It appears the trend of complaints posted or whined here is that Obama hasdone nothing so far, Actually he probably has accomplished the most in 9 months than most American president in recent history. Here's the real story (copy freely):
1)Passed a stimulus act that pulled us back from the brink of an honest-to-God Great Depression II
2)Passed the Ledbetter act that corrected an injustice to women in employment discrimination law
3)Cut taxes for 95% of Americans (listening to Fox and tea bagging could make one forget 43% of stimulus was tax cuts!)
4)Reworked the bailout with conditions and sticks so that the banks have started repaying the TARP money Bush paid out
5)Started the process of re-regulating the banking/insurance/investment industry for the first real time since the 1930's
6)Allowed scientist and researchers pursue their life-saving craft in stem cells and brought science back to American prominence with events to honor and focus on scientists
7)Made it to the homestretch on healthcare reform other presidents have been trying to pass for 40 years
8)Seriously getting out of Iraq saving us $
9)Oversaw the killing of Al-Qaeda's top man in Pakistan and a host of other terrorist leaders
10)Got Pakistan to seriously start fighting the Taliban instead of leaving them to rule the mountains while stacking up the Indian border
11)Reworked our military budget from an ancient cold-war focus to a high-tech-focused counterinsurgency one
12)Outed Iran???s development of a second facility under previous admins watch with REAL intelligence. Working allies such as France to actually jointly lead on Iran
(13)Handled a hostage conflict giving the CIC initiative at appropriate time without ratcheting up the stakes or rhetoric resulting in the minimum casualty under the circumstances. Drove the fear of American vessels into those pirates
14)Got the politics and pressure out of the Dept of Justice
15)Dramatically modernized White House communications and technology and now changing white-house information stone-walling methods
17)Created a $2500 tuition tax credit to help shore up our woeful debt-burden on families
18)Reworked our student loan programs to cut out third party margin and waste
19)Created and started execution of plan to save our auto industry. (those screaming about 9.8% unemployment should think if GM and Chrysler had been allowed to fail and its reliant industries and dealerships. America the great with NO auto industry to aid our defense and 15% unemployment?)
20)Dramatically improved America's image abroad and rescinded un-American orders on torture
21) Nobel Prize for Peace? Americans - international recognition for your president is your own gain and regard
22) Health care reform farther than it ever has since Teddy Roosevelt (a Republican) iintroduced the idea
More than many did in 8 years and more working days than the past one golfed and vacationed on his ranch in 8.
