Key Achievements - Part 1

Here are some key achievements from Obama’s time as President:

In 2010, Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, creating universal health insurance and benefiting 32 million of the least privileged Americans.

Also on the subject of healthcare, Obama has given the FDA the power to regulate tobacco, forcing tobacco companies to disclose all ingredients, display much larger health warnings, and banning them from incorrectly labelling some tobacco products as ‘light’.

In 2011 he eliminated global terrorist Osama Bin Laden by ordering a special forces raid of a compound in Pakistan.

Obama brought the military firmly into the 21st Century by allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the forces.

After the practices of Wall Street financiers caused the global financial crisis, Obama signed legislation (the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act 2010) to ensure things couldn’t get so disastrously wrong in the future.

Understanding the tensions in Egypt, Obama urged President Mubarak of Egypt to resign. When Mubarak was overthrown, Obama’s concern proved correct, and America were seen as being on the correct moral side of the Arab Spring.

Throughout Obama’s presidency, world approval of the United States has increased - the exact opposite to what had happened during Bush’s time in office.

Helped combat global warming by introducing new fuel efficiency standards designed to double fuel economy for automobiles by the year 2025.

On the same subject, he has also taken steps to begin closing the most polluting powerplants in the US, potentially saving $140 billion in future health spending.

By luring private capital into the country’s largest banks to buy toxic assets, Obama saved the banking system at almost zero cost to the government.
