Z, You may not like any of them, but them's a heck of a lot of accomplishments. The only one he had a hand in actually pushing through was ObamaCare. Most of his other "accomplishments" were already fait accompli or just plain spin. Really, he toppled Gaddafi? LOL, he didn't do anything but cheer the French on. Tenchusatsu

>> This is already a year old, but: It is a fucking joke. The ACA -- legislation which no thinking person would support, is NOT an accomplishment. But it gets worse. Passed the stimulus? You mean wasted, utterly WASTED, a trillion dollars of borrowed money. Ended the War in Iraq? Seriously? The war in Iraq was OVER until this damned fool waltzed out without any reasonable provision for ongoing security. The result is a deterioration of a stable situation. Eliminated Bin Laden? You mean killed a guy whose power had been diminished to merely controlling TV via remote? Reversed Bush Torture Policies? Which Bush himself had already "reversed" by virtue of not having conducted any waterboarding years? This is just dumb. Fodder for idiots.

Mubarak ended thirty-year rule when overthrown on February 11.
