Number 1: November 10: Obama asks the FCC to adopt tough Net Neutrality rules. ThemNew York Times wrote:
"In his most direct effort yet to influence the debate about the Internets future, President Obama said on Monday that a free and open Internet was as critical to Americans lives as electricity and telephone service and should be regulated like those utilities to protect consumers."
Number 2: November 15 to February 15, 2015: Open-enrollment for Obamacare begins, exceeding all expectations. NBC News reports that a new survey shows More than 10 million people got covered by health insurance over the past year, bringing the rate of uninsured down from 17.7 percent to 12.4 percent.
The Obama administration says just under 7 million people signed up for private insurance, often with federal subsidies, on the new exchanges over the past year. They expect 9 million to do so this year.
According to another article on NBC, 2.5 million people have signed up on the exchanges as of December 12th of this year.
Number 3: November 20: As Mother Jones reports, Obama concluded a climate deal with China that was not only important in its own right, but has since been widely credited with jump-starting progress at the Lima talks.
