OK..how about ...

1. Prevented a disastrous economy from collapsing by quickly passing a stimulus plan. Personally, I don't think the plan was big enough but it was as much as he could get passed.

2. Killed Osama Bin Laden

3. Eliminated many high-value terrorist targets around the world

4. Ended the Iraq War

5. Set a DEFINITE end to the quagmire in Afghanistan

6. Rescued U.S. Civilians from Somali pirates in a nail-biting
and courageous "Command-In-Chief" moment

7. Consolidated the student loan process, making it easier for the government (I.e. taxpayers) to get its money back, and streamlining it for students.

8. Passed the first step towards making Health Care more accessible to many Americans

9. TARP plan. As atrocious and sickening as the bail-out was, we got all our money back PLUS more.

10. SAVED THE US AUTO INDUSTRY . Seriously, he did. By recognizing that sometimes you need to step in and interrupt the "INVISIBLE HAND", The President brought life back to an important U.S. industry

11. Showing the world that the USA can be a partner and co-ordinate actions with other nations instead of being a cowboy and sending in the military for everything.

12. Hope. Yeah, I know it's corny but I feel better about this nation with Barack Obama at the helm. And the world does too.

P.S. - BTW, did I mention he got Bin Laden?
