringing the Iraq war to an end and bringing troops home to their families.


6. Thank you for your courage in bringing OBL to justice when the naysayers derided and mocked you for your promise to the American people.



7. Thank you for choosing diplomacy first with Syria and securing a deal that began the removal and destruction of chemical weapons.

8. Thank you for pursuing diplomacy with Iran through sanctions not war and pushing for an interim deal that came to fruition after 34 years of failures.


9. Thank you for the drawdown of the war in Afghanistan and putting an end date to combat involvement by troops.


10. Thank you for improving America’s image abroad by stretching your hand out to allies and non-allies alike, beginning with your 2009 inaugural address and your historic Cairo speech.
