in the middle east to stop promoting and funding jihad is big (Not including Iran obviously). Islamic terrorism has decreased in the West. Saving the Economy from the subprime mortgage implosion was big too. Apples and oranges. And Obama faced so much manipulation in Congress to stop his agenda. Biden has to face off against MAGA and the right wing oligarchs. But he did get some great policy through.
