10 Major Accomplishments By Obama - Since The Midterm Elections

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 Internet’s 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.”

..............................

Seven, yes, seven MORE major accomplishments in the last two months at the link..... Cuba, Bristol Bay environmental protection, transgender employment protection...much more....but if you think perfection is the enemy of the excellent, please do not look and be in any doubt about your viewpoint.

Because a good chunk of you voted out of your asses, or didn't even vote at all, we will be rewarded with two years of Obamacare repeals and attempts to name even more shit after Ronald Reagan.
