A nuclear treaty was signed by the US and Russia, excellent progress has been made for the first time in years against the Taliban with Pakistan's help. A nuclear summit with 47 nations just concluded with excellent results at reducing proliferation. China is about to revalue the yuan. Israel is finally learning that to be an ally means they must treat us with respect and that they need to stop building settlements on land that belongs to Palestine if they ever want peace. Iraq has learned that American patients has limits and that freedom and government is now their responsibility, not ours.

But most of all, we have an American President that is focused on Americans first and foremost, as opposed to Bush Jr who didn't give two shits about Americans and spent more money nation building in Iraq than he did to help Americans or invest in our future. Obama successfully reversed the tide of an economic meltdown that almost resulted in the Second Great Depression. Obama has passed a health care bill that will ultimately insure 32 million more Americans. He has invested $80B in renewable energy..more than all past Presidents combined. He has increased mpg requirements to 35 mpg, the first increase in decades. And he's made excellent progress towards a comprehensive Energy bill and Financial reform.

I'd say Obama has had one hell of a good first year.
