OTOH, (and these are real questions) has he taken down the patriot act? Has he
closed Guantanamo prison? Has he officially ended govt condoning torture? Has
he subjected US troops to international laws as most countries do?

If I were President Obama, I would be feeling very unappreciated right now,
considering all that was accomplished during his first four year in office.
1) When president Obama assumed office in Jan 2008, the economy was
hemorrhaging jobs at the rate of around 800,000 to 600,000 per month. This
continued over a period of 10 to 12 months; before, the Obama administration
was able to reverse the trend. It is true unemployment stayed above 8% for 43
months as Governor Romney claims, but this is misleading in that around 12
months of that were months in which the economy lost job, due to the Great
Recession, and the following 30 to 32 months the economy added jobs finally
bring unemployment down to 7.8%
2) The Great Recession of 2007 ended sometime during the summer of 2009, and
the economy began to expand again; rather than contract (eg deflate).
3) President Obama saved the auto industry.
4) President Obama passed Universal Health Care.
5) President Obama ended "don't ask, don't tell".
6) President Obama brought the stock market back form its DJIA low of
6,547.05, March 9, 2009, to a high of around 13,500 today, which is within
striking distance of setting new all time highs.
7) President Obama appointed 2 women to the Supreme Court, one of which was
the first Hispanic to ever sit on the bench.
8) President Obama ended the war in Iraq and is bring the war in Afghanistan
to a close.
9) President Obama took out Osama bin laden
