Left or right everyone has an opinion but to say he has accomplished nothing more than being the first Black president IMO is disingenuous at best. The fact is Obama was in office when those those items were accomplished not any elected president and he didn't accomplish much of it on his own.
Finally it doesn't matter what I "think" apparently the American people have decided to give him another try and that's the way it is. "Go figure".

Also, I believe Obama is hovering somewhere around 38% of promises kept from his 08 run.
PolitiFact | Has President Obama kept his campaign promises?
Lastly, per Yale University sociologist Jeffrey Alexander,
"Had Obama lost the election, he would likely have been remembered in history as the first black president, and maybe little else," Alexander said.
Lastly, lastly; The accomplishment list you posted is from a left of center Democratic point of view publication. Why for example would #25. Protected Two Liberal Seats on the U.S. Supreme Court: be an accomplishment in my opinion? |
