<<<Please feel free to post to me what his accomplishments while holding that position at Harvard. You can list what you believe his top 3 accomplishments, to date, have been as POTUS as well. I'm assuming you wish to back up your post....>> I will preface my comment by saying I am a liberal, and we liberals are not that happy with Obama. He is too right wing for us. You wanted three: 1) He appointed two (sane) supreme court justices that voted against the citizens United decision. An unconstitutional decision and the worst since the Dredd Scott, IMO. Republcians nominated 6 supreme court justices who voted for that decision and one who would have (Rhenquist) 2) He ended don't ask don't tell. Clearly unconsitutional as it is a civil rights issue. 3) The stimulus program while being far too small did prevent a depression. If he had not buckled to making 40% as tax cuts which do nothing and made the stimulus about 1.5 trillion instead, we would probably be out of this mess. 4) He saved our auto industry. I would remind you that when clinton raised taxes every single Republican voted agaisnt it and predicted a depression. Instead Clintons program created 22 million jobs, great welath and huge surpluse which he was using to pay down the deficit. Had bush just continued the clinton policies and not started two stupid wars the CBO projected we would havbe been debt fee in 2012. PS you don't think being editor of the harvard law review is a big deal? It is trust me. That is how much bush screwed this country up.
