Obama.... objectively comparing to Bush

[okaawhatever]

17. A few more accomplishments:

Lily Ledbetter Act
Opening up military jobs to women
The DREAM Act
Obama also doubled funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership which is designed to improve manufacturing efficiency.

Obama signed and fought for the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act, expanding on the Making Home Affordable Program to help millions of Americans avoid preventable foreclosures. The bill also provided $2.2 billion to help combat homelessness, and to stabilize the housing market.

Worker, Home Ownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009, Obama and Congressional Democrats provided tax credits to first-time home buyers, which helped the U.S. housing market recovery

He created a $60 billion bank to fund infrastructure improvements such as roads and bridges

Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Obama saved at least 300,000 education jobs, such as teachers, principals, librarians, and counselors that would have otherwise been lost.

Made higher fuel efficiency standards part of the Auto Bailout

Obama dismantled the Minerals Management Service, thereby moving forward to cut ties between energy companies and the government.

FATCA-Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

He made a deal with Swiss banks that permits the US government to gain access to the records of criminals and tax evaders. He has also recovered over 1.5 Billion in fines from the banks and unknown amounts of tax dollars

Took the student loan program back from the banks. Prior to Obama the American taxpayers were responsible for defaulted student loans but the banks received all the profits. Now, the gov't "owns" the loans and the banks are paid a percentage to process the loans. This has resulted in billions being taken from the banks and put back into the education system (Yes, so far Obama has taken all the surplus and reinvested back into education).

He extended benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees.
He issued a Presidential Memorandum reaffirming the rights of gay couples to make medical decisions for each other
Obama has appointed more openly gay officials than anyone in history.

Obama wrote and signed an Executive Order establishing a White House Council on Women and Girls to ensure that all Cabinet and Cabinet-level agencies evaluate the effect of their policies and programs on women and families.

He expanded funding for the Violence Against Women Act
He authorized a $1.4 billion reduction in Star Wars program in 2010

I could go on.....
