-- revolutionized health care
Obama Care started reforming health care on March 23rd 2010 after the Affordable Care Act law was put into place. The law was meant to “provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and reduce the growth in healthcare spending, and for other purposes.”
Obama… got Osama.
Most people can agree that Osama Bin Laden was a very dangerous person. Let’s not forget Osama was in charge of killing thousands of US citizens. During his first term as the US president, Obama ordered the US Navy Seals to fly from Afghanistan to Osama Bin Laden’s house in Pakistan.
In 2011, Obama ended the war in Iraq
It was a promise he made when he was still a Senator and he certainly delivered his promise. In 2011, the last of the 100,000 troops returned to their families. In his announcement speech, Obama stated that:”The last American soldiers will cross the border out of Iraq—with their heads held high, proud of their success, and knowing that the American people stand united in our support for our troops. That is how America’s military efforts in Iraq will end.”
Ended the ‘dont ask, don’t tell’ policy
“As of Sept. 20, service members will no longer be forced to hide who they are in order to serve our country,” stated Obama in a 2011 speech. Under the Don’t ask, don’t tell policy, the LGBT community was subjected to the unfairness of standards of conduct and equal opportunities. This would often force them to hide their orientation for fear of backlash, beatdowns and bullying.
Obama created 15 million private sector jobs
During his presidency Obama kept his promise in dropping the unemployment rate - the unemployment dropped from 10.1% in October of 2009 to 4.9% by early 2016. Looking back on our presidents, Obama’s still well behind President Clinton and Reagan - Clinton created 22.9 million jobs during his presidency and Reagan put 18.1 milion people to work.
just simply gave up looking for one and couldnt be adde to the actual unemployed status.
Obama caused a Pivot from the Middle East to East Asia.
In 2011, Obama ordered the military and diplomatic priorities to focus on the Asia and Europe. It was well known that USA actually had very little engagement with Asia and was focused far too much on the Middle East - the pivot allowed to start a better relationship with China.
Obama tripled the existing stock market
While Obama is not fully responsible for the stock market growth, it certainly doesn’t hurt that it happened during his presidency - let’s not forget that the economy is just a slice of tasks every president has to think about.
Obama `Passed the Dodd - Frank act
In 2008, the USA faced the biggest financial crisis in its history and Obama was pressured to fix it. He created the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act law and claimed the crisis to that extent will not happen again. Many even argue that the actions of Bill Clinton deregulating the banking industry while in office along with Nancy Pelosi having sided with Ben Bernanke, created the entire crisis to begin with… Something that George W Bush couldn't seem to rebound from when the housing and the stock market crashed during his presidency.
